A while back, I asked if Warner Brothers was casting for Wonder Woman. At the time there were rumors that Zack Snyder was quietly seeking an actress to play Wonder Woman in his Man of Steel sequel.

Well, that question has been answered. Gal Gadot will play Wonder Woman in that yet untitled film. Gadot will join Henry Cavill’s Superman, and Ben Affleck’s Batman in the picture. You may know Gadot from the Fast and Furious series. The world will soon know her as the first woman to portray Diana Prince on the big screen

Says Zack Snyder: “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.”

The eventual Justice League film thus finds one more piece in its puzzle. It took far too long to get this iconic character on screen. Lets hope Snyder is up to the task.
