    She wont gain it - they will CGI it on her if we complain loud enough. What a shame...and yet another terrible message to send to little girls. Anorexic chic = wonderwoman

    calling women "anorexic" based on their appearance is also a terrible message to send to little girls.

  • Linda Hamilton bulked up when she had to for her role as Sarah Connor in Terminator 2 and she rocked it. I'm hoping this will happen again for this actress to play WonderWoman. It CAN happen. I just hope it does.

    We've waited long enough for this damn movie. Make it work DC!!!

    Have we ever seen a woman like that put on muscle for a roll? Men gain muscle a LOT easier folks.

    I shall answer my own question thanks to google.

    Jessica Beil - Blade Trinity


    Demi Moore - G.I. Jane


    Hillary Swank - Million Dollar Baby



    But I don't think any of them started that thin.

    edited out pictures, but I think the last two at least are fairly small/thin when not putting on muscle for roles. I think they have been called out for being "too thin" before. I could be wrong though, I am not very well versed in celebrity.

    She also served in the Israeli military for two years and part of her job was as a sports trainer...I think she will be okay.

    This is definitely how Wonder Woman has always been portrayed... this Gal is quite thin and while I'm not bashing her for that, it just doesn't fit the Amazonian description. She's SUPPOSED to be tall and strong... I sincerely hope that they do get her in a gym to put on some muscle!

    Hell, if they're just gonna CGI dafuq outta her character, why not just cast Linda Carter? Probably more cost effective to make her look younger rather than that chick look like how WW should look.

    FTR: I'd still hit that... and "Mary Anne" from "Gilligan's Island" too. :happy: #PervySmirk

    sigh..wonder woman and pulsar (my avatar) were my 2 heroes growing up.

    i think they're having such a hard time casting for WW because that ideal is no longer something that hollywood values. linda carter was believable she was tall, statuesque, feminine and she looked like she could put a hurting on a mofo.

    Anyway, i'll withhold all judgments until i hear whether or not she goes on an extensive bulking and training routine. my issue isnt necessarily that she's thin it's just that she doesnt look particularly strong.

    Lynda Carter and Gal are both 5'9....

    Also, Lynda doesn't look particularly "ripped" in this picture:

    Guys... bodies can change. I can see it in the face, and she must have done something to win it in the casting room.

    These ARE the people who can afford to spend their entire time devoted to getting a body for a role.

    I'm being a smidge judgemental here but I just don't know if she'll be able to bulk up for the role. To gain muscle she'd also need to gain some fat. And that's not something that young, Hollywood actresses are known for, the opposite really.

    gal-gadot_l6_zps2b52bd29.jpg




    I think that if this woman found an extra 5lbs of fat on her body she'd freak the F out.

    Yes, for roles, they do all the time...? If it's hoping for a blockbuster or an award, actors AND actresses will slim down to a BMI of 15 or ~bulk up~.

    They're going to get trainers, they're probably going to pump her with protein, and she'll be eating at a surplus and lifting weighs from here until/during filming. Then she'll probably instantly cut, spending just as much time on her diet/cardio. Until a possible sequel...
    Charlize Theron gained 30 pounds for Monster.

    no but she also doesn't look like a stiff breeze will knock her over.

    I dont really think its the ripped part but more the healthy voluptuous part that everyone is getting at. This girl has NO BOOBS!!!! The Amazonians are supposed to represent the virility or the feminine race so that they are able to lure men in. Most men want curves and boobs! This girl dont have them!

    This is rude.

    She may very well gain weight for the role...and you have no idea what most men want...might be nice to leave that out of the discussion.

    Actually, Amazons represented the strength of women rather than virility. Some versions of the myth state that they would cut off a breast in order to better shoot arrows.

    besides being rude it's out of place when talking about wonder woman. i mean seriously to this person who mentions that gal wouldnt make a good wonder woman because her body type may or may not be what most men want : have you ever read a wonder woman comic or seen the old TV shows? :huh:

    No it wasnt rude. If you read anything about amazons they lure men in with their beauty so that they can continue their race without men. If you look at any DC comic the most prominent part of the costume is the chest and waist that is most emphasized. Im going by what the DC comics draws their characters to be. When Linda Carter was WW notice what is also prominent on her costume. You can think what you want but its common knowledge that this is how WW is always portrayed. If you look at the photos that were posted on the first page its evident that she lacks the basic physical asset that is prominent in all WW portrayals.

    No, once a year they would mate with a neighboring town and all of the male children were either killed, sent back to their father or left to the wilderness. You are confusing the Amazonians with the Sirens.

    Wonder Woman was a comic written as thinly veiled BDSM fantasy with a dominant woman. Notice her weapon of choice was a lasso that would force the person tied up in it to do what ever she told them.

    And if the actress gains some weight for the role, WHERE do you think some of it MAY go? hmmm.

    it's not about looking ripped.

    linda carter looks solid. gal gardot at the moment doesn't. but like i said that's not gal's fault necessarily considering the way hollywood going. solid looking actresses like linda carter and raquel welch who did well in the 70's are few and far between these days when the ideal is for them to be thinner and quite often those roles are as bimbos (ie christina hendricks)
