'Batman vs. Superman' finds its Wonder WomanAs if having Batman and Superman together in a movie wasn't enough, Zack Snyder's upcoming action epic has thrown in another major hero. Or should we say heroine.
Studio Warner Bros. and DC Comics confirmed on Wednesday that actress and model Gal Gadot has been cast in Snyder's Batman vs. Superman as Diana Prince, a.k.a. Wonder Woman. Gadot's portrayal of the Amazonian princess will be a first on the big screen. “Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe,” director Snyder said in a statement. “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.” Gadot, 28, most recently appeared in summer blockbuster "Fast & Furious 6," and has previously starred in 2011's "Fast Five," 2010's "Date Night" and "Knight and Day." The Israeli star will be joining Henry Cavill, who's reprising his role as the Man of Steel, and Ben Affleck, who of course has been cast as Batman, in the anticipated project. Batman vs. Superman, which DC Comics' says is still untitled, is scheduled to start principal photography in early 2014 with a release date of July 17, 2015.

Tall, muscular yet still femine build, beauty.... yes, she is pretty, but henry cavill's girl friend, who also does her own stunts would fit this profile better then her.
GO FOR IT
What does "He's taking the role seriously" supposed to mean? So he didn't take daredevil seriously? Is that supposed to make a true comic fan forgive him for spewing out a terrible comic interpretation? I'm still not happy with Afflek. I will never get over it.
I have mixed opinions about this choice for Wonder Woman however. I know we'd all like to see Gina in the role theres a couple reasons why they didn't go with her. One, she's not really a good actress. Sure she fits the role physically but she cant act or speak. They dubbed all her lines in that movie she was in. I'm sure, just like in every super hero flick Gal will be assigned a personal trainer and a high protein diet and in a couple months she will fit the role. I think what most of you are worried about is her bosom and seriously folks, that can be easily fixed with the right bra and padding. Any female can attest to this.
I think if Gal "Takes the role seriously" she will do fine. Trust me, Afflek will be the worst part of this movie.
Yep, so clearly they want this movie to set up and lead into the Justice League of America.

This is the real WW. We don't want a stick.
Linda Carter was perfect for Wonder Woman. They should keep to the same body type, etc.
Emily Deschanel (bones) would have been my choice. seen her in the costume for a halloween episode of bones, just a tiny bit of toning/cardio type workut to help define her muscle, and she would be perfect.
This? > {|}
Or this? > (|)
The comments about "Bulking Up" are not meant to mean she needs to turn into a bodybuilder...she just needs a more athletic appearance. She has good background with action in F&F movies and being in the Israeli military, she just needs the physique to go with it. My hope was Gina Carano...but as long as they get a good trainer, like the guy that bulked up Chris Hemsworth for Thor, and add some muscle to her, I'll go with it...but if she's still this thin, its just not gonna work, at least not for me.
I feel like I've read your comment before...
Oh yeah, you made a nearly identical remark on the other article about this actress.
I love how so many of these male posters are lambasting this woman for being too thin. These are the same jerks that go on other threads and criticize another woman for being too fat. Make up your mind, idiots. No wonder young girls end up with such a screwed up body image and develop eating disorders.
Margo, I can tell you've never read Wonder Woman comic books. The issue is that she's about to portray a female character that is supposed to be physically strong. People have an image in their head, and she isn't fitting it. The same holds true for men trying to play comic book characters, e.g. Ben Affleck as Batman.
I am not sure why anyone has an issue with Gadot at Wonder Woman – she is a perfect fit (I actual read the comics when I was a kid).
It's not a matter of who's fat or thin, Look through the comic books you twit wonder woman had the curve of a freakin hour glass all day every day every freaking WW book. And you really think this twig is going to fit into the image? No she won't she's just going to ruin alot of peoples already perfect image of wonder woman. PERIOD.
@T.C.C., such passion, such pent up aggression toward another commenter, all over a fictional comic book character. COMIC BOOK!
Loser.
omg. What was that show where moms pushing daughters to be 5 year old beauty queens? Tell me how the world turns again.
As it always should be for any movie script, it seems all us movie patrons expect a recreation of the best possible incarnation of the character in question. Needless to say, we all know the dangers incurred by "...horse[s] designed by committee.."
