He's been attached for a while. And there's the Fantastic Four reboot thread in this very section:

Should have went with Gina Carano, at least she has taken a leading role before.

Funny enough, Gal Gadot and Gina Carano share screentime in Furious 6. Despite the fact that Gadot has more experience as an actress, she didn't have remotely the same screen presence as Carano. And that's not even counting when the action sequence actually started since the deck was (unfairly) stacked in Carano's favor, in that regard.

She was with Cavill too at some point, no? Guess That factors in the decision, I dunno. Maybe there is that bad breakup bs?

Gina Carano would have been badass. I think that was one actress that we all agreed on.

Despite Man of Steel being a hit (I also think Immortals did relatively well in the box office but am unsure), Cavill is still technically a nobody. The only way his previously dating Carano would factor into her not being WOnder Woman is if she rejected the role so as not to work with him. I very much doubt anyone gives a flying fuck what Cavill thinks about the casting of any role in this franchise.

That said, I did like Russell Crowe's anecdote about having met Henry Cavill many years ago while playing chess at a boarding school while he was shooting Gladiator.

There's a difference in taking a leading role and being a leading actress which Carano is nowhere close to being. She sucks at acting and I am glad she is not anywhere near this project.

Carano is a badass, but she does not have screen presence. She would have made a decidedly poor Wonder Woman, IMO.

Carano looks the part, but couldn't act her way out of her own jockstrap

She's on par with Gia Gardot, and would have looked much better in the role.

Supermallet 02-22-14 02:18 PM

Acting wise, she is not on par with Gadot. She's completely flat.

hanshotfirst1138 02-22-14 02:22 PM

I'm what films has Gadot been able to flex? All I've seen her in is the F&F movies, where she really doesn't do much.

And Gadot is going to win an Academy Award any day now.

I would say Gadot is the one that's flat. We are talking about chest size, right?

She's got charm, which is more than I can say for Carano. For the record, I wouldn't have picked either to play Wonder Woman, but if Gadot and Carano were my only two choices, so long Carano!

I feel the reverse. Gadot has no charm. Carano will never win any awards for acting but Gadot is a block of wood.

I've never seen Gadot out of the F&F films but her acting isn't a highlight for them.

Re: Untitled Superman & Batman Film (May 6, 2016) (D: Snyder; S: Eisenberg)
 
Haywire was a decent film, Carano wasn't fantastic but she wasn't awful either. If we ever get a standalone Wonder Woman movie she'd be preferable imo. FF now... those I try not to think about.

I don't think Gadot really got a chance to do much in the F&F movies, so it's hard for me to judge any acting skills based on that. I disagree that Carano had more presence then her though.

Although there was little room for much acting, the role of Giselle demanded presence, charm, and charisma. Gal Gadot demonstratednone of those traits. She was just a pretty face. Heck, Paul Walker's description of her in Furious 6 suggested she'd be a badass and not once did that ever come across. Gina Carano practically screams badass whenever she's on screen.

Not for me, i thought her character was charming from the start in part 4 :shrug:

That's cool. I just thought she looked pretty but had no personality.

Fuck this movie.


we may have yet another dcu superhero popping up in batman vs. Superman. According to latino review michael b. Jordan has met with zack snyder for an undisclosed role for someone not only "physically fit" but also willing to pop up in further dc adaptations. So far, the speculation seems to be that jordan is being looked at for victor stone a.k.a. Cyborg, a 30-year-old+ character most famous to young audiences for being part of the teen titans and one of the newer jla members. Stone is not to be confused with the hank henshaw cyborg from the death and return of superman story.



The part is only scheduled to shoot for a few days, so if jordan takes the batman vs. Superman role, it will mostly serve as a lead-in for a bigger part in future jla flicks. Given that jordan is a white-hot commodity right now, and is officially signed on to play the human torch in josh trank's fantastic four, there's a good chance nothing will come of this, and whatever role he's up for will go to a (maybe only slightly) less in-demand actor. But, needless to say, getting someone like jordan to join the increasingly star-studded cast of batman vs. Superman could only help boost the film's pedigree, and beefs up the already formidable jla lineup warner bros. Is getting together.



This could all be merely an easily-propagated rumor, but as el mayimbe points out in his lr piece, "zack doesn't just meet with anybody. He targets certain actors," so if snyder approached jordan with a good enough game plan, he very well may be on board what could easily be 2016's biggest, highest-pedigree release.

Uh, so is Gardot. Literally and figuratively.
