7 Actresses Who Were Almost Wonder Woman
6. Jamie Alexander
On paper, Jaimie Alexander would have been the perfect choice for Wonder Woman, and, like Olga Kurylenko, she was also up for the part in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice before it went to Gal Gadot.
Although Alexander may seem an obvious option to be cast as Diana, the reason for her not being picked is even more so, as she was already committed to portraying another badass mythological warrior over at Marvel Studios. That being the good friend of Thor and the Warriors Three, Lady Sif.
Alexander notes that she knew she hadn't any chance of her Wonder Woman casting happening. Both characters are ethereal, have armor and a sword, and special abilities - meaning they were (and are) extremely similar in so many integral ways.
Jaimie has also gone on record to state how she prefers Marvel anyway, as she believes, in her experience, they concentrate on character first and the explosions, glitz, and glamour second. Though, she did grow up a massive fan of Lynda Carter, telling Variety, "There will never be a better Wonder Woman".
Lady Sif will return in Thor: Love and Thunder, which is currently in production.
