Batman Vs Superman casting and character news...Wonder Woman in the upcoming film

From an interview with Superherohype

 

 

Now that Gal Gadot of the "Fast & Furious" franchise is locked to star as Wonder Woman alongside Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman in Batman vs. Superman, it’s time to consider the possibility that the narrative could veer in the direction of the Superman/Wonder Woman comics in which the Man of Steel and the Warrior Princess are a super-power couple.

While talking to Amy Adams about David O. Russell's American Hustle, she took the time to tell ComingSoon.net's SuperHeroHype about how she’d feel if Wonder Woman’s presence led to a love triangle:
"Am I interested? I don’t know. I mean, we’ll see. I hope that I can be involved with a woman on screen where we’re not in a love triangle. That would be fun. Maybe where we team up together and we work as teammates instead of adversaries."

Considering the source material has now covered both a romantic and platonic version of the Superman-Wonder Woman relationship, it could go either way and there is a possibility Adams could get what she wants to a degree. The idea of Lois Lane feeling threatened by Wonder Woman’s presence, but Superman insisting she means nothing to him right before all parties team up to fight a common enemy seems like a likely option.

Check out the clip  here of Adams discussing the possibilities for the July 17, 2015 release below and keep an eye out for our full interview with the American Hustle star on ComingSoon.net as we near that film’s December 13th limited release.

American Hustle is a story about a  brilliant con man, Irving Rosenfeld who along with his British partner and lover, Sydney Prosser  are recruited and forced to work for an FBI agent, Richie DiMaso  who pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia that is as dangerous as it is enchanting. The operation eventually involves the Mayor of Camden, New Jersey, Carmine Polito  caught between the con-artists and Feds. Irving's wife, Rosalyn,  could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world crashing down
