Wonder Woman: Gal Gadot - I think this may not be a disaster.

So! The next Superman film is going to feature Wonder Woman. She will be played by Gal Gadot, who's best known for her role in the recent Fast & Furious movies

I'm pretty sure they will, because the rumour was that the frontrunners were Gal Gadot, Elodie Yung and Olga Kurylenko, all of whom have accents, so if that's true (and given the way it's panned out I'm inclined to believe it?) then all their finalists had accents. I could buy one of their favourites just happening to have an accent and them being like, "ah, either she can fake an American one or we'll have Diana be foreign," but all three? Sounds more like something they were deliberately looking for.

Also, yeah, it's totally gross and completely unsurprising. They cast Gal Gadot who's model thin and they're all complaining she's not curvy enough, they don't believe she could bench-press a car and her tits won't fill the bustier. Had they cast someone with a physique like Gina Carano, then people would have been complaining she was too manly or fat or some shit. It's a totally unwinnable situation.

I think she has a good look for Wonder Woman too, particularly her face - her features are striking and regal. As I said, in my mind, Wonder Woman does have a more Amazonian build, but as I said, that really isn't something I'm terribly concerned about and if the producers are they can always make her beef up like they did Cavill.

I'm invested in being as optimistic as possible!
