3 Actresses Auditioned for Wonder Woman Before Gal Gadot (Including 1 Who Said She 'Never' Had a Chance)

Elodie Yung

Of Gal’s three competitors, the least is known about Elodie Yung‘s audition. However, she was listed as a contender in a 2013 story by Variety.

Olga Kurylenko

Olga Kurylenko reflected on her audition in a 2019 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. She said that she did it wearing “a bathing suit and some leather boots.”

She also went into it concerned about her history with Ben Affleck, who was starring as Batman. They had previously worked on To The Wonder.

“I like Ben as a guy, but I was worried because we had already worked together. Maybe he wouldn’t want to work with someone again,” she told the outlet. “Maybe he’d want to have someone he’s never worked with before. People don’t usually play couples over and over in different films… I thought, ‘I’ve already been in a movie with him. What are the chances of being with him in another movie?’”

She added that there were no hard feelings or regrets, saying, “The audition went like all of them. I had no idea, and anything could’ve happened. This time, it wasn’t a yes, but it’s fine because you can’t get everything in your life. It’s fine; I got Oblivion and Quantum of Solace. I can’t get everything, and it’s absolutely normal.”
