Gal Gadot: Why she’s not a good fit for Wonder Woman

by 261 Comments

Anthony Stokes is still not sold on Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman…

Gal Gadot has been working out hard in an effort to appease critics of her casting as Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, releasing several pictures of herself having ” bulked up” for the role. Personally, I literally cannot tell the difference before and after. Some will argue that it makes me misogynistic for criticizing an actress for not resembling the comic book character they’re portraying. However, I don’t think Gal Gadot is a good fit for Wonder Woman, and it has got nothing to do with sexism when I say that.

I have a question that the Gal apologists seem unable to answer.  Why is it that it’s okay to say males need to have a certain physique to play a comic book role, but not females?  Why is it that Chris Hemsworth has to be a gigantic monster of a human being to play Thor, but it’s not okay to expect the something similar for Wonder Woman, relative to the character of course? If we can criticize Michael B. Jordan for being cast as Johnny Storm due to his race, something he cannot change, then surely Gal cannot not be free of scrutiny.

There are decades of Wonder Woman comics with possibly hundreds of different artists over the years, so it’s impossible to nail down what the ideal Wonder Woman looks like.  I’ve seen skinny Wonder Woman sure, but typically my idea of Wonder Woman is of a traditionally thicker build.  Now, again this is not everyone’s vision of Wonder Woman, so I can understand people not minding her being a bit slimmer. Personally, I’d like a Wonder Woman with a physique where it’s believable when she’s kicking ass. And I’ve heard “her strength doesn’t come from her muscles”. Great. So then why does Chris Hemsworth need to have a body fat percentage that might be in the negatives to play Thor? I’ll wait…

Regardless of her physique, let’s get down to my real problem with her casting. She’s set to play one of the most iconic female characters in fiction, her biggest acting role to date is Fast & Furious 6, and she was bad in that. You cast Angelina Jolie as Wonder Woman with the build she has now, and I’d have no problem with it, because she’s a good actress. But if you’re not going to get an established actress, then you could at least have them look like the character they’re portraying.  I just don’t understand the casting on any real level other than two things: price, and also race. Warner Bros. has made note of how it’s trying to diversify the Justice League and it was rumored at one point the studio wanted a United Nations-style Justice League with each member representing a different race or country, something I do find admirable, it should be said.

Only time will tell if this is good casting or not. I didn’t see the audition tapes so maybe there is something Gal is bringing to the table other than diversity. However – and I hope I’m wrong here – but I’ve not seen anything to suggest she’ll have more to offer than looking regal and pretty, which is exactly what she did in Fast & Furious 6.

Do you agree, or are you looking forward to seeing Gal Gadot’s take on Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman? Let us know your thoughts…

  1. Good good–this is so pathetic. We have not seen one second of film from Ms. Gadot and you already are saying she’s not a good fit??? You may not like the casting, but at least wait until you see her act in the role. She looks great in the uniform.

      • Because we haven’t seen anything yet! She has gotten a lot of undeserved criticism and nasty comments, and I think that’s totally unfair.

        Then again, no one’s forcing you to see it. Don’t go if you hate her casting so much.

Only time will tell how well of a job the casters have done but on the evidence we have now, Gadot’s previous work, a lot of people don’t think they have done well. It’s not like Stokes is saying she’s a bad actress, the point is this will be one of the biggest female roles of the decade and we haven’t had any evidence Gadot can handle it.

          • You need to re-read the last sentence of the article. The author is clearly suggesting Gadot is a worthless actress…

          • Because blockbuster movie franchises with small roles are best ways to judge foreign actors?

            I’m sure you idiots would say Marion Cotillard is a terrible actor if you only knew about Dark Knight Rises. This is why most criticisms so far have been worthless and stupid like most fan complaints.

          • Uhhh no I’d say Marion Coltillard was a good actor because of Inception and other movies she was in. Because she’s a good actor. Even if a performance is bad due to bad writing or direction there can still be some charisma there, but Gal has none in my opinion.

          • She isnt a good actress. And i think the point taken was that Thor and Superman have to be beefcakes…but somehow Gal is omitted this prerequisite…why ? As a woman, i dont see why she fits the role either.

            Its not all about her body. Her stature, her intimidation, and just her overall toughness. Just not there for me.

          • Yes! It is about her body! Who the hell can take Wonder Woman seriously is she simply looks like a lingerie model who couldn’t life a 30 pound dumbbell!!!!??

          • Why is Gal Gadot so massive and fat?? Not to mention fugly faced! I just went to IMDb and first photo in costume is badly hiding her massive gut! WTH??? Yes, she will be body-shamed for being a tub of lard! She’s an actress and she just took a job from a pretty and slim actress that she didn’t deserve cos she fat and fugs.

        • I realize it’s too late,but I have seen the perfect actress for Wonder Woman(and some of you have,too).

          Her name: GINA CARANO.

          Think about it.

          She’s already made her mark as an athlete,so you don’t have to bulk her up.

          She’s had a VERY GOOD MOVIE under her belt,working with Micheal Douglas,Antonio Banderas,and a proven director,Steven Soderburgh.

          I’M JUST WAITING TO HEAR A RESPONSE FROM ANYONE WHO
          CAN/CANNOT SEE THE POINT HERE.

        • I wont go see the film. Her casting, among other things, is what turned me off this.

          That being said, as fans, we still have a voice. And alot of us dont like Gal for the role. Its isn’t personal. But like i have said previously, you have to take consideration of whom you use for what role. Sometimes its physical, sometimes its based on personality, experience, athleticism. None of which Gal has shown in spades. Not to play Wonder Woman anyway.

          You wouldn’t cast Andrew Garfield as superman. But as spider-man he worked. There are many different reasons for this including his wirey body-type & ability to make those quick comebacks convincingly 🙂

          Regardless, i hope movie goers enjoy the movie. I just dont believe in her as Wonder Woman. Sorry.

          • Actually,Mary, I would start a Facebook page URGING moviegoers to BOYCOTT this excuse for a movie.
            Not just for Gadot(fitting her name rhymes with Garbo. They BOTH should be left alone),but Ben Affleck will completely ruin another franchise. Affleck is an Oscar winner as a screenwriter and a producer. As an actor,he makes George Clooney look like John Barrymore.

            DC characters work better on TV.
            Marvel totally OWNS the movies.

            Like Stan The Man would say, “Nuff Said”.

          • JOE, thank you for pointing this out.
            So her name is pronounced ‘Ga-DOTT’.
            I never considered this.
            I once dated a woman named Margot,where the ‘T’ IS silent.
            Best sex I ever had,but that’s another story.

            Again,thank you,JOE.

          • You probably didn’t want MICHAEL KEATON to be BATMAN. It looks like it turned out okay, though. I’ve seen the trailer for WONDER WOMAN and most people think she’s very good in it.

        • Critical analysis is intimately interlaced with the professional arts.. from inception to completion.

          Persons’ of culture understand this and are not quick to invoke “personal” responses in their reception of them.

      • I have seen the trailer of wonder woman, she stinks, I grew up watching wonder women, she displayed verbally justice, right from wrong and the American way, do not like this actress accent for one, small and weak looking, did not like her debut in Batman verses etc… should be played by a brawny superman type, for liberty and justice for all, I do not plan to go see the movie or purchase it either, and I have all DC and Marvel dvds.

        • then you have already closed your mind before you saw one second of footage, and that says more about you than it does about how appropriate she is or isn’t in the role. Sad really – a self proclaimed film reviewer who has already made up his mind before the movie is even finished. You of all people should know that the final product may look drastically different than some promo image put together long before a single frame was recorded.

