I just pose the question: can anyone see a "Wonder Woman" movie hitting theaters with Gal Gadot in the lead role? Didn't think so.
And Henry Cavill wasn't that famous either. If they surround her with big names stars, like Man of Steel, it'll be fine.
I love that she isn't some big-name caucasian actress. A lot of the GP don't know that Wonder Woman is Greek, so should look a little 'exotic' I guess. Only issue is height and build.
Don't even. The Amazons are Greek and Wonder Woman gets her powers from the Greek gods (or in New 52 continuity, is a Greek god). And Greece has plenty of islands. Henry Cavill was the second lead of a six-season television series on cable, co-starred in a Woody Allen film, headlined a successful action film, and worked on many other films. Gal Gadot was a glorified extra in two Fast & Furious movies and competed at Miss Universe.
If she ends up being a love interest for Superman and they kill off Lois Lane, the internet will fucking explode.
If this is true, I may actually just not watch the film. Conflating Wonder Woman with Supergirl. Why not also give her some claws and have her purr?
Delayed until May 2016 because apparently they aren't worried about Henry Cavill being about 47 by the time Justice League is filmed.
