First Look at Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'

She's fierce, feminine and looks like she won't be taking any crap. The Warner Bros. panel at Comic-Con not only gave some glimpses of concept art from the Zack Snyder-directed "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" but what we've all been aching to see...Wonder Woman.

According to io9, Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot were present and posed for pics and they went on to describe the concept art...

The rooftops of Gotham City, Superman flying through flames, with an intense expression on his face, Batman standing in the rain on the dark rooftops, Batman with his batmobile, Superman running away from an alien spaceship, Superman carrying what looks like an injured Lois Lane, and Superman doing a three-point landing. Batman and Superman both looking hella intense and angry and kind of Frank Miller-esque.


Here's the "trinity" compliments of Brian Truitt on Twitter...

So what do you think about our Wonder Woman? Were you expecting the glamazon in gold, red and blue from the 70s? Probably not. The film is scheduled for release on May 6, 2016.

Zack Snyder to Direct 'Justice League' Film

Thanks to a Wall Street Journal exclusive interview with Warner Bros. president of worldwide production Greg Silverman, the news that the studio has set plans to make a “Justice League” movie has been revealed. Silverman stated that not only will a "Justice League" film follow 2016's "Superman vs. Batman" but Zack Snyder will be directing the film. And yes, Silverman was quoted as calling the "Man of Steel" sequel "Superman vs. Batman." He stated, “It will be a further expansion of this universe. ’Superman vs Batman’ will lead into ‘Justice League.’” So does this mean we have the official title for the MOS sequel? Seems too easy.

The "Justice League" script is currently in development and it is expected that Henry Cavill will return as Superman, Ben Affleck will reprise his role Batman and Gal Gadot will play Wonder Woman. There is no release date but the film will most likely not be in theaters before 2018. Based on Marvel's track record, they should really step it up. There is no definite word on what other Justice Leaguers will join their three friends, but Green Lantern, Aquaman and Flash obviously can't be ruled out.  The "Superman vs. Batman" film recently added Ray Fisher as "Cyborg" so he may appear as well.

Regarding a Wonder Woman spin-off, the WSJ mentioned that "Warner executives said they are warm to the idea" and president of worldwide marketing, Sue Kroll, reveals, “That is our hope. With the right script, that could be viable. The world is ready for her.”

So what do you think about the "Justice League" film news? Is DC going to give Marvel a run for their money or has Marvel cornered the market on superhero success? Let's try to forget the "Green Lantern" film and hold on to hope!

The sequel to "Man of Steel" has its Wonder Woman! "Diana Prince" will be played by 28 year-old Israeli actress and model, Gal Gadot. She will be joining Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill in the yet-to-be-titled sequel to Zack Snyder's summer hit.

According to Snyder, “Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character."

Gal has been in the last three "Fast and Furious" films but this role will clearly be her biggest. What do you think? Will she be able to fill the boots?

The tentatively titled "Batman vs. Superman" is due in theaters July 17, 2015.