          Reply

          • I have not closed my mind. IF I decide to see it i’ll be completely fair and objective and rate it as appropriate. I have not made my mind up it doesn’t look good to me at this time so i don’t plan on seeing it. Isn’t it better to not see a movie then to do what you’re accusing me off and see a movie just to hate on it. One great trailer might convince me but i’m not some drooling fanboy whose going to drive to the theatre due to some sense of duty to see something made for fans.

            And most people would call me a movie reviewer, seeing how i review movies.

          • What you’re reviewing right now – is an image. One official image. And while it’s more than acceptable to have concerns – to say that the actress is not a good fit – based on a single image – having seen not even a single frame of the film itself – is far from a fair review.

            Especially when you yourself have admitted – WW has been drawn that way – with a smaller build – in the comics previously.

            Far better – would be to go into the movie you have no desire to see – watch it – and review it afterwards – based on the merits of the film itself. Rather than to bash a performance – without seeing a frame of footage.

            Review the film when it comes out – that’s what film reviewers do. Reserve judgment till then.

          • I’m not reviewing anything i’m speculating and one image can tell you a lot about a movie.

            And people judge movies before they see them all the time it’s just in this case apparently you can’t have some thoughts before the movie comes out.

            And Superman has been a bull, one artist drawing her skinny doesn’t make it the norm.

            And i haven’t bashed the performance yet because i haven’t seen it yet

          • The title of this article is

            “Gal Gadot: Why she’s not a good fit for Wonder Woman”
            That pretty much says it all. How is that not bashing her? We’re supposed to read this and assume you’re being fair somehow? You’ve already set your mind on it. That’s more than just speculation. That’s a clear and definitive statement and the entire article written is nothing more than personal opinions to back it up. That’s painting it with a pretty heavy hand. Before you’ve even seen it she is already unfit to be WW – and you’re not even going to see it – based on what you said above.

            People can speculate all they want. Most reviewers though – wait till they see a movie before declaring the actor or actress unfit for the role in a big biased article….

          • Is Gal your sponsor or something? Why are you getting into a 50 page argument over her? Calm down, it’s just a movie. Lol

        • With the price of tickets being as high as they are, I am not going to blow money just hoping this film will work out, especially given what I’ve seen thus far. I’ll wait for feedback from people I personally know and trust who don’t have ulterior motives for recommending a POS (I’ve been burned too any times by critics with an agenda).

      • It’s idiotic to judge any person’s acting based on 1. limited work 2. early work. Many actors have proven to be much better than they were initially given credit.

        You aren’t even judging her on a lead role. Therefore, you = hater/troll/idiot.

    • You don’t have to see the movie to know she isn’t the right fit. I am so sick of people say “wait to you see the movie”. She first has to look believable. She looks no where near believable as WW. If you take the picture of her dressed as “wonder woman” to people who has never seen it or was told who it was supposed to be NO ONE would say WW. Would you cast Pee Wee Herman as Hulk? No you wouldn’t . Because it is far from believable. She was supposed to bulk up. She still looks sickly thin. She is far from “as beautiful as Aphrodite”. She looks like a 14 year old boy playing dress up. So you tell me what script is going to make me believe that she could possibly portray a believable WW when she looks like that. Based on her previous acting ( not just FF) she can’t act. Her accent is atrocious. Their casting call should have been for a tall BLUE EYED statuesque athletic girl. But instead we get Olive Oil. Nothing about the costume says WW either. It really is pathetic and sad that the world’s greatest heroine is being portrayed this way.

      • The costume rocks. You can argue all you want about the desaturation of color caused by the filter they used for the photo, but the costume looks great…lasso, bracelets, the WW on the waist and chest, the tiara…and it also looks like something from ancient Greece as well, which is appropriate.

        And in that costume, her body looks fine. Her measurements are nearly identical to Jamie Alexander (Sif from Thor) and Sif looks great in action.

        Having said all that, do not go see the film. You hate this project and even if the movie is good I’m fairly confident that your commitment to your opinion will prevent you from acknowledging that and gleaning any pleasure…

        Reply

        • Like I said earlier, take this pic of her and show it to people who hasn’t seen it before. No one will say WW . They will probably say Xena. I don’t care about Jamie Alexander as Sif. We are talking about WW and she has muscles and a statuesque figure. She has a discription. Sift doesn’t at least not listed anywhere. Stupid argument and comparison. This is WW’s first time on the big screen. She should be portrayed by a woman worthy of the role. They found Lynda Carter back in the day. If they would have taken the time they could have found the right one the part. But instead we get a contrived version of her.

          • well i mean they did cast heath ledger as the joker, but sure you can keep judging casting….

            also, you’re problem with her not being an idealized drawing is kinda
            hilarious. The movie calls Wonder woman, not some girl that looks like
            her on the outside. The attention you pay to “BLUE EYES” is also
            ridiculous because her looks do absolutely nothing to contribute to
            Wonder Woman’s character. You want a woman “worthy of the role”. To me that means a woman who embodies Diana’s fight and power and everything that actually makes her her. Not a girl they pick up off the street who bears a passing resemblence to her.
            You don’t seem to actually care about the portrayal of wonder woman at all.

            (also i’m really confused about the Lynda Carter part because she wasn’t “bulked up” like you want Gal to be? She literally just had the black hair and blue eyes? And Sif has a description? It’s called the comic. She is literally in it.)

          • I was comparing how they were dark horse castings. No one thought that “pretty boy” Heath Ledger would be a good Joker, like how you think that Gal Gadot will be a bad wonder woman. But since you obviously only took the first sentence as important, I guess you can’t really be bothered.

          • Of course it. But Gal has only really been in one movie and it’s kind if hard to judge how good someone is based on only one sample. The point I’m making is how people judging the casting based on how she looks/acts and are saying that the movie is going to be terrible based on this. Just like they did when Heath was casted.

          • lol her one movie role was non speaking. wandering around in an evening gown? seriously. come on.

          • She was also in the Criminal with Ryan Reynolds, she had a small role in penny dreadful that she was not credited for and her acting was still terrible. I seen Wonder Woman and her accent is atrocious, but then again she was picked for her looks because before she appeared in FF she was a model. Zack Snyder picks people by their looks not their ability to act. Every time I saw a scene with Gal talking my ears kept twitch because her accent is too wicked to understand at times. I did enjoyed Connie Neilsen performance along with Chris Pine, but this movie had too many CGI scene and the slow motions were too annoying.

          • Plus, the Joker isn’t a fighter or a warrior. You never see the Rock as the Joker. It would look dumb. Heck let’s get Benedict Cumberbatch to play Shazam. Russel Brant would kill as the Hercules. We can get the actress who played Dom’s sister in Fast and Furious to play Power Girls…

          • If you would pick up a comic book back when Lynda was portraying WW she looked just like the character back then. WW has evolved into this ripped muscular power house.Gal looks nothing like how she is being portrayed now. It should be the entire picture not just concept of her. She has to look believable and has to have Diana’s compassion.
            How can you be so sure that Gal is going to embody WW. You make an argument like you have already seen the movie.
            It makes me laugh when people use the comparison of Heath Ledger. He was hidden behind a mask of make up. You can’t compare the two. Plus we are talking about WW. I could care less about the Joker.
            I have followed this character probably longer than you have been alive. Look at the history of WW. You will never find an image of her that looks like a 14 year old boy. Educate yourself.

          • I’m super confused where your coming from calling her a 14 year old boy. If its because her boobs are smaller than your ideal version of her you have problems. Shes literally 5’10, much taller than the average woman let alone 14 year old boy.
            And since you follow her, you should pick up the sensation wonder woman. There are two or three different artist in each issue. You might learn wonder woman is a person and her personality is what makes her that person.not her looks.

