Gal Gadot Competed With 3 Stars to Play Wonder Woman in the DCEU (Including One Actress Who Said She 'Never' Had a Chance)

Gal Gadot had already established herself in the action world with her portrayal of Gisele Yashar in the Fast & Furious franchise when she became Wonder Woman, the leading lady of the DCEU.

The actress joined the DC Comics franchise alongside Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill and was lauded as one of the brightest lights for her portrayal of Diana Prince in 2016′s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Since then, Gal has reprised the role in several projects, including two solo movies. There have been ongoing questions about her future in the franchise.

She’s synonymous with the character, but Gal had to audition for it and faced some stiff competition.

In fact, we can say for a fact that she faced off against at least three other actresses to land the part. Of the three, two of them have opened up about their experience auditioning. One of them even explained why they knew that they “never” had a chance to land it.

With there being so much interest in Gal‘s future in the franchise, we decided to do some research into who else might have been wielding the Lasso of Truth.
