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.

In some pictures she looks too skinny, in others she seems about right. She is pretty tall from what I can tell, or the dudes next to her are just short. Either way let's wait until we see her in the uniform, if she's even wearing that in the movie.

My main worry is that Snyder has something to do with the project if she´s getting a solo movie. She needs a solo before justice league not after.

Overwhelmed....

Glad that WW finally gets on the big screen. But no solo movie first appearance? Also, Ms. Gadot looks more like street level than Superman level, probably because she was street level in FF. I don't know if she can act. And please, DO NOT make her a babe/slut/someone's girl friend.

So, is Wonder Woman's enemy in MOS 2 supposed to be Bilemea?

@tazzmission: I totally agree. Maggie Siff has nearly the perfect look.

This like the 10th time I'v posted this, Gal Gadot is a god damn ex-Israeli solider and sports instructor, she will f*cking bulk up.

The Fact That Wonder Woman is in the film: Happy

I'll reserve judgment till the film come out. All I home is that they get the group dynamic right. Right now the only thing I feel comfortable saying about this casting is that she doesn't sound the way I expect Wonder Woman to sound, maybe they will have her do another accent for the film?

It looks as if though my predictions are coming true. I said early in the summer that DC shouldn't do one off films for every JL member but instead go from Superman to the Trinity and then go to Justice league.

Mixed feelings about this. I will wait and see until the movie comes out, but DC seems to be all over the place with their TV shows and movies.

@kriminal: @fil123:

oh ya, nearly forgot 'bout the end credit scene (you can't blame me though, it's a bad movie, I usually remember all CBM)...

the studio have no plans for Deadpool with Ryan...

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.

That's the problem with WB, if they do JL movie in the future, different actor cast for GL? like Don Cheadle as Rhodey in Iron Man 2? lol, if that's it then the GL film has zero impact on JL film development.... WB wasted $200millions.

Okay, let say Ryan reprises his role as DP in X-force, with Cable right? but problem is DP still can't talk!

I really hope they make X-force good, I was really exciting when they announced the movie.

From the F&F series, she can definitely be a badass, not sure about acting since those movies don't require too much effort. As for the look, we'll see. People's bodies are different and it is not as easy for some to bulk up. She just needs to not look like Zoe Saldana in Columbiana, it was just too unbelievable seeing a stick kick ass like that.

@flazam: Well, this could still be a Superman film, if he is the main focus point. Ironman 2 is still an Ironman film. Even though War Machine and Black Widow/ Nick Fury are in it. I know that not really reassuring to hear, especially consider that Ironman 2 was horrible. However, it's shows that it is possible to still have a main focus even with a lot of characters.

WB better hire a trainer who follows her around 24/7 to make sure she chugs protein shakes. Apparently that Gym Jones place they sent Henry and the rest of the MoS cast is really good with getting actors in shape, so I can't say I'm afraid she'll be stick thin when filming begins.

As for the acting ability, I've never seen her in anything so I can't judge. Even if she isn't good in the Fast movies, those movies aren't exactly the best showcase of anything other than CG cars. I just hope she is able to emote, the worst actors are the unemotional ones.

P.S. I am looking foward to the fan outrage when they see her costume will have pants ;)

sexism is the act of taking something from the opposite sex, this does none of that.

im reasonably overweight but not exactly fat, if a woman said im missing abs and a chest, would that be sexist?

I'm getting sick of saying this now.

Gadot is herself a fitness trainer and an ex-Israeli solider, I'm sure she knows how to bulk up.

Uhh... I hope to hell they know what they are doing.

Gal Gadot, while having a pretty face and she may develop an athletic build before filming, she has the figure of a 12 year old.

Any way you slice it she doesn't have the body frame typically associated with Wonder Woman.

It probably won't matter anyway, because you can tell by the casting they're going with an armored version with a sword and shield. If not that, she'll be wearing a full bodysuit and covered up by a trench coat.
