Gal Gadot Had a Different DC Hero in Mind When She Auditioned for the Wonder Woman Role

HaydnSpurrell HaydnSpurrell Anticipation is building, particularly for Gal Gadot's iteration of the iconic Amazonian warrior Wonder Woman for her first appearance on the big screen.

Despite Gal Gadot haven't taken the role on completely, openly committed to portraying the character with the appropriate commitment, she didn't actually think she was auditioning for that particular role, initially.

She was not clued in as to who she was auditioning for, only that it was a Zack Snyder-directed Warner Bros. project, and assumed, understandably, that she was testing for another iconic character.

"I mean, I could have guess. I thought it was going to be Selina [Kyle], you know?" the actress told Empire. Given Anne Hathaway's Catwoman played a prominent role in The Dark Knight Rises, the character is fresh in everybody's minds. Which is probably why they're less interested in reintroducing her so soon.

Gadot only found out about the role when she flew in to test with Ben Affleck, and described her excitement that it was actually Wonder Woman she'd be playing. Her dream role was always to play an "empowered, independent woman who doesn't rely on men."

Wonder Woman makes her big screen debut on M arch 25 in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