          • No it’s not her boobs. I have seen 14 year old boys who were 6’2. So bad comparison. She is straight up and down. WW is described as statuesque. That doesn’t mean Big boobs it mean perfectly proportionate. I know she has been drawn by many different artists. But again it isn’t just her personality as I said earlier. It has to be the entire picture. Again would you cast Pee Wee Herman as the Hulk because he embraced the Hulks personality. No because he looks no where near like the Hulk. It would have to be the entire picture.
            Please think about your argument before you post it.

          • Wow man I don’t know what world your living in when 14 year olds are on average 6’2( but on this one its around 5 feet) but I’m sure it’s the same world wherewhere the woman who is the perfect super woman exists.

            Statuesque is defined as tall and dignified. She looks pretty damn dignified to me. Statuesque does not mean the artificial version you grew up fantasizing and having wet dreams about.

            Also, please don’t act like Gal is as far away from WW as Pee Wee is from the Hulk. Its ridiculous that you even make that comparison and is why everyone is ignoring it. Because no, no one would cast him as the hulk, but professionals did cast her and that actually says something.

          • You really are ignorant aren’t you. I said I have seen some 14 year olds that are 6’2 not all of them. Statuesque also means well proportioned, massive and regal. Gal sure doesn’t look like any of that to me. Pick up a dictionary and read the entire definition. Not just what the computer gives you. No I never had wet dreams about WW. Steve Trevor maybe but never WW. So bad call on that. It is a very good comparison between her and Pee Wee. That’s why no one but you has commented on it. You just wanted something out there in the wind. Well swing and miss on your part. Professionals have messed up before in casting so that isn’t saying much either

          • I dont know what your looking at but Gal seems like a good fit to me. She looks like Wonder Woman I grew up loving. maybe you should read her current comic or watch her in the Justice League animated series. She isn’t butch. Linda Carter was skinnier than Gal the only difference being that she had bigger breasts. Jaimie Alexander was basically a fancast for Wonder Woman and she literally has the same body type as Gal. Gal looks fine and doesnt look like a 14 year old boy. Exaggerate much?

          • First of all Lynda Carter’ s (that’s with a y) measurements at the time she played Wonder Woman was 36-25-35 Gal’s measurements are 32-24-33. Lynda is much thicker than Gal. So are her legs and arms. Actually Gina Carano was the fan cast for WW who has a much more muscular build. Jamie is 2 inches thicker top and hips than Gal and on a woman that makes a big difference. You should educate yourself before posting. Sound stupid much?

          • When I was comparing Gal to Lynda I was talking about their arms. Google a picture of Lynda Carter’s promo pics of Wonder Woman and her arms are clearly skinnier than Gal in her current photo. Again the only difference being the size of their bust and waist but Gal obviously can’t change that because her body type doesn’t allow her to. And finally I suggest you read comic books, especially her most recent runs, Gal looks like Diana to me.

          • Read your own post you were comparing Lynda To Gal. And Lynda looks a lot more toned than Gal. I don’t have to google anything I grew up with the poster on my wall. I don’t know what comic books you are looking at but Gal looks nothing like Diana. You show me a picture of WW with mud brown eyes, thinning hair and a figure like a pencil. You won’t find it. Your eyes are playing tricks on you. Anyway it doesn’t matter. Lynda will always be remembered as WW. Gal will be the girl who played her once. Like George Clooney, Val Kilmer, and Michael Keeton as Batman. No on really remembers them they only remember Adam West.

          • Lynda Carter was perfection and there will never be a compairison. Carter rules and that’s all.

          • Youre in denial. The wonder woman you grew up loving myst be more like a toothpick aculpture with wrist cuffs and a lasso cuz this girl is not up to par with the real ww.

          • “You’re in denial” -Says the person who can’t accept the fact that Gal Gadot has been cast as Wondy. Real Wonder Woman you say? She is a fictional character and there are various interpretations of her. The ones I grew up watching were in the animated series and movies. In those depictions, she was depicted as a slender and athletic woman. In no way was she the muscular monger you seem to imply her to be. Ever watch Justice League Unlimited? I admit I never watched the seventies show of Wondy with Lynda Carter but she was no more thicker than Gal Gadot. Google a picture of her and you can see that her arms are way more skinnier than Gal’s. The only overt difference between them is that Lynda Carter has bigger breasts. I’m a big fan of Wonder Woman and I have been reading her comics for years. Some artists do sometimes depict her as more muscular than usual but more often than not, she looks like Gal Gadot. So I know my shit thank you very much and I’m very accepting of Gal as Diana. So don’t tell me I’m in denial when you are the the one who clearly is. Good day to you. *Ignore the fact that the original post was a month ago I just saw this now and I just thought someone needed to put you in your place 🙂

          • specify on whos been put in their place sweetheart because surely its not me. youre wrong about lynda and youre wrong about gal. and this movie will suck ass because shes too skinny. point. blank. period. you dear, are fucking delusional and totally in Denial about the casting choice because youre one of the obviously non commited movie goers who fails to understand the importance of correctness of casting in roles as iconic as this. “Wondy” is supposed to look a certain way and if you cant accept that then yes, your dumb ass is in denial. so good day to You. *i actually dont give a fuck about your day as i feel like youre a stupid piece of shit whos not worthy of good days.

          • The looks are consistent which justifies peoples expextations. You wouldnt want a bony ass superman so why do we have to be ok with a bony ass wonder woman. Height isnt enough to fix this flop

          • Both are important. I dont need her to have large breast (thats just silly). However, she doesn’t have what Lucy Lawless had in the 90s as Zena, that intimidation factor and that physicality.

            Shes also not a very good actor. Im just suspicious of how she really go the part.

          • Zack Snyder picked her for her looks and nothing else, it the same reason why she was picked for FF and the Criminal because of her looks. A lot of people know she cannot act, but people like Snyder don’t care they find her attractive so she gets the part automatic.

          • and you make judgments on whether she can embody WW as if you’ve seen the movie without giving Gadot the benefit of the doubt.
            And, oh, yes, the wonderful “I am going to say that I am a better/longer fan in order to make it seem like what I am saying is more valid.” i was wondering when you were going to try something like that. All I have to say is that If you really followed WW for as long as you say, the actresses looks shouldn’t matter to you. At all. All you should care about is that the actress who portrays her captures her essence. But instead you seem hyperfocused on the looks because you probably project who you believe is the perfect woman onto WW, rather than what she would realistically look like.
            And if wonder woman were actually real? She would probably be even more disgusted with you then I am. But, you know that, because you read the comics, right?

          • Again it has to be the entire picture looks and personality. To make it believable it has to be both. There is a definite description of Wonder Woman. So how the actress looks is just as important as her acting ability. Why can’t you see that. But these days I guess it doesn’t matter in movies any more. Hell there isn’t story lines any more. There is just a bunch of blowing things up and crashing into things. So enjoy your skinny no talent actress as the worlds greatest heroine. I could care less

          • It’s become glaringly obvious that you will never realize what an utter ass you are, so I’m going to just stop replying. You obviously have some issues you need to work out regarding how real women look, as well as what it really means to be wonder woman. So, I’m going to leave you to wallow in your sad little world and am going to enjoy that a WW movie is happening and give it a shot. I recommend that everyone else who has bothered talking to this delusional dick do the same.

          • You can’t make a valid argument so you start calling me names. There ya go that makes you look like the bigger person. Oh and telling others not to respond is a classic playground move. Don’t talk to him because I’m not. You are just showing that you have a lot of growing up to do. You can’t win an argument so you pout and suggest everyone else do the same.

          • Youre just mad because people dont want some skinny bitch with barely any acting experience on the big screen to represent other skinny bitches.

