Gal Godot Confirmed as Wonder Woman

Gal Gadot has been confirmed for the role of Wonder Woman in the yet untitled 'Batman vs. Superman' movie, reports Variety.  From the article, director Zack Snyder states:

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

This confirms previous rumors that she was up for the part along with Olga Kurylenko.  Gadot had previously appeared in 'The Fast and the Furious 6'and 'Fast Five'.

While she wouldn't have been my personal first choice, I'm sure Gadot will step into the role.  She certainly has the looks (she was Miss Israel in 2004), she'll just need to add more muscle to her frame. My only concern at this point is overcrowding of heroes in the film.  But, I'll reserve judgement until we see the finished product.

The film is scheduled to release July 17, 2015.
