They should have cast Kaley Cuoco. She looked gorgeous and feisty in that Wonder Woman costume on The Big Bang Theory!

TO Edwzoomom-Don't feel bad when I was a kid I wanted to play superman, so what happens, they make me up for one scene to play Jason in one of those movies. Lot of people played Jason in that long series.

A shame they didn't cast Jaimie Alexander. She has a great combination of beauty and toughness. She would have been perfect.
I'm inclined to agree. But perhaps her role as Sif in the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes with a non-compete clause or something barring her from work for Marvel's Distinguished Competitor.  I'm totally unacquainted with Gal Gadot's work, so her casting means nothing to me, other than a vague, cautious optimism about the fact WB is finally putting the character in a live-action movie at all, regardless of who's playing her.
It's just too bad her live-action big screen debut will have her as a tertiary character to two other superheroes, at most (we don't know if she'll even be anything more than a fleeting cameo or something). I know there are quite a few fans who've been pining for a live-action WW movie, and now she's finally appearing but only as a supporting character in a movie devoted to the two DC characters who've already gotten numerous movies of their own over the decades.

She doesn't appear to have the proper....um....err....."assets" for the role of WW. Oh well.
Funny how Linda Carter has forever set the benchmark for Wonder Women based on breast size.
perhaps Linda Carter only maintained the benchmark already set by the comic book. I would post some photos, but I'm at work. 
It really shouldn't matter, I think, since Wonder Woman is supposed to be about way, way more than the way she fills out her costume.  Anyway, I'd imagine Gal Gadot's costumes in the movie will have her looking different from how she appears in that particular photo.
If anything, I'd say a more important physical attribute to consider when casting the character is height - Diana's a literal Amazon, after all. How tall is Gadot?

Aside from the aforementioned Jaimie Alexander, I think Cobie Smulders would make a great Wonder Woman, and apparently Joss Whedon himself wanted her for an aborted WW project he was involved with. It's too bad it didn't work out, but as it happens we will in fact get to at least hear Smulders as a version of Wonder Woman, in next year's The LEGO Movie.
I really do think Cobie would be a terrific "straight," live-action Wonder Woman, but I'll be more than happy to take this. Frankly, I've gotten more pure fun anyway from the trailers alone for The LEGO Movie than I have from the entire Dark Knight trilogy and Green Lantern combined, and I suspect the full LEGO movie will probably turn out to be my favorite movie featuring DC characters since at least 1978, if not of all time.
Cobie Smulders, of course, already has an ongoing role as Maria Hill in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and for all I know that might be keeping her from being considered for major DC characters in live-action, as it could also be with Jaimie Alexander, but might anyone here know for sure?