          • This day and age is comic book fans vs. hipsters who are along the bandwagon ride. Unfortunately there are a lot of people like H.D who don’t really care for the history of the character as long the movie is out and successful. Appreciation for the source of the comics have died a long time ago in this day and age. That why some of us stated that legends like Jack Kirby are rolling in their graves because of Hollywood quick pay scheme when it comes to superheroes movies.

          • Best comment of the day. Kirby would be steaming about Lee taking most of the credit from him and Ditko as will.

          • Again I seen the movie and as a fan of the comic Gal failed to capture her essence.

          • Its not about her being ripped. Its everything about the character that does not fit with Gals persona. WW was an amazonian warrior. She has been depicted in many ways…but the prevailing, definitive version is of a tall, leggy, black-haired, greek, buff woman, sizable upper arms (sometimes defined) and the intimidation of a spartan.Shes an alpha-female.

            If the male character such as superman, batman, and thor have teh alpha-male look (buff bods). Its only fair that she lives up to the same standards. But lets be real…she lives up to the Hollywood standards just fine. Stick think is still IN !

            I just dont see Gal as WW…sorry !

          • Anyone who makes the Xena comparison doesn’t read comics or knows much about WW. The only thing really different is her skirt but that has existed in comics for DECADES.

        • Ooh someone trying to shove their opinion down everyone’s throat. Look. Not everyone’s gonna agree that her costume is great or that the choice was a good one so just deal with it.

          You want my two cents since you gave yours? I for one am tired of them trying to go for the “dark and bleak” bs. For crying out loud where did the stars go? Did some cosplayer just decide to submit this in and won? And don’t even get me started on how this lucky fan submission was greatly inspired by Xena. And god her acting. I’ve seen her in Fast and all I can say is I’m glad they killed off her character. I may watch more movies of her when I have the time.

          Before you call me a hater and all that bs, let me tell you I will watch it. And no, I’m not gonna have some bias hatred towards it. I’ll be fair IF Gadot’s performance will blow me away. But I highly doubt that given what we’ve seen so far. So when critics note Gadot’s less then great acting, I’ll be there saying “I know it” to half my friends.

            Judging an actor’s skills on one movie that isn’t even a lead role or challenging is similarly dumb.

        • Yes the costume looks great. Her dimensions do not. Shes too damn skinny. She doesnt even look athletic. She looks like a teenage girl

      • Thank you Kevin. Sense has been spoken. I don’t understand why on earth Warner Bros. wants to give us everything except Wonder Woman. Agree on all points. Who needs to see the movie to know this girl is no Wonder Woman. I am sick of hearing wait and see or worse get over it. I have been a Wonder Woman fan since childhood and I find it all heartbreaking and outraging that this is how the iconic character that I grew up with is being handed to us. Not happy about this treatment of Wonder Woman who may I remind people has been around since 1941. DC and Warner should be ashamed! That’s what happens when fools take over DC Comics.

      • Very well said. From the very first moment I saw that photo, I thought “Xena” (which is a compliment all in it self), but not Wonder Woman. Not at all. I don’t plan on seeing the film (DC movies in general are the issue, not this odd casting choice), but I do hope she proves everyone wrong, including me. Good luck to her.

    • Why in the world would people wait to see her act this role before exercising an opinion? She’s playing an iconic character. One with a slew of history, an image type, and a cherished figure to millions. To sit like sheep until it comes out and not chime in on ideas and reflections would be nice, in a “eat your brussel sprouts” sort of way, but while you’re entitled to your own opinion…don’t deride the man for expressing his. He has been respectful. Insightful. And, if you’ve ever stepped into a comic book store and heard some of the heated discussions there, a characteristic fan of the genre.

But not for a warrior princess that can beat the shit out of men more than twice her size. The whole casting is ridiculous!

    • Preaches about goverment and peace then calls Gal a “Bitch”… I saw where you were going with this but you lost my respect once you called Gal out of her name. Stooping down the the level of hate and immaturity isn’t the right path to continue on. Who knows, the information you got about Gal speaking of Palastanians could be a rumor, or just gossip. I usually could care less about her views, because her life is her life, until it effects mines or yours, that’s when it should be a problem. Is her comment going to cause even more problems for the world? Will her comment be the start of WWiii? I don’t think so, which means it’s a bit irrelevant to even hold that against her.

  3. about her muscles, i feel like they have her working out a lot but not eat the type of food that would let her bulk up like the guys, because obviously we can’t have a woman on screen that doesn’t have the body of a 12 years old.
    Also not here with her supporting the Palestinian genocide but her government has brainwashed her to believe this is the right thing to do, hopefully she’ll get educated on the subject. I can only hope.

    Reply

  4. I agree. She’s neither a proven acting talent nor has the kind of physique one would expect for this character, so unless she made a fantastic impression during her casting, (and it’s possible she did, who knows ?) the impression that get out of this is that she was chosen only to fill a politically correct quota.

    Her physique is a strange choice, because she has to go trough a hell of a training and still will get low result compared to another build. (she’s pure ectomorph, muscles are hard to grow, they are usually lean and disappear fast.) It’s not fair for her to be expected to look like an amazon, especially while playing alongside muscle mountains like her co-stars, and if they really wanted to take her they should have put her into another role.

    Her acting skills I haven’t seen much, maybe she just never got her chance to show how good she is, who knows, but she clearly wasn’t chosen for her acting resume.

    So, the reason that seem to stand out, is this one:
    1: They chose a non white and non blond Aquaman,
    2: they upgraded black Cyborg to Justice League instead of sidekick,
    3: they chose a gay actor to play Flash
    4: the rumors say they want to cast a latina woman to play green lantern.
    5: They chose an Isreali for Wonder Woman
    And you expect us to think that the fact they chose an israeli girl is not a political choice ? The only way they could beat us more with their PC Statement is by using a baseball bat.

    But wanting to make a more worldly open Justice League doesn’t bother me, I think it’s even a good idea, because the Justice League is supposed to represent Justice all over the planet, not just the USA. What I’m concerned about, is how they do it. Politically Correct should not come before quality, because if they fail, if they suck, it will be entirely blamed on the various community and politically correct movement in general rather than on poor scenario, acting and alchemy.

    Take Aquaman, for example, nothing in his historic forme him to be white. However, being blond was at the root of who he is, it’s a story about being ostrascized for being different, is a pro PC story, that will be tossed aside because they made him dark haired. (unless they make all the atlantean blond?)

    In short, PC should be handled with class, like for Falcon in Cap 2. That a guy I want to see more.

    Reply

      • 1. They chose a native Hawaiian with a degree in marine biology to play aquaman. This makes much more sense then a white actor with no connection to the role.
        2. Cyborg was never a sidekick and is currently one of the original seven members of the Justice League.
        3. The fact that he is gay is in no way the reason he was hired. If you watch his previous work you would see that he is actually a good fit for the role.
        4. It’s a rumor? Also, anyone can be a green lantern if they are picked. There’s nothing to say that a latina woman couldn’t be a green lantern.
        5. Gal Gadot being Israeli will not make her a bad wonder woman. In fact, the fact that she has actually seen battle will probably enhance her performance.

        It it ridiculous that think what makes someone who they are is rooted in their looks. They could all be amazing for their roles and you would still complain that they aren’t white because a comic book that came out in 1940’s didn’t choose to make their protagonists white.

        • Gal Gadot has never seen battle. She went thru basic training required by the government and then had a desk job

          Reply

          • Even if that’s true, she still has trained which is more than you can say for most actresses today.

