September 17, 2015: Why Gal Gadot Turned Down "Man of Steel" Villain Role

Gal Gadot In an interview with the Israeli website Xnet, Gal Gadot revealed that she nearly missed out on becoming Wonder Woman when she was offered the role of a female villain in "Man of Steel".

The English translation reads: "When I was a month pregnant with (my daughter) Alma, I got an offer to be the evil Superman character. If I wasn't pregnant I'd take the job, and there's no way they would take me now to be Wonder Woman."

From all indications the "evil Superman character" may well have been the role of Faora (played by Antje Traue) in "Man of Steel". I guess Gal has her daughter to thank for ending up with the more iconic role of Wonder Woman.
