Gal Gadot was a brand new face to many when she was cast as Wonder Woman in Batman v. Superman, and some questioned her suitability for the role. But Gadot has been working steadily in action films since 2009.

Her first major role was in Fast & Furious as Gisele, a part she has since reprised in every subsequent instalment. If she can keep up with Dom Toretto and his crew, then kicking ass with sword in the trenches of WW1 should be a piece of cake.

She also recently featured in thrillers Triple 9 and Criminal, and add to her resume appearances in comedies Date Night and Keeping Up With The Joneses and I'd say Gadot's got a very solid and diverse range. As such, she's a great fit for a film which looks to offer some levity alongside not only action but romance too.
