Editorials > And Justice League's Wonder Woman is....

If we're to believe the "multiple independent sources within Warner Bros. and unnamed agencies" that Quint cites at AICN, it looks like Wonder Woman is cast for the live-action/animated/CGI?/wait-what-is-it-anyway Justice League movie.

And what is her name?

Why, it's none other than Megan Gale!

Who, you ask?

Megan Gale! An Australian model who you may have seen in Stealth as "Dr. Orbit's Secretary" or in Stregati dalla luna as Viviana. In fact, I doubt you'd even remember her. And because you can't be bothered: here are the Google Image results. 

While it's not surprising that the Amazon Princess' role was filled with a looker, it's sort of a shame after hearing that actual actresses would be up for the part. And now a "supermodel" gets to put on the tights for your underwear pervert fantasies. Great. Here's to hoping AICN is dead wrong and WB plans on issuing a statement saying "Ha ha, you got played."

But they won't. And this will happen. Happy Friday everyone!

it sounds like a solid move considering that this movie probably wont be anything like Batman Begins . They want to have pretty people in cgi laden scenes . The writing will most likley be sub-par its just a " hey come watch this cool movie with hot people and we will make sequels " kinda movie . I will most likely wait for the dvd release and then watch it once and shelve it

And why is it that with the quality of actresses in the " Amazon Region " did the go with an australian . I mean there are more than enough hot talented south american actresses .

Good casting. She looks the part. It is going to be difficult to bring Wonder Woman to the big screen and be able to make it serious, a la Batman Begins style. Because after all, Wonder Woman wears stars on her tiny pants and swings a rope while deflecting bullets with her wristbands. I am rooting for this to work, but it's gonna be tough to pull it off.

agreed. She's got the whole broad shoulder, strong woman look to her. I say great casting choice.

And as far as the guy talking about getting an actress from South America...Wonder woman is an Amazon...but she's not from the Amazon. She's a character based off the greek warrior women called "amazons". Look it up, get educated.

This is going to be another great example for:
Big Budget - tiny story - negligible acting
