Gal Gadot Cast as Wonder Woman in 'Batman vs. Superman'

Well, it looks like we could see DC's trinity in the next film!

We keep hearing more and more rumors about Man of Steel's sequel. Just the other day there was talk about Doomsday being in the film, but obviously we have to take all rumors with a grain of salt. Over the past several months, there's been a lot of chatter about Wonder Woman potentially making an appearance, but now it looks like the iconic character will really be in the movie! According to Variety, Fast Five actress Gal Gadot will become the DC cinematic version of Diana Prince!

No Caption Provided

No word on how big of a role the Amazon will play in the film, but regardless, it's very awesome to see the DC cinematic universe will be expanding and this is a character who definitely deserves a spot on the big screen. Director Zack Snyder shared his opinion of the character.

“Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character,”

Man of Steel's sequel is scheduled to open in 2015 (tentatively set at July 17, 2015) and will be co-written by David S. Goyer and director Zack Snyder.

Viners, do you think she's a good fit for the role? Don't be shy, let us know below.

Still think Jaimie Alexander would of been a better choice. But i guess will see how she does.

Jaime is already cast as Sif, ordinary people will gets confused.

Chris Evans was Cap and Johnny Storm. Reynolds was "Deadpool" and Green Lantern. Affleck was Daredevil and now will be Batman. I feel like there's a couple I'm missing.

Anyway, as long as its a different studio, its not impossible for them to play two characters.

Though I personally don't get over the crying of non-Jaimie. Chances are the character would get abandoned if she left for another big project. They all ready are under utilizing Sif as is.

1) Chris is casted as Cap. after Fox confirmed to reboot/abandon F4 project.

2) In W:Origins, Fox doesn't has plan for that incarnation of Deadpool to show up in future movies, which explains why Deadpool is killed in the movie.

3) Don't get me started on DD, the movie is flop, and total catastrophe, and the studio is 99.9% certain there won't be future movies for DD.

So my point is, studio's plan for actor/actress are depends on whether or not there is possibility of future appearance, if so, casting the same guy in 2 different characters would be confusing.

deadpool didnt die

his head was chopped off, and dropped into a 100 meters (yes, I googled it) nuclear power plant cooling tower.

watch the after credits scene... his body parts move to his head and then his eyes open and he says sshhh

@captain13: I agree, I think she's a great choice. Sometimes people lesser known work out great, look at Christopher Reeves(which people forget wasn't that big before Superman)

I support this move. And I loved her in the F & Furious movies.

The only thing that annoys me about this is that an obviously Israeli woman was chosen to play what was meant to be a Greek.

Nothing racial intended, I've nothing against any race, but I do like a bit of accuracy. I don't think it matters though, as we were never going to get a Greek looking Wonder Woman.

I can't say anything at the moment as I will give all actors a chance, and believe she can bulk up and pull it off.

I don't think I like the idea of a Snyder/Goyer/Nolan shared DC Universe, but I'm trying to be positive since at last we are getting the trinity on screen.

I don't think this can be considered a sequel to Man of Steel any longer though....

Also, I wonder what WW was doing when Zod was threatening earth...isn't that the same argument people used for why Superman couldn't exist in the Nolan bat universe?

She is absolutely gorgeous! and guys, guys...don;t jump to conclusion about her size. Remember Henry Cavill was not big either until he started working out with that Gym Jones guy? all we should be concerned about is her acting skills. She will do fine just like Henry pulled it off and Ben will ace Batman too.

Some people here seem to be forgetting that she will have to put on a few pounds of muscle to look the part. No surprise that she doesn't look like Wonder Woman YET!!!!!!!!!!!!! People calm the f--k down and go take a cold shower.

lol is ok. i actually would bet that he ends up becoming deadpool again. Many reports say he's ben trying to get a movie in the works. Also a new x-force script has deadpool and cable as the main characters (forget where i read that, maybe ign)

Well, that was easy compared to what Singer had to go through. How hard must it have been to find a guy with claws?

I wonder if Cavill can actually shoot laser beams out of his eyes?

Probably just light beams, and they used computers to make it look like lasers. Still pretty cool

Think of how hard it must have been to cast Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan. I mean how many actors can fly F-35s!?!?

I have no words to explain the fear I have of this casting choice. But as usual ill reserve my judgement until ive actually seen her in action. One thing that is for sure I hope she works out ALOT before the role, wonder woman needs some muscle.

Nah dudes nah. Cobie smulders should have beenthe one for this role. She is only 3 years older than what's her face and infinitely more beautiful. Its to bad she took that cursed maria hill role. The only other posibility would have been jennifer connoly but she just isn't at that age anymore.

Idk why ppl are getting so bent out of shape about this decision, she looks great for WW. I do hope she adds a bit more weight for the role of WW, she is a bit skinny. But other than that I'm really excited to see her as WW!

This movie won't flop, the Allure of Batman and Superman; with an appearance from WW has already made people (Non comic readers) WANT to see it.

What's going to kill it is the acting; but by that time you've already bought the ticket lol.

i have faith in the acting. cavil was a fantastic superman imo affleck has proven me wrong and i have gone on record saying i take back everything negative i said about the guy. now for this chick as wonder woman......... she was good in the fast franchise and was a bad ass in her own right but i dont think she has been in anything else to make people go and say oh yea her . like i said im waiting till i see the film and if it sucks i have to take my hat off to wb for at least trying something new for a change.

Agreed give them a chance. I will also be watching the film and absolutely agree with you

Not as hard as it was to find someone who could make a completely sustainable green energy source... in a cave... with scraps.

The people who cast for CBMs know how to do their jobs, I'll give them that.

I want to know is. How did they cure Ben Affleck from being blind? He was blind in Daredevil and he's not anymore!~

well thats out of left field, but better than the ufc chick. I hope the solo is good and they get the character right. I really think they should drop the diana prince alter-ego though.

also looks like she´ll have an accent. i don´t think the casting too bad as long as she can act.

do we know if she gets her own movie?

Oh by the way f%$%%& you Ben Affleck, you bastard now I have to go and see you as Batman. I was boycotting the movie. Maybe I´ll just wait for a WW film :)

@captain13: I wasn't sure who she was but the footage you posted before proved to me, at least, that Snyder is on to something. She may not have that "perfect" look or not have that "perfect" body for Wonder Woman standards, but like you said, she's going to get a PT and train her ass off to GET that physique. I hope that settles a lot of peoples doubt, definitely did for me.

I'm skeptical about this. Muscle isn't a problem, muscle can be gained. And knowing Snyder he will probably cg some on. But as an actress? I don't know. I don't like the fast and furious movies and she doesn't really have very many credits. But I'm just a little put off by Wonder Woman having an Israeli accent.

My first pic would've been Jaimie Alexander

Well Gal Gadot is a sports instructor and is also ex-Israeli military so I'm sure she can bulk up.

Not my first choice, not even a top 10 probably, but I won't be losing sleep either. I had a feeling that it would be her when they said she was 1 of 3 in the running.

see this.

That's a three year article that seems to think a Green Lantern 2 is actually happening. Not a source to take seriously. Ryan Reynolds is most certainly still Deadpool. He was still talking about the role very recently, and an X-Force movie featuring Deadpool is more or less confirmed.
