Warner Bros. has announced this morning that Gal Gadot, most well known for appearing in the "Fast & Furious" films, has landed the role of Wonder Woman/Diane Prince in Zack Snyder's upcoming Batman vs. Superman film.

In a statement, Zack Snyder stated: "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."

Batman vs. Superman will feature the return of Henry Cavill as Superman, facing off against Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Also starring Amy Adams, Diane Lane and Laurence Fishburne, the Zack Snyder-directed Batman vs. Superman hits theaters on July 17, 2015.

Judging from the size of her arm in the picture she must be "Wonder if she can stand UP woman"

I think there will need to be some CGI enhancement, if you know what I mean.

I usually try to give casting choices the benefit of the doubt, but this movie is really straining my ability to do that.

She isn't quite what I picture when I think "super powered Amazon".

The comics are the very definition of how she looks. A wig will disguise the Wonder Woman actress's short hair. Like long hair, large deltoids can also be faked. In any case, she's more magical than muscular. http://plastic-surgeons.findthebest.com/d/c/Deltoid-Implants/Californi

As usual Two, I point out something that's mind blowingly stupid and you rush to defend it

You WOULD be great in Hollyweird....

Who you got in mind for your ideal Wonder Woman? Olga Kurkulina, the weight lifter Mother Russia from Kick-Ass 2? She's got muscles. A lot more than comic book Wonder Woman.

Acting skill can't be faked but big shoulders can be by the costume designer because Wonder Woman doesn't absolutely need a sleeveless costume.

There is a much bigger problem than size of deltoids -- I remember that Joss Whedon's career got stalled for a year while he tried puzzling out what his producers (not some future audience in the theater) wanted in a Wonder Woman script. It appears to me that puzzle has been partially solved and it didn't require real big muscles. The producers like the actress even if Wishimay thinks she looks too skinny for the part.

And what's so wrong with using a body builder, huh? I'm not intimidated, but apparently most of Hollyweird is...They'd rather their heroes be "Magically Emaciated Woman" There's ripped guys on screen all the time, but women?? No, can't have that. They all have to look like a cereal box _ Generically Delicious and ultimately unfulfilling.

And "acting skill can't be faked??" Seriously??? Have you HEARD of David Hasselhoff or Marge Helgenburger??? Open heart surgery can't be faked, but acting? Yeah it totally can, and for DECADES.

To tell the truth, I got no idea what these particular producers want in their Wonder Woman: ordinary or supernatural or pure magic or who knows? Joss Whedon had that same problem when he was trying to please his producers with his version of Wonder Woman. That's why the movie hasn't been made, yet.

Those people looked like they fit the role, but when they open their mouths, can't act the role. Maybe the producers didn't care so long as they show up for work on time and sober.

Im not sure how she'll do in the part, but honestly, I have so little faith in this movie that I don't really care.

I thought Man of Steel had some good moments, but ultimately the film failed for me. And this "sequel," which feels more and more like a half-assed attempt to get some of that Avengers money without doing the groundwork, doesn't give me much hope.

That - and Wonder Woman being brought to the screen by the director of Sucker Punch.... not faith instilling.