For all of you saying she's too thin to play Wonder Woman, soak this in: Lynda Carter was 5'9 and 122lbs while filming Wonder Woman the TV series. Gal Gadot weigh is nearly the same height and weight.
Lynn Collins, C'mon down!! (wolverines girlfriend)
A 5'9" Amazonian princess? She may have the face but at 5'9" she isn't going to have the imposing presence of Wonder Woman. How about someone like Gabrielle Reece? At 6'3" at least she can physically play the part.
I don't know, at 5'9" she will tower over many of Hollywood's leading men. Besides, they will slap big heeled boots on her.
The comments about bulking up are interesting. It would only be to fill the misconception that WW actually needs to be bulked up or ripped. Think about it. A character with super strength, like WW is supposed to have, doesn't need to be bulked up, per se. (Same goes for Superman, btw). Would they really be going out and working out at the gym? Can you just imagine the gym that could actually give Wonder Woman or Superman a real workout? 🙂
I also think she need to put on some muscle; however, D.C. says Wonder Woman is 6'0 and 130lbs. That's pretty thin for a a women that tall.
Not a "car movie" fan so not familiar with her body of work- she will have to be a heck of an actress and athlete if she is to truly be wonder woman. Another 25 pounds put in the propper places will help the look. Linda Carter she isn't.
With the right push-up bra she will be just fine.
Maybe she can get breast implants before filming begins.
Maybe you can too. If you do it together, they might give you both a group discount.
Lol
Does anyone recall the fanboy uproar years ago when they 'miscast' too-skinny Hugh Jackson as Wolverine, a character typically portrayed as squat and absurdly bulky in the comics? Yeah, how'd that work out?
He put on over 25 pounds of muscle for the role.
If she can do that, then she'll have earned the part.
Personally, I would have gone with Lynn Collins (Dejah Thoris in "John Carter"), but that's just my opinion.
Who is Hugh Jackson? I don't remember an outcry about Hugh Jackman.
I know a Hugh Jasshoel, but not Hugh Jackson.
Please no. This chick is as flat-chested as a 12-year old boy. Come on. WW has to be at least a D-Cup!!
*Jackman (damn auto correct)
But please keep in mind...she has to jump and stuff, they might pop out. Might be a good thing thou, blind the villain, then she can kick a/ss
D cups, A cups...whatever pops out accidentally is cool by me.
She's beautiful, no doubt, and can probably act, but she's a TWIG! Not any kind of fighter or Amazon. I agree Gina Carano would be a far better pick. Already a proven action star from her first movie and has a more appropriate build for Wonder Woman.
Just a few much much much better choices: Megan Fox, Stacy Keebler, Gina Carano, Adrianne Palicki, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan, Erica Durance,,,,,, Not this anorexic rail of a girl who is in dire need of a sandwich..
JLH? (Jennifer Love Hewitt)? Durance? Nah.....I agree that Gadot is not the first choice I would have had for WW, but seeing as how she probably came cheaper than some of the other women I can guess why WB went with her. Not a fan of her acting...feels so damn wooden. I had my heart set on either Cerano or the woman from that failure John Carter movie. sometimes I wonder what the hell WB execs are smoking when they approve decisions like this.
Megan Fox?? Seriously??? LOL
Rose McGown. JLH, Stacy Keebler, Alyissa Milano, Megan Fox = LOL. Several of your are choices are barely over 5 feet tall.
Directly from the D.C. database: Wonder Woman is 6'0 and 130lbs.
I said better choices kids, not definitive choices. Height will be the least of their worries. Most are focusing on a more localized area.
...and none of your choices are better choices. Alyssa Milano, Rose McGown, and Megan Fox? Lol. SMH @ better choices. Also, I'm fairly sure height was a factor when deciding who gets to play a tall Amazon woman.
Tom Cruise barely meets the height requirement to ride a roller coaster, yet he is considered an action star. To be an amazon and taller, there are ramps, boxes or camera angles or cg make the illusion work. Adding size in other areas of her body will make it too fake. Like Affleck's acting.
They also cast Michael Cera to play Bane.
And Louie Anderson as the Joker.
LMAOOOO Egon. I could actually see that. Maybe Anderson could be Toy Maker and Chris Rock could be Black Mask. LMAO!
