Actresses Played Wonder Woman Before Gal Gadot

Wonder Woman film made by Patty Jenkins is the first time the character of Diana Prince was appointed in the big screen movie. The main character is played by Gal Gadot, who also appears at least in two other films in the same franchise.

Before the Wonder Woman version of Gal Gadot, Diana or Wonder Woman characters have been lifted to an American television series and dozens of animations. There are also some project plans for the television series. Two of them are only up to the pilot movie stage.

Many actresses have been involved for the role of William Moulton Marston's super hero. There are live-action live actors, some are just as voice acts or animated character models. Here are at least four actresses of the live-action version before Gal Gadot.

1. Ellie Wood Walker and Linda Harrison

Both actresses were cast for the 1967 television movie project titled Who's Afraid of Diana Prince. Ellie became Diana and Linda became Wonder Woman. There is no island of Themyscira and Queen Hippolyta.

William Dozier, producer of Batman and Green Hornet TV series, wants to lift another hero to a 90-minute movie, Wonder Woman. According to Wonderland Site records, the plan failed because the script did not match expectations. While Ellie and Linda have been playing in a five-minute sample show.

2. Cathy Lee Crosby

The actress and former tennis athlete plays Diana in a 1974 Wonder Woman television movie. The 78-minute movie is intended as a consideration for ABC TV channel to make it serial.

However, it does not proceed and reaps a lot of negative responses due to quality issues. The film became Warner Bros.'s first project for Diana's character.

Vincent McEveety became director and the script was written by John DF Black. Kaz Garas plays Steve Trevor and Charlene Holt as Hippolyta. The three-minute cut of this movie is uploaded by the WarnerArchive channel and is publicly accessible.

3. Lynda Carter

Lynda Carter became the most successful actress in the role of Wonder Woman. He appeared in one sample film (1975) and 59 episodes of the TV series (1976-1979). Everything is aired on ABC and CBS America channels. The DVD version has also been released by Warner Home Studio.

According to Wonderland Site records, the studios intend to look for an actress who can make people forget about the two previous projects. Popular actress Joanna Cassidy was glimpsed, but the choice fell on Lynda, a newcomer. The story of this series is made close to the comic version.

The production was performed with The Douglas Cramer Company and Bruce Lansbury Productions. Lyle Waggoner became Steve Trevor. While Beatrice Colen became Etta Candy, Steve's secretary.

Patty Jenkins Inspiration Make Wonder Woman

Many directors use other films as their inspiration, however, what about Wonder Woman? Is there a movie that inspired it?

The first World War Setting used by Wonder Woman has indeed raised doubts for many people, especially if we know that Diana is not a cold-blooded killer. However, thanks to the help of other directors, Patty Jenkins was inspired by how to tell history without making the Princess look like a murderer!

From the beginning Patty Jenkins did not want her film to get an R rating, but, unfortunately it could not be avoided. Everyone knows that the First World War was the most brutal war in history - and ignoring the fact is tantamount to changing history. Fortunately, Jenkins managed to get the inspiration she needed while watching Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones movie. Like what exactly is the way he does? Here's the director's comment!

Patty Jenkins Inspiration Make Wonder Woman

"I really wanted to show the First World War as a real thing. However, there is no reason to show violence in the war. Fortunately, one of the movies I've seen many times is Indiana Jones. They can show the fight against the Germans perfectly! Despite the firefight, we never saw Indiana Jones as a murderer, he is still an archaeologist we love. They managed to show the battle scene without hurting the image of the main character, and this is what I'm trying to do. "

Like Wonder Woman, Indiana Jones: The Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade used the First World War as its main setting. Although we see Dr. Jones killed the German troops who were blocking his path, we never once considered him a murderer. According to Patty Jenkins at a press conference she did earlier this month in Los Angeles, it was this point of view and thought that was essential for her to apply in the Wonder Woman. When asked about how he used to show the First World War in his film, Jenkins explained that he got inspiration from the legendary franchise made by Steven Spielberg.

