Studio executives believe in Gal Gadot

Fans of the first female heroine to ever appear in the Detective Comics (DC) universe, the amazon princess Diana Prince, a.k.a Wonder Woman, received further good news this week that Israeli actress Gal Gadot will not only portray the mythic warrior in the upcoming sequel to Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, but will also appear in the planned Justice League follow-up flick as well as her own standalone film.

The online community is tweeting, posting and chatting up a storm about studio executives putting their faith and trust in the Middle Eastern beauty.

But fans will have to wait a while to see Gal and soon-to-be Caped Crusader Ben Affleck take on their respective mantles, as the Batman vs. Superman film has been pushed back to a summer 2016 release.