My pick is Aria Giovanni, she has everything and more.
Aria rocks
http://www.glamouradda.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Aria-Giovanni-Hot-Lingerie-Swimwear-Photoshoot-Gallery-21.jpg
With that pick they killed another super hero.
Aren't you supposed to be trolling the Sleuth Journal site, Sok?
Terrible, terrible pick. She's skinny as a model and probably couldn't fight here way out of a wet paper bag.
They should have picked Gina Carano – the only woman on the planet who can play that part convincingly.
Absolutely! Gina Carano is a far better pick. Her first movie was amazing.
The correct choice was Megan Fox. Even looks like wonder woman and can at least fill out the top unlike this skinny runway model.
Nope. Megan is far too skinny and too short. She also cannot act.
A better choice would have been Gemma Arterton.
fox is short and can't act as well as doesn't have the grown up look...LOL. Gadot might be skinny but isn't hard to bulk up.
Too bad. They kind of need to be good at acting.
This will be great for the dvd sales of the one and only Wonder Woman - Linda Carter. Does anyone else think this movie will be a box office flop?
Box office flop for sure, due to poor casting. A skinny Israeli is America's wonder woman? I remember my Dad and uncles would come running when they heard the wonder woman opening music playing, "...and the powers you possess..." Linda Carter had some powerful jugs that reduced bad guys to putty.
I remember that too, Ellen. They'd cheer on the Germans she was fighting, secretly hoping one of them would pull down her top. Which uncle was it that wore the little postage stamp Hitler 'stache?
Everybody know how hollywood works, be jewish, know somebody and we make you a star even if you sucks, that is the reason why 10% or less of Hollywood actors can really act.
Thanks for weighing in, Adolph.
Politically incorrect but completely true. I commend you for your moral courage. Scarlett Johansson, Amanda Bynes, Seth Rogan, James Franco ... all lousy actors of the same ethnicity. I thought about this the other day when the Maltese Falcon story ran: Completely set in one room, it was so good because of quality acting. Those days are gone. But don't say what is true – look what happened to Mel Gibson when he observed exactly this.
I'm sure you get the same reaction when you voice your opinion, fräulein. Tell me - when you watch a WWII movie, which side do you root for - the Allies or the Axis? I think I can guess...
So you're saying 90% of the actors in Hollywood are Jewish? I'd love to see your basis for that claim.
Terrible pick, SHE NEED TO EAT!, A warrior amazon fragile and with 100 pounds?, really?, Wonder woman has meat, boobs, butt and hips kind Linda Carter has.
Lynda Carter is still hotter, better looking, more talented, etc. Seriously, check it out when she plays jazz at Lincoln Center in New York. She's still got it! This Gadot gal never had it
Ah, so now you get to tell women what they should look like? If she's happy with it, why is it any of my business?
No, Wonder Woman is 6'0, 130lbs; she's tall and thin.
The producers better wake up 'cuz judging from this thread the fellas will not be happy if they don't get Wonder Woman's body right. Right fellas?
She has no curves!!! What is Wonder Woman without those?!? Sad. Bring back Linda Carter!!
Once she is in costume she will be responsible for more killed sperm than the world has ever seen.
Bad pick. Gina Carano from Haywire would have been a much better choice. She looks more like and "amazon" and is a total bad @$$.
Gina Carano ! hands down!
They need someone more buff or can be buff. How about someone like Stacy Keibler? She is tall and has shown that she can get ripped
No wonder it took them so long to find a Wonder Woman. Clearly they settled for what they could find, instead of actually Waiting for Godot.
Way too thin, but that's really not all that relevant; Chris Evans was called too thin and too small to play Captain America, and he turned out to be a great choice. I'm more concerned about whether she can act, and further, whether she can carry a film on her own. A handful of bit parts as someone's girlfriend really doesn't inspire much confidence.
She has the looks, but Wonder Woman was a very strong looking person (Linda Carter was perfect). I hope they have her bulk up her muscles before playing the role. As for her bust, they can make that look bigger. They did for Angelina Jolie when she played Lara Croft.
I agree with another poster that Gal has the looks but she does need to bulk up some to look more amazonian.
Linda Blair was far from "bulked up." She wouldn't even be considered a "fitness model" by today's standard, but I agree that her look was strong. Must've been those penetrating eyes.