          • Not true. Basic training is 6 to 8 weeks. Many actors and actresses training for at least 6 months for the role. Especially when they have to gain mass. Gal has been training for a while now and hasn’t gained any mass. Just because she went thru basic training does not make her any more qualified than any body else

          • ok, but that kind of training is in a one-on-one gym environment. Basic Training is a lot different. I’m saying that it givers her different experience to pull from. And I think she looks pretty close to how most of the women who have been in the army look. Or at least the ones I know.

          • If you have been following her training she has been doing all kinds of martial arts and sword fight and hand to hand combat. It really doesn’t matter most of her moves will be enhanced with special effects. It will all be contrived like her image

          • Well most actresses today are good actresses whichh is more than i can say for gal

  5. The comic book movie characters need to be true to the comic book characters to do it right. Can you imagine a skinny Superman or a 5 foot tall Batman? Of course not, it’s ridiculous. Wonder Woman needs to look like Wonder Woman, not a a cute skinny model. Gal Gadot does not scare anybody. How do you expect Superman and Batman to take her seriously? She could not rescue a kitty out of a tree. Very bad casting.

      • So she should look like she has an eating disorder like Gal? WW is ripped in the comic and that’s how they should portray her

        Reply

        • Have you ever seen someone who has an eating disorder? It doesn’t seem like you have. You also shouldn’t say things like that. Its rude and disrespectful. As many people have pointed out, actors and actresses do not need to look like the source material. Its also really hard to get as “ripped” as you seem to need her to be, especially for women. You’re expectations are unrealistic.

          Reply

          • Yes I have seen people with an eating disorder and COMPARED to WW Gal looks like she has one. It isn’t hard for women to get the muscular definition needed to portray WW. They just have to work out and eat correctly. And yes the person portraying a comic book character should look like the source material. That is what makes the character believable and recognizable.

          • But, do you see why it’s wrong to belittle other peoples disorders by flagrantly throwing the term around? Because it doesn’t seem like you do. Yes it is hard to get that kind of definition. This is why most women do not have it. What makes a character believable is if they act like the character. Not how they look. Its how you can always tell in a comic if someone is a shapeshifter or something. Because of the mannerisms, not how they act. Another example would be James Bond. Even if they switch the actor, you can still tell it’s him.

          • OMG you are so wrong!!! It is a combination of looks and acting ability that makes the person believable. Why is it so hard for people to understand that. This girl has neither the looks or the acting ability. With James Bond there isn’t a set written description of him with WW there is. I wasn’t belittling anyone. I was making a blatant comparison. Compared to the image of WW this girl looks sickly. Sorry if that upsets you. But we are forced to settle for this half assed portrayal. I’m just saying what others are thinking.

          • Most women ‘do not have it’ because they do not Want it. A large portion of those that do, generally focus on lower body and core…rather similar to all the guys that skip leg day because they just want core and upper body. Also they are even more likely to stick solely to low or no impact exercises and cardio rather than actually lifting weights and exercises that would build up muscle.

            As far as how they act over how they look – A mention was made as to why it’s ok to expect men to be bulky to play their male hero roles, but asking a female to at least have biceps bigger than the average person’s wrist is unreasonable. Again, however, many have still said that maybe she blew them away on the audition and that all we have to judge her on currently is the garbage from F&F. Other ‘shaky’ castings that have been discussed in recent years can at least say we knew that the actors were talented in their craft to some degree prior to the role. Here we don’t have that or even a glimmer of it.

            For me I think of it like this – you wouldn’t cast an actor built like the CGI Chris Evans ‘pre-serum’ Steve to be Captain America anymore than you would cast Stanley Tucci to be Superman. No one would let Hercules get off with being a toothpick either…yet because it’s a female we just aren’t supposed to mention that it doesn’t look to fit? He’s the son of Zeus just as she is (currently) the daughter of Zeus…The same justifications for ‘not needing’ to be any particular thing could be made for him just the same as her, yet I can guarantee Herc will always have someone more like ‘The Rock’ playing him than DJ Qualls.

      • Nobody said she needs to look like terry crews. She needs to be muscular though because if you really knew what you were talking about youd know that she like the rest of the amazonians are muscular due to their training and lifestyle. Even spiderman had muscle tone and yes. Spidey also has super strength

  6. The picture of her in costume looks great. Not seeing the problem here. And look up Jamie Alexander’s physical stats…she is Sif in Thor. They are nearly identical to Gal Gadot and she looks great in costume. It’s sad, though, at this point because so many folks have an investment in this project failing because they have griped so much about it and will not want to be proven wrong. So even if the film is great and Gal looks good they will still complain so they won’t have to acknowledge they are wrong.

    Reply

    • Why do you keep comparing WW to Sif. They are 2 totally different characters. Sif wishes she was WW . It doesn’t matter in any way shape or form that gal and Jamie have the same measurements. Big Deal. We are talking about WW and only WW . Wonder Woman is the greatest female super hero ever. Go out and ask any body they know who she is. Ask people who Sif is and hardly any would know. They might even think it is a social disease.

  7. First off, why does the article say it was written by someone named Gary Collinson at the top, but the biline and credit at the bottom say it is by someone named Anthony Stokes?
    As for the topic of the article, while whoever the author is does make some very good points about casting and such in general, in this instance, it just comes off as just complaining for the sake for it. Until we see some actual footage and get a true sense of how Gadot will protray Wonder Woman, I think we should just give her a chance.

    Reply

  8. first, you cannot criticize Michael B Jordan because of his race. Thjat is literally the stupidest thing and at no point is it ok in anyway. Second, the determination that you apparently have for the casting to be exactly the same is unrealistic and unrelevant to how the film will perform. Did you criticize when they casted Heath Ledger? Because his looks had lierally nothing to do with his outstanding interpretation of the Joker. Sticking adherely to canon will only make sloppy, overdone movies in the long run. Wait until you see her interpertation of Wonder Woman on the big screen before you pass judgement.
    Also, the reason Thor is big and muscular even if he doesn’t have to be is because it fits his character. Thor, as an egotistical prince set on being king, worked for his physique in order to be the most dominant person when he walks into the room, as well as settle his own ego. Diana, on the other hand, has no need to do this so she doesn’t.
    And you really shouldn’t judge actresses or actors based on their previous roles, especially a relatively new one like Gal Gadot. And you’ve only seen her in role, so you really shouldn’t be talking. The only thing Chris Hemsworth had done before Thor was background characters and people on shows like the Saddle Club. Unknowns being cast are way more exciting then established actors like Angelina Jolie because you know exactly what to expect.
    I, for one, am much more willing to wait and see the movie before I pass judgement on how an actress will portray one of my favorite comic book character.

    • The whole turn Johnny into a black character or turn any white character black (typically, I mean what about Latino’s and Asians, I guess they’re outta the question) is honestly just kinda lazy. Why not make your own black or ethnic superhero instead? By making white superheroes (who could blame them, half of them were made in the 40s-60s), you’re not only making them a token so the racist card is pulled out, you do know that they’ll be portraying the mythos and role of characters who has been white for god knows how long? And then throwing it down the drain. Just saying.

      And at least Ledger’s acting ability isn’t in question. Given what we’ve seen so far from Gadot, she’s awful until proven otherwise, or good until proven otherwise.

      The movie I’m sure may flop is Wonder Woman and Cyborg. Even though Cyborg’s getting a comic, what do they really have to build on? I’m also not so sure Cyborg actor could even hold his own, but who knows.

      As for Wonder Woman, I’ll be there with an expression just like Strife’s face was when Zeus reclaimed his thrown (it happened in the end of Azz’s WW run). Basically, she said out loud “I knew it”. When the critics pan Gadot for her acting. As for the script, it might be good given who they have to handle it, but if the acting (cough Gadots cough) isn’t enough to hold it down.. well long story short, I just can’t see her holding her own. I’m glad they killed off her Fast character.

