She was first fast and furious. Now Israeli actress Gal Gadot is looking positively wondrous.

Warner Bros. Pictures confirmed Wednesday that Gadot, 28, has been cast to play Diana Prince, and her superhero alter ego Wonder Woman, in director Zack Snyder's upcoming Man of Steel follow-up. The as-yet-untitled movie, scheduled for release July 17, 2015, features Henry Cavill in his second stint as Superman (and Clark Kent) and Ben Affleck, who's making his movie debut as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Gadot, a model and 2004 Miss Universe contestant from Israel, starred in three movies in the Fast & Furious franchise — including this year's Fast & Furious 6 — and also had supporting roles in Date Night and Knight & Day.

This marks Wonder Woman's biggest on-screen splash to date — Lynda Carter played the DC Comics superheroine on TV in the 1970s, and Adrianne Palicki starred as Diana in a Wonder Woman pilot that never made it to series.

"Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe," Snyder said. "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 Batman/Superman movie begins principal photography in the first quarter of 2014 and returns Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White and Diane Lane as Martha Kent.

If they take Girl Scout troops to see this as if this character is someone they should admire, we may as well as lineup at the Walmart next year at 6 PM on Thanksgiving night and buy washclothes, because THEY have won

The bigfan decoder ring I got from drinking Ovaltine is on the fritz again so I have no idea what this means. I think Gina Carano would have been a better choice because Wonder Woman should look like she can beat someone's ass.

Of course they will mas market this, but was Wonder Woman really a big seller in the doll market?

Half the reason they make these movies to sell the crap with it. Batman capes, Superman shirts etc.

Outside of the seeing the intro of amazon babes on an Island, the show sucked.

BASICALLY SAYING THIS WAS NOT WORTH A REMAKE AND WILL BE A FLOP.

Unless they go to Schools and Girl Scout troops, Girls on the Run, etc and try and get them to come see this movie in hopes of "Mommy Mommy, I want a Wonder Woman power band" (Of course it wont block bullets as that would be non PC)

We will wait and see.

All green of skin... 800 centuries ago, their bodily fluids include the birth of half-breeds. For the fundamental truth self-determination of the cosmos, for dark is the suede that mows like a harvest.

Amen. Wonder Woman is an Amazon,she should not be small and petite. If you look at the comics she is usually as tall or taller than the guys she is standing with. This has Man of Steel all over it. Fucking DC can not do a movie right.

Watching Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman made a young Dr. Ken feel funny back in the day.
