Hot damn! For anyone worried that Gal Gadot wouldn’t take her casting as Wonder Woman seriously, allow her to flex your current outlook on her determination. Today she posted a progress shot of her marvelous (yes I said “marvel”, I went there) physique after what she described as a “good workout in the morning.” Take a look at her fabulous bicep toning thus far:
Well, all right, then, Ms. Gadot, not too shabby. She’s not quite there yet, but of course, change doesn’t happen overnight. Gadot has been engaged in an extreme training regimen consisting of Kung Fu, kickboxing, swords, jujutsu, and Brazilian, all in order to prepare for her role as Wonder Woman. Given that Superman-Batman is delayed into 2016, I’d imagine she’d be nice and buffed up well in time for the movie’s shooting.
Even if you were one of the folks who wasn’t too fond of her choosing, you have to at least give her credit for busting her ass to don the garments of the Amazon Princess. You go, girlfriend!
It is all subjective. If the writing is great and the director is talented the on screen talent probably won’t be the weakest link.
The smaller in stature Wonder Woman is the bigger she’ll make Batman and Superman appear.
“Just to remind people, Amazon does not mean big muscled and big-boobed. It means skilled female warrior.”
Says who? Source, please?
To put this slightly into perspective: WW is the female answer to Superman. Shall we have a skinny, waifish Superman kicking ass? Buff it on up, Gadot!
Someone with super strength would be unable to develop huge muscles.
Gina Carrino is ugly. Stop saying she would be perfect because she looks like a lesbian. We need someone reasonably attractive to be wonder woman That being said, Gal Gadot isn’t much better., and is no way the right choice.
lol fail. Gina C would have been better.
Michael Cera isn’t playing lex luther lmao
Que Cera Cera, Jesse.
I didn’t know I was replaced with Micheal Cera
@ golly holightly – I agree 100%!! Carano is/always will be the best choice for W.W. in my opinion. I’ll give this a shot b/c I enjoyed “Man of Steel” very much. Batfleck is still harder for me to wrap my head around.
I love the Michael Cera comments. Hahahahaha, freaking clueless.
My mind is unchanged. Right up there with Ben Affleck, worst casting choice ever.
There you go girl! Show em. I have faith in her, I know she is very skinny but that is what gaining weight and muscle id for. Male actors do it all the time. She has the looks, now her accent is the challenge but a coach is just needed.
Wonder Woman with an eating disorder
Wow who is ‘Jesus’ Eisenberg.
That sounds like it’s going to cause trouble in temple!
Amazon definition aside.
This is hollywood saying that only model thin women are pretty.
We can ‘adapt’ characters in movies all we want but Wonder Woman
is Big character.
Decades of stories look nothing like this woman.
She looks like Wonder Woman after the parasite got a hold of her.
I honestly dont care about her looks, I’m concerned about her acting I’ve seen “Fast 5” and frankly, not impressed. I want a Wonder Woman my daughters can look up because she was an amazing character and not just pretty muscles in a costume
Actually, Amazon means “without breast.”
Greek tradition is that the Amazon women cut off one of their breasts so it didn’t get in the way of their swords(wo)manship.
The myth goes they did it so it didn’t inhibit their archery when they let loose of the bow string, not their swordsmanship. But the name itself has nothing to do with that, but rather the region they hailed from.
“Brazilian” probably stands for Brazilian Jiujitsu. We have a couple of martial arts in Brazil, but I don’t see any of them fitting Wonder Woman style other than BJJ.
Can you imagine Wonder Woman busting out Capoeira moves? That would be odd.
Costuming and cinematography can help if needed. Look at Jaimie Alexander as Lady Sif, she’s far from “man-ish” and at least 6 inches shorter than Chris Hemsworth, yet she seems equally as god-like on-screen.
If she keeps up the good work, she will make an excellent little sister to Wonder Woman… a future Troia.
Gina Carrino…………sigh…….oh well 🙁
Two different comments about Michael Cera as lex Luther? Really? Try Jesus Eisenberg, folks…
Micheal Cera may do ok as lex, but I loved lex in superman returns. Kevin Spacey was great in that role.
I don’t think that she has to buff up at all if she gets the attitude and movements right. Antje Traue, who played Fiora in Man Of Steel, looked like the biggest physical threat despite her small body.
I prefer her to be strong and a bit buffed to model skinny. But as a female WW fan I don’t want her looking rediculously mannish. It’s a fine line.
Perfect WW casting for a movie with Ben Affleck as Batman and Michael Cera as lex luthor….
Maybe Johnny Depp could play the joker and Nick Cage could be Alfred….. Or vice versa….
Brazilian? As in…waxing? Or is it actually capoeira and i’m actually being a perv?
It’s still early. Amazon may not mean big muscled, but WW is.

She’s still super thin. Hopefully she bulks up a bit.
She is gorgeous and I bet she’s going to be the best thing about that movie.
Just to remind people, Amazon does not mean big muscled and big-boobed. It means skilled female warrior.