  16. Literally only takes a quick Google image search to see that MULTIPLE popular iterations of the character on TV (live and animated) and in comics had a physique absolutely similar to Gadot’s. So why this even continues to be brought up in conversations about her casting is beyond me.

    Reply

  17. “If we can criticize Michael B. Jordan for being cast as Johnny Storm due to his race.” You can criticize anything that you want, but there has been backlash for people that try and hate the movie from just that casting standpoint. People are actually mad that she isn’t American, even though Diana is not American herself. The hateful things said in comments sections and “articles” aren’t immune from criticism either. If you type something, don’t be so shocked when someone replies.

    “I’ve seen skinny Wonder Woman sure, but typically my idea of Wonder Woman is of a traditionally thicker build. Now, again this is not everyone’s vision of Wonder Woman, so I can understand people not minding her being a bit slimmer.” Okay, you said it yourself, the slimmer version exists in the canon. End of story. She’s not your idea of WW, but she is that of the film makers. She is the idea of WW for WB and DC. People are just sick of hearing the same thing. Their point has been made after months and months, but a lot of people are trying to say she is not good enough because of her breast size. No one ever says, “Henry Cavill doesn’t have a big enough bulge to play Superman.” No one says, “Chris Hemsworth should get plastic surgery so that his dick is bigger in his costume.” People are not just complaining about her muscle mass when they pick apart her body.

    Okay, so your whole post just negated itself by responding to your, “Why she’s not a good fit for Wonder Woman” with: “Only time will tell if this is good casting or not. I didn’t see the audition tapes so maybe there is something Gal is bringing to the table other than diversity.” Wonder Woman is what brings diversity, not Gal. Wonder Woman is not an average white American. Wonder Woman is also the only female in the Justice League lineup currently. Wonder Woman also has ties to Olympic deities. Gal wasn’t cast just for diversities sake, but to actually stick closer to the actual mythos. She tested with Ben Affleck, so that’s a plus on the casting process. Gal has also landed roles in films that she has just wrapped with big Hollywood names known for their talent.

    All I took from this article was that we should wait and see to judge her, but it was laced with a lot of judgement just because she is not your ideal.

  18. No matter how anyone feels, Gal has been cast. There is nothing anyone can do about it at this point. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But in the end does it really matter. This isn’t something that is going to change the world. It is a movie. Nothing more. Pure entertainment. Being passionate about your opinion is great but when start calling other people names and belittling their point view it becomes juvenile. When you take these thing personal that’s when there is issues. Stop and look at the reality of it all. Yes you may love or hate the casting but is it really going to change anything. What difference is it going to make.

  19. Lol to people disagreeing. This guy gave his opinion. You gave yours. but half of you guys give me the impression that you’re just trying to shove your opinion that “Gal is good” and ignoring that not everyone’s gonna ficking agree with this.

    As a girl whose skinny and just about 5’8, I could care less about her build. Most women don’t occasionally sport abs and are around 6’0 tall. So let her do what she wants. Also, since when was it a norm for WW to be drawn like a body builder? Looking at her in the Pre Crisis and Perez days, she had some muscular undertones while retaining a slender figure. Looking at how she was drawn by Cliff. Even in say the DCAU she looked like a skinny twig to me.

    That aside. I can see the good in her. For one thing she has the body of a 15 year old boy and considering how the Finches draw her to look like a teenager then we have ourselves a spitting image for WW! Also, her bad acting skills could be used for leverage here. Half the time you see Diana, she feels alien given how different man’s world is from her world. She even speaks a different native tongue. So Gadot’s sub par acting skills could be used to show the world that WW is still getting use to this world. And the fact that Gadot acts like she can’t act her way out of a paper bag solidifies this.

  20. Angelina Jolie a good actress? Opinionated and stuck on herself,yes,but I have never seen anything that shows she is a good actress,and GOD is she ugly. Every time she opens that huge mouth I am reminded of a snake unhinging its jaw to swallow an egg.
    I have only seen Gal Gadot in the FF movies and I think she is very pretty,cute and feminine,which is what I like in female actresses. I do not want to look at Arnold Schwarzenegger in drag,she is not playing She Hulk after all.
    I do not thing she got enough screen time in the FF films to be able to show if she is a good actress or not,to be fair, the writing in those films is crap,definitely not Shakespeare. So if she couldn’t overcome bad writing that does not make her a bad actress. I did like her character and was pissed when she died,just as I was pissed when her boyfriend died so she did something right because at least I remember her,and liked her better than the girl that plays Letty. She should have been called Woody because I have seen better emoting from a wooden puppet.
    I mean for Christ sake,i heard some brainchild bad mouth her because her tits are too small. Idiot.
    As for why Chris had to be buff for Thor. The answer is simple,thats the way his character is drawn. Always. Thor is always a muscle bound,long golden haired hammer wielding god of thunder. Nuff said.
    I do not like having the heroes I grew up with changed by Hollyweird just because its P.C.. A black Johnny Storm? Wrong. Nothing to do with race,its just that Johnny Storm was white,like his sister,Sue. There are black heroes,have been since I can remember,Black Panther and Cyborg were always 2 of my favories,so to change a characters race from one to the other just because it is P.C. is messing with history,my history for one,and I hate that. Which is one of the reasons I dont like the new Star Trek movies. If they changed Black Panther into a white guy and everyone would freak,as they should. So why shouldn’t people freak when you change a white character black?
    Off track,I look forward to the JLA movie,even tho’ DC did not put the effort into the back story movies of the characters like Marvel did with the Avengers I think it will definitely be an enjoyable film. To prejudge the actors or the film before it has even been made is stupidity run rampant, which is the definition of critic.
    Nuff said again

  21. Or maybe The Fast and The Furious franchise isn’t a good gauge to determine anyone’s acting ability. I personally don’t think Gal was bad in those movies but she certainly wasn’t any worse (in my opinion) than anyone else in those movies and the majority of them are established actors with much more experience than Gal. Maybe the makers of the FatF franchise just aren’t that concerned with acting. Gal freely admits that she never had the opportunity to show what she’s really capable of in those films. And, rather than race and price, Gal auditioned for this role…maybe she did the best job that convinced these experienced filmmakers that she IS the one to carry this character. Experienced filmmakers, by the way, that do seem to be more concerned with good performances as they are casting the likes of Oscar nominees and winners like Jesse Eisenberg, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams, Lawrence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Holly Hunter, Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner…And they seem to think that she can stand shoulder to shoulder with this caliber of actor. Maybe we should have a little faith.

  24. I think the producers just wanted an actress who looks Greek. Israel has a wider selection of actors and actresses, and further, Gal Gadot was in the IDF, which means she actually has combat training, and presumably martial arts–Israel invented their own.

  25. “It’s got nothing to do with sexism” Right. That’s why nothing will suffice short of having your ideal Wonder Woman figure, and being a great actresss to boot. Plus your comparisons to Thor betray a double standard, as well. You are not calling for a woman with big muscles, just a “thicker build” — i.e., big boobs and a big butt. Like Lynda Carter. Admit you’re a fanboy who likes T&A and be done with it.

  30. This article is almost entirely invalid.

    I understand that you feel like Gal Gadot doesn’t live up to your expectation for Wonder Woman, but I don’t really understand what results you were expecting from her muscle wise. I mean, I can tell from those photos that she had decent muscles… muscles show up differently on woman than men. Depending on her body type, to gain visibly defined muscles, she’d need to reduce her body fat to around 15%, which is hugely difficult for women to do, as our bodies are built to retain much more fat than men’s, and its also a lot harder for us to lose fat as well. And since you have such a problem with her ‘lack’ of muscle, then name an actress with the sort of muscles you’d be expecting (though I can imagine that if a more muscular woman was chosen, just as many people would be complaining that she lacked femininity, and that she wasn’t attractive enough to play Wonder Woman) because there are much fewer female actresses with the kind of muscles a large number of male actors have.

