my guess is your list starts and ends at gina carano..


while she has the perfect look for it, she's a terrible actor, so no. You know they had to give her a great chance, and she probably had the upper hand on everyone, yet they still passed on her, which tells you how terrible of an actor she likely is.

I'm sure they could have found a somewhat relative unknown, or small time actor that had the body and look, and enough acting skill to make it work.
Cavill wasn't a well known actor before.

Adrianne Palicki, who was on Agents of Shield, and supposed to be Wonder Woman for the tv show that never happened. She's a bit too pale for my liking.


Famke Janseen definitely fits the bill, but she is rather old, same as Lucy Lawless. Those two would have been perfect 15 years ago.



Sienna Miller is hot as hell, but i think she's a bit too short for it, and skinny, but she looked great in GI Joe.

Also from GI Joe, Rachel Nichols, although she's a bit too pale skin for it, but definitely has the body.


Great bodies and good enough actors but to me, too white and don't have that exotic look, are Daddario, Eva Green and Alexis Knapp. They look great with dark hair, but their skin is just too pale and white to me.

It's not an easy person to cast, and i didn't hate Gadot. I like her, and liked her as an actor as Wonder Woman. i just wish she looked more like Wonder Woman and less like a stick figure. I think they picked a good one out of their choices for relatively known actresses. To get the better body type they probably would have had to cast a relative unknown actress.

It's not that they have to look like body builders, just carry a healthy weight. Lady Sif doens't look like a body builder. She still gives off the appearance as someone who is strong in the Thor movies. She's still a woman and i know you aren't going to find some buff looking woman, but at least have some meat on your bones.

ANd she wore this hot number to the premier of Thor



I guess what i'm asking for isn't really attainable with a decent actress. I'll concede.

Gadot is as muscular or even more muscular than all of those actresses. Famke Janssen is EXTREMELY skinny. I just have a hard time understanding what you're getting at. It doesn't make much sense, tbh.

Gadot is tall, athletic, and now you can throw in muscular. She has a beautiful face. I can't imagine someone looking better than her. If you want to talk about her acting or accent, fine. I happen to think she acted fine and her accent didn't bother me.

I agree. She was fine, and was a bright spot in an otherwise overly dour film. I don't get the continued focus.

Granted, I still think her inclusion makes no sense given MoS, but I'll go with it. Thanks David Goyer. You hack.

I agree that there is plenty to fault in BvS, but if you're still hung up on Affleck and Gadot being terribly miscast, you're just looking for reasons to hate the movie.

no you can't. she doesn't weigh over 115-120lbs at 5'10", after "bulking" up. If she went get an annual checkup, her BMI would come back as extremely underweight. That's what Sienna Miller weighs, 6" shorter.

Palicki is 5'11 and weighs about 140, same as Lucy Lawless, and same as the "skinny" Famke.

I did talk about, and said that i liked it. I thought she did a great job as Wonder Woman.

Lucy Lawless 20 years ago, basically Xena is the most obvious choice.
Gina Carano without a doubt LOOKS better than her.

I said I conceded as well. i still want a thicker looking Wonder Woman, but i guess i can't complain that much about her when you look at the options of decent actors out there. I'll say it again, I still think she did great in the movie, and i liked her, i just wish she wasn't a stick figure.

Well, in her early life she was a combat instructor for the Israel Defense Forces. I'd say she probably can move around pretty well. She also grew up playing on tennis, basketball, dodgeball, and volleyball teams. As well as was a dancer for 12 years.........yeah.

How do you know how much she weighs right now at this moment? According to this, LINK she weighs 128 pounds, which her BMI says:

To be within the right range for your height, your ideal weight should be between 129 lbs and 174 lbs.
Hmm, one pound off. And I guarantee you she has been putting on constant weight for JL.

This is not 20 years ago.

That's a matter of opinion. I disagree. She's too short and just hasn't looked as good lately, IMO.

Christ. Gadot looked amazing in BvS and drew the focus to herself in every scene.

Carano's best performance to date was as the comedic villain in Deadpool. And for that performance they relied on her lack of on-screen charisma to make the role work.

There is no way that Carano could pull off a lead role like Wonder Woman.

I never said she could. Simply said she "looks" better. I think some of you are having a hard time understanding what i've said.

Let me summarize.
I think Gadot is a stick figure.
I think Gadot did a great job as Wonder Woman acting wise.
I think they can find someone who can still act ok and have a better body.
After researching a good bit, the ones that can act and have the bodies, are too pale white for my liking, or too old.
In conclusion, they probably made a good choice with Gadot. She has the exotic looking face, is a good actor, but she still looks like a stick, and has zero tits.
I'd rather a better actor in Gadot be Wonder Woman, than better looking terrible actor Carano be Wonder Woman, but i still think they could have found a relative unknown actress that fit the bill better, just don't think they wanted to take the chance.
I'm satisfied with Gadot.

Most everything you've said is opinion oriented except for this. Even at 128 pounds (which I'm sure she weighs more) she is far from a stick figure. Some of the actresses you've named would be classified as this before her at this point. She is not a stick figure anymore. Everything else is your opinion.

Also, some of the actresses you've mentioned have smaller tits than Gal. It was just your contradictions that had everyone unsure of your intentions.

thanks for your opinion, and she does not weigh more than that, if that. She literally weighed 100lbs during fast and the furious. Then said she gained about 17lbs preparing for BvS.

Some were skinny. Some, like Famke, I was looking more at the face, which i like about Gadot as WW.

Thanks for your opinion. I think she still is.

no they don't. She literally can't make them touch to have cleavage they are so small. She has the chest of a teenager in a training bra.

For the last time, i said i conceded and i'm happy with Gadot.

You named two that are right at the same size.

Gal Gadot

Bra Size 32B

Famke Janssen

Bra Size 34B

Sienna Miller

Bra Size 32B

And most of the others have C cups. Wow, big difference. Your tits are one cup size bigger. YOU'RE HIRED!

Then why are you persisting? You made some contradicting statements and suggested some actresses that are no "bigger" than Gal and got called out on it. Just let it go.

So you think this looks better than this?




I like Carano- but she hasn't the grace, height, personality or looks for the role Gal Gadot is a fantastic Wonder Woman just on looks alone.

The theatrical release was awful. Zac Snyder sucks at story telling, all he cares about is cinematography. He should have spent as much time telling the story as he did crafting that necklace around the gun shot.


Who the hell was the monster at the end? What the frick is "blood of my blood?" Two more minutes of dialogue would have done wonders. Could have cut one of useless dream sequences to fit it in.

The movie felt too much like The Watchmen to me. Except Snyder did not have material to work with, so he screwed it up.