Linda Blair? from The Exorcist? What does she have to do with any of this?
Lmao..Linda Blair
When Linda Blair was full on possessed, her eyes were scary penetrating. Plus she had the powers of head spinning and projectile vomiting. She's probably my favorite female superhero.
Afflack as Batman
Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman
Why didn't they just cast Stephen Hawking as Superman while they were at it?
ROFFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, this choice is so bad, you've saved me $14.50 on the movie ticket at 2+ hours of my life not having to watch this movie. Much appreciated during the busy holiday season.
That's the funniest comment I've read in months!!!!!
Funniest comment in months? You don't read much, do you?
Lol @ egon..ha, ha exactly
It seems DC/WB have a strategy of making the worst possible casting choices, just to get lots of internet buzz.
Ben Aflack as Batman?
Wonder Woman as an anorexic?? At least she is tall...
I'm not so worried about Affleck. Word 'round the scuttlebut is that he's taking the role seriously. People protested in front of Fox studios about the Wolverine/Jackmam choice in 1999. I think Affleck can pull it off. I do agree with your overall statement though that DC has its head up its ass. WonderWoman should be played by a tall, muscular woman. Not a little lady.
If she bulks up she could fill the role well (depending on her acting of course). If she does not bulk up for a more amazonian look the right off she will be an epic fail. She better not come off looking like a catwoman wanna be. Get ready to eat some burgers and pump iron Gal.
Dan,
Yeah, people were concerned about Jackman/Wolverine, but regardless of whether Affleck is taking it seriously, we've already seen him as Daredevil and that was just a disappointment from the get-go. So I'd say people are much more justified worrying about Affleck based on what we've seen so far.
The real reason why Blockbuster movie went out of business - keep making movies that suck.
No, that wasn't even a fraction of the reason why Blockbuster went out of business, but thanks for playing!
Linda Carter was American, as in born here but her parents were not. Dad was Irish and mom was Mexican. I guess that would make her "non-white" so that should not be an issue. Carter had a better look. Her body looked great, she still looks great! According to her she still fits the suit.
This woman, unfortunately, fits today's stick Hollywood female prototype.
Agreed. As for the racial thing.. Wonder Woman is supposed to be Greek, isn't she? No some pasty wight girl...
Last I checked, Greeks were white!
Wonder Women is not Greek. Did you even read the comic or watch the television series? Wonder Women is an Amazonian princess from Paradise Island.
kurtinco-So she is an Amazonian Indian?
The Amazons she is based upon, the opponents (Ares) are from Greek mythology...
As for Greeks being white, yes they are as white as the actress here. Just not pasty pale.
This one is waaay too scrawny to be Wonder Woman – find someone with some meat on her bones and some actual muscle!
This attractive young lady is way too skinny. She looks like she barely eats and when she does, she runs to the bathroom to throw it up. She has the right face but her body is way to skinny. She will need to seriously bulk up for the role. Sure she has been in a couple of movies, but she can't act worth a damn. She was picked as eye candy only for her previous roles. Couldn't care less about her ethnic background. Of course the whole premise of the movie and the casting so far is ridiculous. It will bomb badly. They need to pick a better director and definately pick a better cast.
Have you looked at DC comic books and wonder woman? Her chest is about 5 times the size of her waist.
My only concern is, how do you introduce such an iconic character as a co-star to a movie that has two larger iconic characters? I think she will be washed out and her role/character won't amount to much. There is not enough time for a good background (like they did in Batman and Superman).
Marvel's avengers did it right – they had all of the characters (minus the two assassins who are small time) have their own movie. Good or bad movie, it gave a background
The fact that so many people mention she's Israeli shows the idiocy of this nation and true biases. Stick to the real issue here.......
She is not, um, "bulky" enough based on that picture to be an adequate wonder woman, israeli or not
My respect for the girl,she is beautiful! But Wonder Woman is American!!! Why cast someone who is Israeli ??!
She's an Amazon..didn't know that was in the US.. Why does every hero have to be American?
Wonder Woman is not american. Neither is Superman. Wonder Woman is an Amazon, but she is from Atlantis – not the Amazon. There is no Atlantis (other than the vacation resort) and people don't know where the mythical Atlantis ever was (it's suspected in the Caribbean)
Jo,
I agree. I don't want a muscle-bound Wonder Woman but Gal is super-model material, not super-hero.
