Should Gal Gadot Come Back As Wonder Woman For The New DCU?

TV movie implies movie

No. Not the same. Movie stars are in films. Gal is the first movie WW.

I would've liked Gal to wrap up a trilogy, but that doesn't appear to be in the cards, so just start from scratch.

I agree. I would have loved if Patty/Gal could have ended their trilogy in a March 2025 slot. Then we could have a new Wonder Woman verse.

No thank you, that ship has sailed already.

Hopefully this time the actor will actually look like Wonder Woman to me, Gal never did. Lynda Carter was PERFECT!

Exactatiously. That ship has sailed, that door is closed. Let's move onward...

Once again, I must concur with you!

BINGO! lol! She wasn't statuesque enough either, and then there's her accent. I got used to Wonder Woman sounding like Susan Eisenberg.

And that's why you're my Wonder Woman Message Board BFF!

YES! I will never NOT see her as Wonder Woman. She embodied the character perfectly (just like Lynda Carter did in the TV series), and just like Lynda Carter, she was gloriously charming and likable, with a special je ne sais quoi that, for me, screamed "Wonder Woman." However, I don't expect her to be back. Her Wonder Woman, as loved by general audiences as she was, is simply too associated with Snyder's failed cinematic universe, and I doubt that the new regime wants to remind general audiences of the DCEU's past failures overall. Hopefully, though, they find someone with an accent as well. Wonder Woman is not from the United States, and I loved seeing her speak in accented English, which, for me, enhanced the illusion of her coming from a far off, otherworldly land.

About the statuesque part, it has been stated that Gal is 5'9.5" while Lynda in her role was 5'9". So while Gal wasn't really my cup of tea in the role, she certainly was tall enough in my opinion. The problem was that the other superhero men were all over 6 feet tall. Now maybe if Tom Cruise played Superman, they could get the height differential right

Years ago when they were talking about Lynda Carter and her role on WW, it was stated that she was 5'11" and weighed 135 pounds during the filmings.

Now that you mention that, I would LOVE if the next actress who played WW were at least 6 feet tall. Not only that, I'd love if the DCU's casting people purposely cast Batman and Superman and most of the JL with actors that are shorter than the WW actress in order to finally have a Wonder Woman who looks amazonian in height.
