There are no fans more exacting than comic book lovers, which Israeli model/actress Gal Gadot has learned since being cast as Wonder Woman in the upcoming "Batman vs. Superman" movie.
Her future co-star, Ben Affleck, also received the same harsh lesson when the Internet imploded after he was cast as Batman. He shrugged it off, and now Gadot is doing the same thing.
In her first interview about the role, Gadot told an Israeli entertainment show that she isn't fazed by the fans' concern that her physical appearance doesn't match Wonder Woman's -- particularly the fact that her chest is not as full.
"I represent the Wonder Woman of the new world. Breasts ... anyone can buy for 9,000 shekels and everything is fine," Gadot said on "Good Evening With Gai Pines" (via Batman-News.com).
"By the way, Wonder Woman is Amazonian, and historically accurate Amazonian women actually had only one breast. So, if I'd really go 'by the book' ... it'd be problematic."
Fans should have no fear that Gadot won't be physically prepared to play the superheroine. She's already starting "a very serious training regimen -- Kung Fu, kickboxing, swords, jujutsu, Brazilian."
She promised, "I'll gain body mass."
There, comic-book nerds, are you happy now?
