I dig her face, but more food, feed her, please, lol.

Here's what Snyder had to say about her casting:

“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.”

Is Flash in this?

It's confirmed Flash will have a cameo, though it's not confirmed whether he'll be Allen or West. It's not even confirmed if he'll appear in the costume or not. At least from what I've read.

Is Flash in this?

Doesn't filming begin in late January or February. Depending on the size of her role and when she'll be needed that's very little time to change your body. It'll be interesting to see what her costume/uniform will look like. A new version has been shown for the JLA War Animated film that is a full body suit rather than a one piece. I'd like to see something along the lines of the armor worn in Kingdom Come with the traditional suit underneath.

I'm guessing the role won't be a co-starring part, but more of a cameo. same with Flash, but that's just a guess.

I'll wait til I see her in costume, I'm sure she'll be working out and learning to fight and all that..

[mego73]

I am not too invested in this one way or the other because I am sort of disenchanted with modern superhero movies but I am more than sure that she will bulk up for the role like Christopher reeve did for Superman.

[samurainoir]

Given that they reboot franchises every few seconds, I'm sure Jaimie Alexander will get her kick at the can in the future.

[hedrap]

Most likely, Alexander didn't end up as WW because her price has certainly gone up. It's not a bank breaker, but Gadot won't get paid as much as Jamie would have.

She's limited Thor 3, so I think she really wanted out.

You've also got director/producer ego involved. Grabbing her would look like they were glomming onto Marvel.

Then, you got agents. Packaging comes in phases. I don't know who Gadot or Alexander are repped by, but you'd have to compare that to who reps Cavill, Affleck and Snyder.

All I ever wanted from Linda Carter was a stroll through the valley and possible brain damage afterwards.

[Hector]

Thank you for not butchering me, fellas, lol.

[The Bat]

The nostalgic crowd is gonna kill me for this...but Jamie Alexander looks even better as the true Wonder Woman than Lynda Carter ever did...don't get me wrong, Lynda Carter was gorgeous...but Jamie Alexander resembles the comic book Amazonian more accurately and faithfully.

Naw, we won't kill you Hector(maybe just maim a bit). Actually I think you're right....she's PERFECT! It's a shame they couldn't get her.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^It may have been scheduling. Maybe she was tied to another project? They are really fast-tracking this...which may be a bad thing.

I agree, and on top of that, Jamie looks like she can actually kick ***. I wonder why she turned down the role. Warner must have asked her first, surely?