    Also, you seem to think that its ok to criticize Michael B. Jordan’s casing because of his race (which is definitely racist). I know that Johnny Storm is not black in the comic books, but that shouldn’t make a difference when it comes to casting. People seem to have this weird thing with comic book characters being changed, there was a similar outcry when someone suggested Peter Parker be cast as black. When these comic books were initially created, they characters reflected society – to use Peter Parker as an example, when Spiderman first began, there was no one viewed more as an outcast by the main comic book audience than a scrawny, geeky, white boy. However, nowadays, nerd culture has blown up, and you’ll find that not only are there more and more people who aren’t scrawny, geeky, white teenage boys are reading and enjoying everything comic related, but those same teenage boys no longer feel so outcast. This image of Peter Parker loses its vibrancy now that there are less people who can relate to him. In today’s society, it rings much more true that a POC would feel more outcast as a teenager. And that’s what these film adaptations allow, modernization of character tropes so that the audience now can relate better.

    To be honest, the only thing I get from this article is a sense of closed mindedness.

  31. For me they are still screwing me out of a Wonder Woman movie and I do not speak for myself. We are all in the “Say No to the DC reboot” group on Facebook. Nothing against this skinny brown eyed girl who looks nothing at all like Wonder Woman in a costume that lacks color and stars. The actress is attractive and all but she just is not Wonder Woman to me. I mean no disrespect to the actors involved with this movie because they are only hired to do a job. DC Comics and Warner Bros are the real bad guys to these heroes with making them all Batman with a dark gritty tone. Not to mention changing their origins. Many like me, have waited years and I mean bleeping years only to get a generic movie on the way. I’m am tired of hearing just wait and see when I already saw Man of Steel and never once felt like I was watching Superman. The actor was fine but the direction and tone was outraging! For someone who grew up with Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman, Christopher Reeves as Superman in a more kid friendly era of The Super Friends I am not happy with what DC Comics is dishing out. I realize things have to be updated but they do not need to give us new heroes in place of the original heroes. I do not feel in any way that these charactors are even the Justice League members we saw a decade ago in the animated series. New 52, Jim Lee, and everyone else involved at DC Comics has really screwed fans and these chatactors over. The only ones who don’t care are the teenagers and folks who do not know any better. Iconic always wins and I hate to say it but I really do not care if anything good to come from this movie for playing such a prank on longtime fans. But then as we know it they will blame failure of a Wonder Woman movie on her being female, not because they screwed her up with mis handled casting, a messed up rewritten origin, or an ugly costume. Warner Bros. will look over all their mistakes of course. Maybe it will work for this generation, who knows? But I will not be in line on opening day because then I am supporting the New 52 style which I am strongly against. And I am totally with you on Angelina Jolie in the role. Otherwise look the part of Wonder Woman not Xena or Wonder Girl. Lynda Carter will always be who Wonder Woman is IMO. Lynda Carter was the perfect and ideal image of the real Wonder Woman and the way she lives her life mirrors Wonder Woman’s values. Carter didn’t just play the part she was the part which is why I strongly feel she will never be topped.

  32. I was skeptical of Gal’s casting but I’m willing to give her a chance. Judging from F&F, her accent is rather strong – maybe she can convince people it’s Greek or Amazonian? She may end up surprising a lot of people but I heard Wonder Woman isn’t getting a lot of screen time.

  34. Okay, I typically just lurk, but this is a bridge too far.

    The author of this article is right and you damned well know it.

    Some of the apologists for this travesty of casting would be hilarious if I knew they weren’t serious. Using their logic, if I’m understanding correctly, fans should just grovel at the feet of our Hollywood overlords and happily lap up whatever spews from their collective sphincter, bleating like mindless sheeple, with glazed stares and sh*t-stained smiles. No thanks.

    There could be any number of unknown actresses who are better suited to play this role. Much like Daniel Radcliffe for Harry Potter (you gotta admit, he LOOKED like Harry Potter). Why wasn’t there a true open casting call for this roll? Why was there no serious attempt to find THE actress to portray, on the big screen no less, one of THE most iconic female superheroes of all time?

    Here is a general rule of thumb – when there is an established canon, you try to get as close as you can. There have been several comic incarnations of Wonder Woman, some larger, some smaller, but they ALL share the same physical archetype regardless of size. This woman has NONE of the attributes – NONE. I just had to crack up at those who keep trying to justify this. Would you have been so accepting of a male model as Thor if he were equally as skinny and undeveloped? Doubt it sincerely.

    And speaking of physicality, yes, a body can change, but you can only sculpt the clay that is there. You cannot build a size or shape for which you do not have the genetics. Take for example Chris Pratt. He got into amazing shape for GOTG, but he already had the physical markers to do so. Hugh Jackman get jacked for Wolverine. And Chris Hemsworth is believable as Thor.

    Wonder Woman is an Amazonian Princess. She has to be believable as someone who can whoop a man’s ass, and hang with Superman – to be respected as a warrior among other warriros. I’m sorry, but someone who can hoola-hoop in a Cheerio just doesn’t cut it. This is frankly insulting to fans, and to actresses who really could have pulled this roll off.

    And this crap about “unorthodox casting” just needs to stop. Look, when you cast someone against (arche)type, there is usually a very good reason to do so. Michael Keaton as Batman (1989) was unorthodox casting. HOWEVER, the man came with proven talent, a body of work, and a director who could pull it off. He MADE you want to give it a chance, and I’m glad I did. You could even argue that Keaton was only against physical type, the Bruce Wayne/Batman mannerisms and psychology were very much in line with the canon character. In essence, he captured the “spirit” of Batman though without the imposing physical presence.

    Similarly, Heath Ledger as Joker is another example. But again, you’re dealing with proven talent (albeit sadly abbreviated). You CANNOT believably argue that Gal Gadot has done anything to exactly inspire confidence. So, what HAS she done in cinema or television that gives one any indication that she has the ability and strength to pull off a character of this magnitude. Please cite REAL examples – and sorry, “Fast and Furious” doesn’t cut it.

    Tell you what… everyone castigating those of us who disagree, I’ll make you a deal. I’ll accept Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, if you accept Kevin James as the Flash… deal?

  39. Wonder Woman’s strongest defining characteristics are her sense of presence and her piercing blue eyes. Her body shape and musculature are far more flexible (and have been over the course of her history) and there’s no getting around the fact that Gadot lacks both of those crucial attributes. She’d have made a fantastic Hawkgirl, but she ain’t no Wonder Woman.

    Reply

  40. I think think she can get pretty muscular in these coming years. I mean filming for Justice League isn’t for a while yet, and we haven’t seen any recent pics of her so she might also be pretty big for Batman v Super Man. As for her acting, I’ve been surprised time and again by unknown actors being really good, so I’m not too worried.

  41. If Gadot doesn’t work out, then Wonder Woman should just be a CG character. That way, they get the look right.

  43. There is absolutely nothing to indicate that Gal Gadot has earned the right to play Wonder Woman due to her acting skills (or lack thereof, if you’ve ever actually seen her in anything) nor is she anything even similar to the character type. There are numerous women more talented and qualified who have earned their place as an important and recurring character – Christian Bale and Ben Affleck come to mind in the casting of Batman/Bruce Wayne. It is ridiculous that Chris Pine will be Gal Gadot’s supporting character in a super hero movie. The better question to ask is why was Gadot handed this role, overlooking dozens of actresses more qualified and talented?

