Huh. Not what I expected.
I mean, sure there's going to be a lot of CGI involved, but she seems kind of small for the role in more than one way. I also don't know if her voice works for the character, even if she isn't faking a British accent for the part.
I mean, she doesn't have to be built like a tank or anything, she is an agile hunter type, but I dunno that she can pull off being intimidating or athletic enough for the role. She's supposed to be able to go one on one with Diana and hold her own.
Gal Gadot looks like she'd break Kristen in half.
She's going to be eating chicken breasts and living under the thumb of a personal trainer until the shoot at least.
I couldn't even see her as Cheetah's alter ego, much less the evil furry version.
She's supposed to basically be Laura Croft without a moral compass even as a human. This makes me think they're going to turn Minerva into an awkward nerdy coward before she becomes Cheetah. She's supposed to be a pretty fearless badass sociopath to begin with, just not a superhuman one.
They're gonna have to sell me on this one pretty hard.
If Patty and Kristen can pull it off, great. I'm just not getting my hopes up. Especially not with DC's recent track record regarding movies and properly adapting their characters.