To What?
Wonder woman is not from the Amazon region of Brasil, although that's not what you may have been thinking. She is actually from a mythical island called, "Themyscira", the so-called capitol of the Amazon tribe in Greek Mythology. However she was created by an American, was based in America, fought with other American super-heros, so I think that's why some claim her as American. If W W was being portrayed as anything other than Amazonian, that would be inaccurate. Since she is not really American, she should have an exoctic look like Gal Gadot has. Again, just needs to be a little more buffed.
Sorry, but as has been pointed out, Wonder Woman is not "American". She's an Amazon from Themyscira. Which in the comic continuity is it's own sovereign country. In classic mythology(Greek), it was the home of the Amazons, do it's very doubtful it was America.
wonder woman was not american , shes a Greek, an Amazon , and Greeks are tanned, with dark features, such as dark hair, dark eyes, not an "american" and fyi anyone that live in american is just decedent from someone from another country. native Americans what we call "Indians" because Christopher "i kill women and children with small pox blankets" Columbus was looking for India when he landed here then everyone else showed up.
Beautiful lady...talented actress. Should turn-out to be a good show. I'm just amazed at the racist/degrading comments...could really care less is she's white. Beautiful lady and good choice. Wonderwoman, Batman, Superman in one movie should be great.
It's "couldn't care less."
I just got adjusted to Ben Affleck ... I hate to say this but I agree with other comments she does look anorexic! We are talking Wonder Woman here lots of curves and a fabulous body and electric blue eyes. What are they thinking. She must know the casting director!
I guess the casting director was looking to bring in the high school and pedo crowd, because she has the body of a pre-teen.. She is supposed to be Wonder "Woman" not Wonder girl ...Terrible pick.
The new Angelina
Perfect choice.
WHAT?? This girl has a beautiful face, but WHAT? Wonder Woman is supposed to be bulkier. This girl looks anorexic. I have been supportive of Affleck as Batman, but now they have just gone too far. Will wait for this movie to come out on video. Won't be wasting money at the theater.
First of all, I very dissapointed with the noise that she isn't white, or she is an Isreali, or is Jewish.
This is the 21 Century people, enough.
That being said, not the woman I pictured as Wonder Woman. Jennifer Connelly, Megan Fox, sure...
Not white? who cares, I wouldn't kick her out of my bed..!!!
Not white? Think about it - WW has ancient Greek ancestry, so if anything she would be olive skinned like most Mediterranean people are. Israeli people are in that neighborhood. This actress has the Greek look that's needed for this role.
Oh please not Fox, she is way hot, but she cannot act to save her life.
OMG! I did not think of Megan Fox. She has the looks, but like Gal, Megan would also have to bulk up for a more Amazonian look. Neverthless I agree
Anne hathaway was a good fit for the catwomen, she had the right curves
Holy Anorexic Amazons, Batman!
too thin
As a fan I would like to point out that more than likely were not going to have "Workout Woman". It's Hollywood afterall. Remember the Red Sonja film. I'm sure she'll put some mass on, the film dosen't come out until '15. Hollywood will take liberties and I'm sorry but a voluptious Wonder Woman isn' t part of the Hollywood image at this time.
This is why Josh Wjedon should have gotten the job. Under him she would definitely have to go through a body transformation. Josh doesn't do half a job.
she could have atleast been white....
Don't worry, she is...
Olive to be sure
Knock it off already on the indignation that this actress isn't "white"! Wonder Woman is an Amazon, which would make her part of Greek mythology, and therefore she'd have likely been at least slightly olive skinned and brown-eyed. Yes, she'd no Lynda Carter, but who is, so let this girl do her job...
I concur, canuck. Well stated.
@canuckview
Fair point and I’d agree with you if this was based on a real person. However…this isn’t and she has always been portrayed as white by her creators. That said I don’t really care ether way. I’m more concerned with her being able to ..fill out… the role.
Gal Gadot is an Ashkenazi Jew, which means she is the exact same ethnicity as Natalie Portman, Logan Lerman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Paul Rudd, etc.
?
Really? Nobody else auditioned?