  45. I’m inclined to agree. Yes, Wonder Woman does not receive her strength from the gym, but rather from her demi-goddess status. But, equally Superman does not receive his strength from the gym, but from Earth’s yellow sun. Henry Cavill is bulging with muscles I didn’t even know existed, yet Gal Gadot has barely discernable muscle tone in her arms and legs. She certainly hasn’t developed a physique to rival Emily Blunt in Edge of Tomorrow, Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2, Jennifer Garner in Alias and Elektra, etc.
    Still, I’m hopeful that her acting will win me over and that, as she concentrates more on acting and less on modelling, she will continue to build and sculpt her body to meet the feminine ideal for the role of Wonder Woman.

  46. she lacks Wonder Woman’s femininity in the way Lynda Carter had it. Gal Gadot is too androgynous & ethnic looking. Wonder Woman is meant to be of Amazonian Greek ancestry according to the cartoon, so that still makes her Caucasian. I still think Gal Gadot is attractive in a Famke Jensen way, but not suitable as Wonder Woman. Too messy. More like a wild wrestler.

  49. The sad, sad, sad thing about Warner-DC stuff the last 20+ years is their penchant for terrible miscasting. From the time they put George Clooney in the Batsuit, they lost all my respect for casting. With Christian Bale as Batman, no one minded because Bale had an impressive portfolio of roles which he aced, so there wasn’t much to dissent against. So they’ve continued to maintain their reputation for poor casting with Wonder Woman. Gina Carano would have made the perfect WW but the geniuses of Warner-DC have again missed the point. What I love about DC/Vertigo Comics as opposed to Marvel is their ultra-dark characters. Preacher, Constantine, Batman, Arrow, Joker, Ras’ Al Ghul, Black Canary….there are some dark, dark characters in there but somehow they’ve never been able to build that darkness onscreen. Marvel on the other hand has really been able to nail their characters on and offscreen in every franchise they developed and created the past few years on film and TV. With DC – you just have to stick to their comics.

I think Gal Gadot has the height and the beauty, but she should have bulked up more. It is NOT unreasonable to expect her to look more like the traditional image of Wonder Woman. When you look at the trinity together…Superman clearly looks like Superman…Batman clearly looks like Batman…Gal Gadot looks great, but not exactly like Wonder Woman. It is obvious they changed Wonder Woman’s look the most. I actually like the new costume but I would like to see her with “black” hair – NOT brown, and another 10 pounds of muscle. The pic of her in the article above is NOT a good one..she actually does look bigger than that now – Thank God! But I still don’t think she has gained enough weight or muscle mass.

  55. I agree… Gal Gadot is no Wonder Woman! Wonder Woman is an super icon and they should have been more picky for the role. Wonder Woman is Greek mythology and there are Greek’s known for their dark hair and blue violet eyes. I know because I have Greek family members with these colorings. Also, Wonder Woman is an Amazon woman and the woman to play the part should have they body to match. Gal Gadot looks like a twiggy model. Well, I think Gal is very pretty, she is no Wonder Woman and should be in a James Bond movie instead. I watched the Batman vs Superman movie and was is excited with Wonder Woman’s entrance but disappointed with the actress. I couldn’t believe she could lift Superman. I thought she would break.

Notice that *all* the so-called Amazons are like that, not just Wonder Woman.

  61. After seeing the movie and months have gone by, I can 100% agree with this article. She was a rubbish Wonder Woman and the only reason people enjoyed her so much to say she was the stand out, is because the rest of the film was so utterly rubbish. Gal was SO skinny and I couldn’t believe her as Wonder Woman at all. I cant see where this amazing acting was that got her the job ahead of so many other actresses. Clearly she was cast as eye candy for Bruce. I believe she will be just as weak for the solo film and really cant see her carryi bg a whole film by herself.
    At least Daisy Ridley is working out and getting muscles and believable strength for episode 8. She is doing way more than Gadot did for her WW prep. And the Thor muscles argument still stands. How can he be expected to look muscled but Gal isnt?

    Reply

  65. I am literally laughing over some of the comments here. The author CLEARLY states “only time will tell if this is good casting or not.” Reading is fundamental. Sadly, the whole Gadot issue is almost like a dog whistle among certain fanboys. The only thing we can go by is physically what Gadot looks like, and I’m sorry, Olive Oyl in an ersatz Xena costume is not working for me.

    This article seems to have brought out an aspect of fandom that holds a very special hate-place in my heart, and it typically involves actors whom people find so “pretty” or “hawt” that somehow they are above scrutiny. For some reason, there are some who cannot accept the simple logic that what they find attractive IS NOT necessarily synonymous with correct casting. Define “attraction” any way you wish; it doesn’t have to be physical.

    I happen to love Benedict Cumberbatch as an actor, and am keen on his casting as Dr. Strange. But as Superman? No way. Just like I wouldn’t cast Gina Carano as a ballerina. An actor should embody his/her role in the fullest sense or risk the suspension of disbelief (which kills the enjoyment of films that inherently depend upon accepting the fantastical).

    Then again, I apply that rule to ALL actors regardless of gender. Look at the amazing physical transformation Chris Pratt went through to play Star Lord. Check out the workout videos for Olivia Munn to prepare for Psylocke. THAT is dedication for real. Henry Cavill and Ben Afleck both had to undergo brutal regimes for their superhero personas (Henry Cavill’s workout videos made my abs hurt just looking at them).

    So why does GADOT get a pass from the scrutiny? What makes her so special? I haven’t seen a single film of hers where she’s been a particularly interesting or captivating character. So, with all of the actresses out there who have dark hair, blue eyes and physical prowess and charisma, can anyone seriously tell me that NO ONE more in line with the Wonder Woman archetype could be found? The actress who played Faora in MOS would make a better Wonder Woman. That was a seriously bad-assed female (still angry at how that talent was wasted). Any number of other readers probably also could easily name quite a few women who could do the role justice. WHY GADOT? I still haven’t read one truly good justification.

    So yes, we have the right to question and even criticize casting choices in films. Part of the reason we get horrible genre flicks is the perception that fans will swallow whatever Hollywood chooses to crap down our collective throats. I’m sorry, accepting this one as Wonder Woman is no different than asserting that Verne Troyer could believably be cast as the next Shazaam!

  66. I’m just gonna share my asshole opinion and you can all down-vote it all you like. Gal Gadot just got ‘offered’ her first couple of roles in Hollywood (in BIG movies) while she was in college – which doesn’t happen, she clearly has contacts in the industry. Not to mention people are referring to her military past as it making her a badass, which I think is highly inappropriate; the Israeli army does plenty of questionable things and has she been forced to serve as a citizen of Palestine or Iran, nobody would have referred to her military past as “cool” or “badass” or legit. Also, when I think “Wonder Woman” I don’t think beauty pageants – which was her launching platform. I wanted to see an experienced actress in this role, and to tell you the truth, I was hoping for an American actress (yes I know Wonder Woman herself is not from the US, but she’s been there A WHILE) and I say that as someone who is from a non-English speaking country myself. Any accent was going to annoy me. So there I said it.

(everyone can develop and enhance, ryt?) She really portrayed well the role and shes now on my list of my best and favorite actresses so far.. i can see a lucrative future for her in the next 10 years or more..

  83. I agree with this as well. Basically, all she does is work slow motion scenes. She crosses her arms in front her face (in slow motion), she does a slight sexual open mouth, out of breath pose (in slow motion), she jumps (in slow motion) and she does a pornographic slow motion scream during battle, (EEEEE AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!)

    I wanted to bang her head on the floor when she said “Kal-El” in Justice League. I actually didn’t realize she knew Superman so well, since the only time she met him was when he died.
