While not as much as
the cast of Ben Affleck as Batman, Zack Snyder's decision to cast Fast &
Furious actress Gal Gadot in the role of Wonder Woman was questioned by some
fans.
Now, speaking to Film
Ink the director revealed that while they screen-tested at least six other
actresses for the role, Gadot had some inherent qualities to her that made her
perfect for the role.
"She’s strong,
she’s beautiful, and she’s a kind person, which is interesting, but fierce at
the same time," Snyder said. "It’s that combination of being fierce
but kind at the same time that we were looking for. She can get serious, but
she’s amazingly fun to be around. And by the way, she really held her own with
Ben in the screen test. Ben was like, ‘Whoa, that girl is something else!’ That
was a good sign, because Ben is very tough in the scene, and he’s big and
commanding. Anytime that you’re doing a test like that and you’re looking at
the other person, you’re thinking, ‘Okay, that’s good stuff.’ That was part of
the process, and over time as we got to know Gal, we found out how amazing she
is."
Snyder also revealed
that DC's trinity, i.e. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are "forced to
work together."
Batman v Superman:
Dawn of Justice premieres on March 25, while Wonder Woman makes her solo debut
on June 23, 2017.
