Wonder Woman Poll: Better than Gal?

[Commenter 42]

Although Gal Gadot looks fantastic in her sweet new Wonder Woman duds, I still can't help but feel that she's been woefully miscast. It feel's like a missed opportunity.


I've compiled a brief list of candidates whom might suite the role better, in my estimation, than a runway model-turned-actress. I've also included a poll so y'all can vote if you're so inclined.

Yay! Let's begin.


1. Amazon Eve / A Literal Amazonian.



According to Snyder, Affleck's height was a plus. It meant that Superman would be physically looking up to Batman. I thought it would be even better if both of them literally looked up to WW.
Perhaps other Amazonian roles could be played by Lindsay Hayward and this woman


2. Amanda Beard / Olympian



Beard is well suited to play Diana. As an Olympian, she's someone who can physically own the role. She's also got that blue eyed - dark haired look we've grown accustomed to over the years.

3. Laverne Cox / Unknown Transgendered woman.



(I'll admit, I'm not as hip with the correct turns of phrase, so if I've made any mistakes in my wording, I've no intent to offend. )

Putting a trans woman in the role would be pretty awesome. I'm suggesting Laverne, because she's a damned fine actress, as evidenced in OISTB. Alternatively, this could also be a great opportunity to cast a great unknown, and raise the visibility beyond Caitlin Jenner.


4. Ronda Rousey/ Gina Carano / Trained Fighter




Should WW be a tough-as-nails brawler? Roussey seems to thinks so.

It would be nice to see properly thrown punches in a CBM for a change.


5. Jamie Alexander / Fan "choice"



The sheer number of photo manips online of Jamie As WW is staggering. She bears more than a passing resemblance to the hero, and has already tread similar ground in Thor.

Anyway, that's it. If you have a better suggestion, have at it.


You spin me right round baby, right round...
