With Gal Gadot officially taking on the role of Wonder Woman in "Batman vs. Superman", one question is crossing the mind of every DC fan: what kind of role will she play in the film?
Plot wise, director Zack Snyder and the rest of the "Man of Steel" production team have kept quiet about the details. If you look into past DC Comics for plot clues, Wonder Woman is portrayed as an equal to Batman and Superman. Wonder Woman is also Superman's girlfriend, which would also be an interesting story line to dive into.
"In more recent years, the 'warrior princess' part of her mythology has been played up more, making her into a hawkish (and arguably more honorable) counterpart to the almost pacifist Superman and suspicious, cynical Batman, albeit one who unifies both heroes by accepting the darkness within people while choosing to remain optimistic nonetheless," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
However, fans of DC Comics aren't looking for a love triangle in the next "Man of Steel" film; they're looking for an action flick with a well thought out story line. "Thor" actress Jaimie Alexander, once rumored to be up for the role of Wonder Woman, explained it best.
"I'm a huge fan of Wonder Woman. I really think if this is the closest that we're ever going to get to Wonder Woman, then I'm proud to play Sif. I hope that other comic book entities can learn a lesson from Marvel in how to execute a female character the way it should be done." Alexander told Forbes. "I really would like to one day see a Wonder Woman film or Wonder Woman character, but until it's done with class, I'd rather it not be done."