From the looks of it, she doesn't have enough.....you know.....to play the role of Wonder Woman. Maybe Wonder Girl? Wonder Teen?? Wonder Push-up Bra Lady???
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Is she going to learn how to eat food before attempting the role?
does she has the assets that Lynda Carter has?
The world's first anorexic superhero.
Booooooooooooooooo! They are trying to trash the franchise. First Ben Affleck as Batman now this???? I'm not saying she's ugly, but Wonder Woman she ain't. Do over!
I'd give her the bóne, but this broad ain't got the body to play the part. Wonder Woman has always been curvy and had an exceptional rack. What's the point?
Yay....Wonder Woman is now anorexic...
Lynda Carter would do better to reprise the role herself!
It would be great but I think that someone new should get the iconic role, but not this stringbean.
Why is Marvel succeeding in their movies but when it comes to DC they crash and burn ?! Only the Bale-Batman movies are a success – I rather see an Ambush Bug movie than this upcoming crap they got coming !
She is not hot enough.....poor choice.
She needs bigger boobs....
I agree, the original Wonderwoman looked wonderful, with good size boobies. This new one got a pretty face but doesn't have to voluptuous body to go with it. At least I won't be interested to watch it if it comes out.
One less idiot sitting near me in the theater when the film is released.
you'd be sitting by yourself.
Why????????
I would have preferred a voluputous and toned wonder woman in a skimpy skirt .... just like in the comics.
Gal is beautiful but looks like a skeleton. She has to gain weight and hit the gym if she wants to pull it off.
One guy wants Shamu
Shamu girls are the only ones Comic Geek can get.
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no...no way I want to see Wonder Woman as a skinny runway model.
Its bad enough they had cast Affleck as the Bat. He was already a super hero Dare Devil. No no no no no no no no no no no no no.
What a waste of big money
Let's see... we have Affleck as Bats so how can we screw this up even more? Hm..... AH! Let's take one of the first and iconic female superheroes and cast a bulimic piece of eye candy instead of a real actress! That should shut those "fans" up!
This is gonna sound sappy, but I think they should have tapped KATY PERRY for the Wonder Woman role. I know... I know... just keep feeding that b1tch's ego some more.... but hey, the body-type fits.
Agree 100%
Katy Perry makes horrendous music...nay, sound....but she'd make a way better Wonder Woman. Must have been a major f-gg–t that thought of casting this broad.
Agree, Katy would be good. Or how about that hot redhead from Mad Men? BTW when will women learn that men don't like really skinny girls? Especially not as Wonder Woman! We like curves. Same reason we like Ferraris.
Seriously how are they going to make a "magic lasso" believable? Oh I know: slip Shazam in there giving a rope magical powers, that will explain everything and make it much more believable.
That's Captain Marvel, Shazam is the magic word Billy Batson says to change into the big red cheese.
I like to see a movie about this guy, thou, based on the iconic "POWER OF SHAZAM" graphic novel and follow-up comic series.
cgi?
In an attempt to get people to forget the insanely bad idea of having Affleck as Batman, they pick a young woman who is a modern Twiggy with no curves as Wonder Woman!! The world recognizes Wonder Woman as looking like Lynda Carter! No amount of makeup, padding or workouts will get her anywhere near that! Thus driving another nail in the boxoffice of this DOA movie before it's even started production. Will they replace Cavill's Superman with David Spade next?
What ever happened to the idea of Gina Carano being Wonder Woman? I mean serious, she fought in MMA and 'Havoc' was a completely badass underated movie
Gina would have been great. She used to date Cavill, so I'm not sure why they didn't think to cast her. They're still friends. Megan Fox or Jennifer Biel were rumored a while back to play WW...either one would be a better fit. She HAS to gain weight otherwise, it makes no sense. It's like casting Kevin Garnet as Hulk or something. This is lame already and they haven't even started filming.
I totally agree 100% with Gina Carano ! She's the ONE to play WW, she's VERY attractive, built and can kick ass and has that ultra-brite smile almost like Lynda Carter's. After all, WW is the female equal to Superman.
Zack Snyder has to GO ! Anyone else agree ?
I want to make Gal a sandwich. Maybe turkey? I've got lots leftover. Why can't we cast a woman with a realistic body image (*without photoshop*) into a major role? I understand the rules, but I would love to see them broken, just one time.
