WONDER WOMAN CAST in ‘BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN.’ Gal Godot in the house.
The face for DCU’s cinematic Wonder Woman has been found. It’s Gal Gadot, and I apparently know her from Those Really Fast and Furious Flicks. What I don’t know? Is if she can act.
Rumors have swirled for months about whether or not Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck will be joined by another hero in the sequel to Man of Steel. Now we have the answer: Gal Gadot (the Fast and the Furious series) will be Wonder Woman in Zack Snyder‘s upcoming Batman Vs. Superman.
Snyder said 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.
Gadot had her first major film role as Gisele in the fourth Fast and the Furious film, and she added a lot to the character in the fifth and sixth movies, where she developed into a significant supporting player who played important parts in the series’ big action setpieces.
…but I mean. Does she really need to act? She’ll probably have four steel-faced lines, and then be replaced by a CG incarnation that brawls around Gotham for an hour and a half while someone doing a facsimile of Hans Zimmer blares horns and shit.
