15 Most Exciting Upcoming Comic Book Movie Performances
5. Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice)
At long last, Wonder Woman is being given her due and moviegoers will witness her in all her a**- stomping glory. The revelation that Diana was finally making her cinematic debut is immense and should have been a much more noteworthy point of discussion than it has turned out to be. For some reason, people have been more inclined to complain about Gal Gadots figure (which has definitely changed since she was originally chosen for the role) than the fact that WONDER WOMAN IS GOING TO BE IN A MOVIE YOU GUYS! It goes without saying that having the most iconic female superhero make it to the big screen is well overdue. Her presence signals one giant leap towards having female-centric superhero flicks, with the Amazon leading the charge with her upcoming solo film. Additionally, Zack Snyder has described Wonder Woman as the gateway drug to the Justice League, taking all the pressure off the shoulders of marijuana. Its clear throughout numerous interviews and promotional pieces that Gadot is taking the role seriously and understands its historical importance. Initially, Gadot may not seem to tick enough of the boxes required to convince us that she is a worthy Wonder Woman, as the role requires more than just ridiculous beauty. However, Gadot served in the Israeli Defense Forces whilst juggling modelling gigs. She would have been trained in the deadly, proficient art of Krav Maga. She did all her own stunts in The Fast and the Furious series and has frequently stated her desire to continue creating empowering female characters. This is an important role and Gadot is ready to serve her part.