Why must so many people make the joke to fatten someone up? She's healthy, athletic and attractive. There's no need to inject fat in her.
Here comes wonder woman huffing and puffing
Did they consider Rebel Wilson? She's curvy and blue eyed. They could always dye her hair or fit her with a black wig.
It's Wonder Woman NOT Shamu
WAY TO DROP THE BALL, FOOLS!
The role of Wonder Woman had Jaime Alexander written all over it, hands down. Period. No other woman could have filled that role like her. This movie is going to be beyond pointless.
I pictured Gina Carano for the role, Jaime Alexander would also have been perfect if she wasn't already lady Sif in Thor.
Ohh great . . . Affleck as Batman??? He made a terrible appearance as DareDevil and now he is going to play this role? It would be better with the Aflac duck.
LMFAO!
Dear God, that's so funny !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greatest joke of the day !
Thanks !
You guys must have pretty low standards for humor - "funniest joke of the day?" "LMFAO?" Really?
You'd better not hear the knock-knock joke my five year old has been telling people lately; you'd probably go into cardiac arrest.
When I saw the headline I was hoping the choice would not be a politically correct actress. Now, in the movie, I am sure she will be smarter and stronger than Superman and Batman and the only "manly" character in the film.
Define 'politically correct actress."
your insecurity alarm is going off like crazy.
The fact that these people think that batman could in any way be a match for superman should tell you all you need to know about their thinking.
Where are the water blue eyes and curvy figure? Pass. Mistake.
Easy fix, blue contacts and CGI her head to Lynda Carter's body. :/
I'd like to put my head on Lynda Carter's body!.
...did I say that out loud?
No, but you typed it out loud.
Has Snyder ever looked up the word Amazon?
1. a member of a race of female warriors of Greek mythology
2. a tall strong often masculine woman
She couldn't fill out the bikini (both top or bottom) in Fast and Furious 6
Though Gal may be a beautiful woman she's not a Wonder Woman
I thought Wonder Woman had BLUE eyes? Are there really no blue eyes in America? This a travesty.
Are you looking for a pure Aryan?
It seems like several of them are on here, Pablo. Apparently someone didn't get the memo that the third reich ended a number of years ago.
Last I checked Wonder Woman had black hair. I'm afraid she too isn't the "Pure Aryan" some of the closet neo-nazis are looking for. Perhaps they should get miss piggy. She's blond and has blue eyes. She'll qualify.
Casting this malnourished,though pretty woman as Wonder Woman is a travesty. Gal Gado could not fill out the bikini bottoms in Fast and the Furious. How do you expect her to put on a Wonder Woman costume. There has to be a better choice out there somewhere. #disappointed
hashtag "disappointed"? Are you kidding, you nerd? Why not #Imawhiner ?
Agree. I'm no fan of Israel and the trouble they got America into in the Middle East, but that is not relevant to stuff like this. The problem is – she's a pretty girl, maybe a nice person too, but a completely disappointing choice for Wonder Woman.
Thanks for being an idiot by taking any opportunity to spew your oversimplified bias. P.S. Nowhere on Stacey's thread do I see hatred of Israel mentioned.
Would you like Wonder woman better if she had a ticking clock strapped acoss her chest yelling "Aphrodite Akbar!"
Face is beautiful but "Wonder Woman has a full figure, big boobss and but, small waist, I miss the original, I think Megan Fox comes close to this.
Ah, you'll still pound your pud to her the minute they release photos of her in costume, fanboy.
Can Zack just stop already.
The last decent thing he's done was the Dawn of The Dead Remake and we are still waiting for that sequel.
Your superhero movies suck and abviously no one will say anything to him.
I find it very important that they stay true to the comic book. How can they post of pic and not show her boobs? Everyone knows Wonder Woman has enormous knockers. It's very important to the plot.
Since she has no boobs, or butt for that matter, such a pic wouldn't matter.
I can see a couple of areas where she comes up flat.

I will keep abreast of the situation and hope the casting director sees the light. How about the gal from Mad Men?
Responding to RL,
The gal from Mad Men, Christina Hendricks, would be better in playing Power Girl (which is a better fit for her) than WW.
GINA CARANO would be the perfect WW !
