In a surprising announcement, it appears the search for MAN OF STEEL 2’s Wonder Woman/Diana Prince is over, with FAST & FURIOUS 6’s Gal Gadot bagging the coverted role. 

In a statement, director Zack Snyder had this to say:

“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.”

The currently untitled MAN OF STEEL sequel will open in cinemas July 15th 2015.
