Director Zack Snyder explains why he cast Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, “We tested a bunch of actresses, as you can imagine,” Snyder told Film Ink, he notes that six other actors were up for the role. “But the thing with Gal is that she’s strong, she’s beautiful, and she’s a kind person, which is interesting, but fierce at the same time. It’s that combination of being fierce but kind at the same time that we were looking for. She can get serious, but she’s amazingly fun to be around. And by the way, she really held her own with Ben in the screen test. Ben was like, ‘Whoa, that girl is something else!’”

So Gal Gadot is 5’10” which just makes her even more tall and lean. Or it just really means that she is the embodiment of an Amazonian warrior. All she needed to do was pack on some muscle. Therefore she received swordsmanship, Kung Fu kickboxing, capoeira and Brazilian jiu-jitsu training all in preparation for the role!
