Gal Gadot Stars in the Wonder Woman Movie

[SiegePerilous02]

I am so hyped for this. You don't even know. My body is so ready.
I just really hope the cast is amazing. As well as the locations in which they are filming
If they use the Temple of Hera for one of their sets, I will lose my mind.


Does anyone know who the director is?


Wonder Woman is starting to film in my birthday month, so I know good things are going to happen with this.
And this is 2015, they are wasting no time with this, and I love it.

Patty Jenkins, who directed that film Monster starring Charlize Theron.

Those would be some hot acquisitions of they can land them.

From the TV/Movie board: According to HeroicHollywood, Sean Bean and Eva Green are possibly being eyed for the parts of Ares and Circe.

CBR post.

I'd be thrilled with Green playing Circe, if she plays the part like she did Artemisia.
Bean playing Ares... not sure really, but if this is the case it seems a bit like they are just going with a boring generic visual interpretation of Ares rather than something more interesting.

You would rather have the Chiang version of Ares?!?

I'm so excited by that rumor, but...

Ares and Circe are two of Wonder Woman's biggest, baddest big bads. Having both of them in the film would leave little for a sequel, IMO, in terms of big, evil, powerful plotters. Unless, which would most likely be the case, Ares dies and Circe lives to strike back in a sequel. But I really hope they don't make Circe a lesser villain than Ares (or, shudder, a subordinate/minion of Ares). I've been dying for a major female villain in a comic movie. Eva Green would do an amazing job as Circe, IMO. Sean Bean is always great, but it's no secret I'm a fan of an eye candy Ares.

[SiegePerilous02]

Considering Miyabe's track record, they both might be in the movie, but they might be different parts altogether (see: the Chris Pine fiasco).

Maybe the Bean is going to be Zeus.

They could have them as villains across films. It seemed to more or less work fine for the X-movies.

I'd actually set it up that Ares is the big bad, only for Circe to subvert him.

Worst case for me would be Bean as the First Born and Green as Cassandra.

[kivatt]

Hey if it's true maybe Bean can avoid getting killed this time

He's gonna die if he's in the movie. Just learn to accept it.

I think if done right, first born can be a fine addition to the Wonder Woman rogues.

Imagine that man in the movie.

[Punisher007]

It's possible that one of them could be the main villain while the other would be a more "shadowy mastermind" type who will become more prominent in a potential sequel.

I prefer the unique interpretations, so yes, I'd prefer that. Otherwise they might as well hire the guy who played Ares in the Wrath of the Titans movie, and when they are done, they can lend him out to Marvel when they get around to making a Hercules movie.

Ugh god no. That'd be a waste of both actors.

I'm doing a re-read of the Azzarello run, and I'm coming away with a more positive impression of it. However, those two still really suck.

They would need someone bigger than Bean if they were adding the First Born. That said, FB is Hulk sized so perhaps he'd best remain a CGI character... which will look terrible because he looks like a normal human when leaving out his size.

Maybe if they used his design from the latter parts of the run it might work: the burned skin, the horns, blood/vein cape, etc.
It was the more visually interesting look, and would translate to an all-CGI character better.
