I don’t agree with the choice either. I think there is a real disconnect between whoever made that decision and gauging the temperature of what the public wants, which my impression was a bulkier, muscular woman. But that’s a matter of aesthetics. On the character aspect, I think it’s great that WB is finally doing something with her on the big screen. Well overdue. 😉

The article argues that she is “too skinny”. That isnt the point — she isn’t athletic, that’s
problem. Not at all. She has no muscle tone whatsoever, and is pale to the point of being
pasty. What is she, a vampire? Unless she starts hitting the gym immediately, this looks like
a terrible decision.

Lynda Carter was 5’9 and stick thin too.

Lynda Carter was 5’9 and stick thin too.

Linda Carter was a different Era. she actually lost weight for the role.

Yeah I was hoping that we progressed to the point where women can be a little more muscular but guess not.

“Director Zack Snyder said in a statement that Gal was perfect for the part.” In other news, Zack Snyder is a moron.

I’ll take a big guess that she’ll have the tiara,bracelets, and the lasso but wearing some kind of spandex bodysuit which is really going to cause a uproar.

This. In the 1970’s if Cheryl Tiegs had any visible muscle tone, magazines would airbrush it out. Even for the entertainment industry, Gadot looks pretty emaciated. It would have been encouraging if the production team showed any guts in casting. Ideally I would have liked to see Maria Wattel in the role B) , but that’s a flight of fancy.

That said, I’m willing to keep an open mind about Gadot. Perhaps she can move into the gym till filming. How are we coming on myostatin blockers?

Im pretty sure I read that Gal was 5′ 8″, not 6 foot.

And Jessica Biel was always a curvaceous, shapely girl, so putting on some muscle wasnt that big a deal for her, Gal here looks like a tiny, skinny waifish supermodel, the same will definately not be said for her.
