Gal Gadot has been announced as Wonder Woman in 2015’s Batman Vs Superman sequel. No, I hadn’t heard of her either. Then again, I haven’t seen any of the Fast & Furious films and she was in Nos 4-6 as Gisele. She looks alright, though, but can anyone be as good as Lynda Carter? Probably not.
And it’s going to seem weird with Ben Affleck in the Batman role, too. Sure, Christian Bale was far too moody, but he’s a much better actor.
Either way, director Zack Snyder has confirmed in a statement:
- 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.
Of course, every superhero movie needs a villain and the name of Callan Mulvey (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, 300: Rise of an Empire, Zero Dark Thirty) has been mentioned, but who as? Superman’s main enemy was Lex Luthor, so that’s always a possibility.
Time will tell, and that time especially will be July 17th 2015.
