Gal Gadot Wonder Woman: PHOTOS of the Israeli Actress Cast to Play Iconic Female Superhero
Israeli actress/model Gal Gadot has been cast to play Wonder Woman in the highly anticipated Batman vs. Superman.
While Gadot has become known to audiences for her role in the Fast & Furious franchise, she isn't a household name. The model-turned-actress has also emerged as a potential star through roles in Knight and Day, Date Night and the TV series Entourage.
Gadot was the winner of Miss Israel in 2014 and went on to compete in the Miss Universe pageant the same year.
Wonder Woman is bound to become Gadot's most well-known role, propelling her into worldwide fame. The character of Wonder Woman has never been properly depicted on the big screen, so Gadot's performance will be the standard-bearer.
Batman vs. Superman, a.k.a. Man of Steel 2, is scheduled for release in theaters on July 17, 2015.
Here is a gallery of photos of Gadot from press events as well as from her own Twitter account. Judge for yourself to see if she is a good fit to play Wonder Woman:
