When i read alot of people's comment, many has a tendency to overate Jaimie Alexander as a "perfect fit". Come one people! As mush as i like her as a person, she didn't look the part either. Yes she had the hair colour and the blue eyes but that is about it. She's really snowhite in her skintone, almost pale and has a very thin build. She really has that american girl next door looks to her, but nothing at all to pass her as an greek/amazon mediterranean woman. With Gal Gadot, we have that advantage, she has a natural skin tone comparable with the Greeks and her accent (with some twists) will only make her more believable as Wonder Woman.
A agree she doesn't have muscles yet, but that's just a matter of time, she will hit the gym with personal trainers. And by the way, Jaimie Alexander doesn't have the physic either, people always point's out action scenes in Thor, but really we don't see that very physical muscle work from her. Both because the directors have underused her character but mainly because she has a medieval looking armour covering her entire bodyframe.
The biggest concern we all should focus on is her acting ability, does have Gal Gadot have the acting strength to pull of stand alone Wonder Woman, yet alone a supposed franchise? That were the question marks should be, but she got the part. And DC/Warner usually does a great job finding the actors for the right part, so we should assume she did a fantastic screen test.
Wonder Woman is very hard roll part to cast, no doubt about, she's always been described and drawn to be the most perfect woman, strong empathic and the looks of the perfect female specimen ever known to mans world (pun intended). But in all honesty, i haven't seen any actress or model or whatever to fit the part 100%. Because their are non to fit all of our fictional picture of her. With that been said, i believe strongly in what DC are doing, and i'm looking forward to see Gal Gadot blowing all are expectations away.
