Former Miss Israel cast as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince

Gal Gadot was Miss Israel Universe 2004...

"Warner Bros. Pictures confirmed Wednesday that Gal Gadot has been cast to play Diana Prince, and her superhero alter ego Wonder Woman, in director Zack Snyder's upcoming Man of Steel follow-up. This marks Wonder Woman's biggest on-screen splash to date — Lynda Carter played the DC Comics superheroine on TV in the 1970s, and Adrianne Palicki starred as Diana in a Wonder Woman pilot that never made it to series. 'Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe,' Snyder said. 'We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature-film incarnation of this beloved character'..." - USA TODAY

Gal Gadot.

Following an earlier report on an Israeli entertainment show, Variety has confirmed that upcoming big-screen Wonder Woman Gal Gadot is signed to a three-picture deal with Warner Bros. Further, the trade publication reports that beyond the untitled "Man of Steel" sequel, the plan is for Gadot to reprise the role in the much-speculated "Justice League" movie and a solo "Wonder Woman" film.
The news first surfaced Wednesday with sources including Batman News reporting on the untranslated segment from "Good Evening with Gai Pines." Gadot was announced in early December as appearing as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman in the "Man of Steel" sequel, which also features Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman.
The "Man of Steel" sequel will be the first live-action appearance of Wonder Woman in a feature film, following a '70s TV series and more than 70 years as a cornerstone of DC Comics. If a Gadot-led "Wonder Woman" solo film happens, it'll be a rare instance of a feature film starring a female comic book superhero, and likely the most high-profile yet -- 1984's "Supergirl," 2004's "Catwoman" and 2005's "Elektra" were all met with disappointing box office and negative reviews.
Last week, The CW confirmed that "Amazon," an in-development project focused on Wonder Woman's early days, was not going forward at the network.
Directed by Zack Snyder and also featuring Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Diane Lane (Martha Kent), and Laurence Fishburne (Perry White), the "Man of Steel" sequel is scheduled for release on May 6, 2016.

From my memories so many wasted beauties in MU 2004. Ukraine , Venezuela , and even our very own Maricar Balagtas 


She is more lovelier today 

I agree! She is even more beautiful now. My favorites from 2004 are Paraguay and Australia. I thought Philippines and Ukraine should've both placed that year too.
To me, Lynda Carter will always be Wonder Woman, but I am excited to see how Gal Gadot does. I already have my tickets for Batman V Superman.

I saw Batman V Superman today and Gal Gadot is awesome as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman!
