Since it was announced that Gal Gadot would play the princess of the Amazon Greek Island of Themyscira or Paradise Island, known as Wonder Woman in the upcoming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice film, we've always wondered how the actress would look in costume, and now we know.
The image came straight from Zack Snyder at San Diego Comic-Con, and while we are happy to finally seeing what Gal Gadot looks like in costume, we're not impressed at all.
The image is one of three posters at Comic-Con; the others feature Henry Cavil as Superman, and Ben Affleck as the caped crusader, Batman. While the two male stars seem to fit the role perfectly, we can't say the same about Gal Gadot, or is it that we are asking too much of Warner Brothers and DC.
The Internet has long criticized the choosing of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, since her body weight is below what fans have come to expect. We feel the same way about it, not to mention the fact that Gal Gadot isn't a proven actress. We've seen her in the Fast and Furious movies, and her performance there didn't impress either.
Looking at her in costume, it is clear as day that this actress is too thin for this iconic role. In recent times, she tried to assure fans that she would gain body mass since she would get down to some serious training. In addition, she even revealed an image of herself showing off her tiny muscles, and that gave us a shimmer of hope that she might just pull it off.
However, after viewing her in costume, our hopes suddenly died, almost.
Still, we have to give the benefit of the doubt here. The movie is not scheduled to release until March 2016, so Gal Gadot has enough time to get some meat on her bones. If not, then she would have to pull off an exceptional performance to get us rooting for her in the cinema, and we're not so sure she will, but we're optimistic.
Apart from showing what Gal Gadot looks like in costume at Comic-Con, we also heard that a teaser trailer debuted at the conference. According to reports, the teaser trailer contained both Batman and Superman in the same vicinity. Superman is hovering above with eyes red looking down at Batman very angrily. Furthermore, Batman is on the ground with the Bat armor on, and it appears as if both men are on the verge of killing each other.
