Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman

One of the women from Fast and Furious will be Wonder Woman in Batman vs Superman.

I guess they do not want to be like Marvel and cast talented actors in the roles of their superheroes.

She's not talented? I've never seen her in anything. At least she is a little tall.

I've never seen any of her movies, either, so I've no idea how talented she is (or isn't).

I find it weird folks are commenting on her physique as not being muscular enough. Have none of them seen what Henry Cavill, Christian Bale, Chris Hemsworth, etc. used to look like? Actors bulk up for roles. And slim down for other roles. It's part of the whole "acting" gig.

1. The Fast and Furious movies are not known for their acting talent. Or acting. Or script. Or plot. They're Michael Bay without robots. That's ok but it does not indicate an actor has any talent. Or reluctance to shuck and jive for easy cash.

2. The movie is gonna have Ben Afflec in it. Like, how good does anyone actually think it's gonna be?

3. The movie is gonna have Superman in it. Like, how good does anyone actually think it's gonna be?

This is the dept of Henry Calvill's talent. He does this about three times in the film.

As for WW, I wonder if she will be wearing unpractical high heel boots or not.

That and her star spangled thong could be the only thing that makes the movie watchable.

Wow. Such objectification of women. /shakeshead

She's the same height as the iconic Lynda Carter - 5'9"

I thought Gina Carano might have been better, but I have no say in the matter as I'm not the producer or director.

Never seen Gadot in anything, either, but I'll give her a chance before writing her off. (I think Affleck could be okay if Batman's screen time is limited - Affleck is not a great actor by any stretch, but is decent when he's in the right role.)

It is par for the course for comics and comic book movies and there wasn't a force on earth that was going to make them pick someone unattractive for the role. If she has acting range, that is great, but there was a very specific reason Black Widow's outfit in the Avengers movie looked the way it did. Shame on me for not being afraid to tip toe around the issue.

There were a lot of talented actors in Spider-Man 3, but that didn't stop the movie from sucking. (The same with Amazing Spider-Man a few years back...)

And, I don't think any of the actors who've played Superman over the years have been mistaken for Laurence Olivier.
