Gal Gadot cast as Wonder Woman

[Paul (ral)]

Heard that a few weeks ago, but not from BOF. The idea is that it would tie into the prequel comic from MOS.

A certain someone at BOF is certain that the "Amazons" of this film are going to be descendants of Kryptonians, not mythological figures.

I know it goes against the comic-books but I somewhat prefer this idea.  I never liked the idea of Wonder Woman being a 'princess'.  She's meant to be a tough, strong woman after all.  The notion of her being of royal blood doesn't seem to sit well with that.

What on earth do you mean Johnnygobbs? Aren't you forgetting characters such as Princess Leia? Sure the ladies of royal blood can be tough lol

I never really cared much for Princess Leia or Padme either even though I count myself as a Star Wars fan (at least Episodes IV to VI anyway).

I guess I like the idea that despite being a Princess, Diana was raised very much as a warrior, and thanks in large part to her wit during a tournament, received the privilege of being Wonder Woman. I also dug her role as an Ambassador for the Amazons of Paradise Island/Themiscyra, which (i think) was an element brought forth only during the Post-Crisis era....

Yikes,
I'd rather Wonder Woman not by a kryptonian...if they're going to bring the characters to the screen, they should at the very least respect their origins.

^At this point all if this is just rumor and speculation nothing confirmed. However, the theory is not that Wonder Woman will be a Kryptonian like Kal and Kara. I believe the theory is that the greek gods the Amazonians worshiped where actually alien beings that could be those ancient Kryptonian explorers shown in MOS, so the Amazons would be descended from ancient aliens/Kryptonians but would still be earthlings. If this is the way they go it's actually all not that dissimilar to how Marvel handled Thor in the MCU and I wouldn't have a problem with it. You could still have all the awesome mythology stuff from the comics, just now the gods are aliens as opposed to actual supernatural beings (again, just like Thor).

Turned out to be nonsense.  Jett was speculating and the web went wild. Meh.

Suppose I should've made that clearer.
