    Poll Would you have preferred Christina Hendricks to play Wonder Woman over Gal Gadot (85 votes)

    Yes, she would have been great. 14%
    No, Gadot is much better suited to play Wonder Woman. 66%
    Meh neither that great and/or I just want to see Wonder Woman. 20%

    Apparently Nicholas Winding (Drive) was in early talks to direct Wonder Woman. However, he only wanted to do the film if Christina Hendricks was in the role feeling she was the perfect fit. I'm curious what all you think about her playing the role or do you feel Gal Gadot is the better choice. Its an understatement to say that before BvS release that many fans were displeased with the choice of Gadot. Though now it seems many have changed their tune.

    Gadot may have gained some fanboys so I doubt anyone would be better suited for the role.

    Some of us liked what Gal was able to convey in those 15 minutes.

    And to the OP;

    Though I think Christina is beautiful and I love her gorgeous curves, I could not see her as WW. Even when she isn't trying to, she exudes SEX. Wonder Woman's sexiness should be more subtle. I think Gal as WW has that "thing" where she's sexy without poking your eyes out with her massive tatas. Gal looks the part, in every interview she seems to "get" Diana and her sheer excitment at playing the character shines through!

    I know right......What very little acting she did was very poor what was left could have been done by any actor with direction and CGI.

    Don't know if CH would be any good but almost anyone would be better than Gal Gadot.

    Had to vote for neither being that great. I've never seen anything from Hendricks that makes me think she'd be a good fit for Wonder Woman and I've never seen anything good from Gal.

    Not sure if I could pick someone to make a great Wonder Woman though to be honest.

    I don't know, what we've seen from Gal in the WW role thus far has been pretty good ... more issues with the script from BvS than her actual performance IMO. I'm hoping Jenkins tones back on the mentality that WW must be totally serious at all times, because it appears like Gadot is having fun on set and she certainly respects the character from the interviews she's given. I doubt we'll ever find the "perfect" WW in terms of physical appearance, attitude and acting ability, but I think Gadot is growing into the role. Hendricks is certainly an amazing actress and with a little hair dye could look the part, but I'm not sure she's got the athletic ability to sink her teeth into an action role... admittedly I could be WAY off base with that assumption though!

    @csg_cl: When I say I haven't seen anything good from Gal I only mean her previous work. I didn't see anything bad from her in BvS or at least nothing that stood out. I'm willing to give her a chance because I think she's got a great look for a realistic Wonder Woman and I agree that she seems to respect and enjoy the character which is always good.

    I see ... and I agree, her work in the FF films wasn't exactly awe inspiring stuff :)

    Well how about saying I'm easily impressed? You don't know me. You don't know the scope of my love for this chatacter. We can disagree on a topic of conversation without being snarky. Anyhow, BACK TO TOPIC!

    That gif is oxygen to me! Seeing Wonder Woman smiling, happy, and being silly just endears Gal to me so much more. :) I know she's just goofing off, but I like to think Diana is the same way on her off time. As an only child amongst thousands of mothers, I imagine she devoloped her own brand of silliness and quirkiness...

    And as for Ms. Hendricks? Ummm, Aphrodite anyone??? She'd be PERFECT!

    Gal certainly looks like she's more exotic than Christina, but all in all the idea of Refn making a Wonder Woman movie makes me cringe. Probably lots of rape and skull crushing happening in that film.

    I doubt she'd be better. I don't like Gal for the role either but she did a surprisingly good job.

    Hendricks' face and physicals scream Power Girl more than WW.

    No way, traditionally Wonder Woman's red-headed rival is blunt, fierce, a bit mean, it's part of her charm. Society used to hold some preconceived notions about ginger women that maybe played a part in the character's design, redheads were believed to be wanton and quick-tempered, in victorian England nobody wanted a ginger wet-nurse because of that. Christina Hendricks just seems like one of those girls who'd notice it if someone put a pea under her mattress, and just an FYI: she's not a natural ginger. Ronda Rousey, on the other hand, is (or would've been) perfect for the role of Artemis.

    Ronda Rousey ... not really a fan of her to be honest, and what is with this thought that only some UFC type woman can play the role, does Rousey even have any acting credits? I'd rather have a totally proven and amazing actress play the part of a main character ... CH has the acting chops to pull off a tough rival despite your rather petty assessment of "looking like one of those girls" ... stereotype much?