From the various reviews and news that began to appear about the film, it seems that Patty Jenkins successfully runs its mission successfully. Although Wonder Woman will still have a very stressful scene, the film never shows Diana as a cold-blooded killer. We can still see the good in her, however, when the situation requires her to be aggressive, she does not hesitate to do so.

We have watched Wonder Woman starring Gal Gadot on the big screen, and how successful the film is. Do you think Patty Jenkins has managed to run her mission perfectly? Or is there a scene you think should not have happened?

4 Characters Become Enemy Wonder Woman

Like Batman and Joker, or Superman and Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman also has a perpetual enemy that always makes trouble. However, only a few enemies managed to make the princess of Themyscira overwhelmed. Ranging from fellow gods to humans with unique abilities. Here are 4 characters who may be the enemy of Wonder Woman in his debut film debut.

4 Characters Become Enemy Wonder Woman

1. First Born

The newly emerging character first appeared when the New 52 series began. First Born was the first child of Zeus and Hera before Diana, however, the prophecy said that the birth of First Born would be a ruin for Olympus and death for Zeus. Hera who knew of Zeus's plan to kill her son, sent his son to live on earth. First Born then hates Zeus who tried to kill him and start a war with Olympus. However, the defeat of First Born actually makes himself confined by Zeus in the earth. After 1000 years, First Born finally freed from his cage and again made troops to take over Olympus.

The latest Wonder Woman film will take the New 52 timeline, which means there is a possibility of appearing from various new characters. What makes First Born interesting is when he was expelled from Olympus by Hera, no one else knows himself other than Zeus and Hera. This can be a pretty unique storyline for the Wonder Woman movie. Is it in this film that we will see the struggle between descendants of fellow gods?

2. Circe

Teleportation, magical powers, and can turn into animals are some of the strength of this character. Circe is one of the strongest goddesses in the DC world. With his magical powers, since his debut in 1949 Circa has made trouble for Wonder Woman and many other DC superhero characters. One of his plans was to pit the gods in the DC world to one another and start the war of the gods. Circe is also included in a row of enemies who had managed to beat Wonder Woman.

Although Circe more often uses the ability of illusion to defeat Wonder Woman. Circe's ability to use a powerful psychic attack can make Themyscira's daughter overwhelmed. To defeat him even Wonder Woman requires Lasso of Truth and some other magical weapons. Who would not want to see Wonder Woman using his magical instruments in the devotion with this goddess?

3. Ares

Like Circe and many other Wonder Woman enemies, Ares was a god described by George Perez in the early 1980s. Born as a God of War, Ares was a manifestation of various negative things in warfare. As the name implies, Ares is one of the strongest fighters in the DC world. Despite having great physical strength, Ares is known for having the ingenuity that makes many DC characters especially Wonder Woman confused.

Although in the comics New 52 Wonder Woman and Ares have a close relationship, it would be more interesting if Ares remains the enemy figure for Wonder Woman. The battle of both of them must be no less great than when Zod fight in Man of Steel. Plus, Ares's manipulation ability can be an interesting story plot for Wonder Woman's premiere. The attractive appearance and cleverness made Ares naturally earn a place in the Wonder Woman story.

4. Cheetahs

The original form of Cheetah is an archaeologist named Barbara Ann Minerva. She betrays the Wonder Woman by stealing the power of the gods. Unwittingly, this power also brings the curse of turning it into a Cheetah. Because it is still a grudge with Wonder Woman, she finally uses her strength to fight it.

If Batman has a Joker, Superman has Lex Luthor then Wonder Woman has a Cheetah. There are some characters who could use the cheetah name, but the most interesting is the figure of Barbara Ann Minerva. Archaeologists who use the power of magic to transform themselves resemble a cheetah has an obsession to steal Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth, although she finally decides to focus more on defeating Wonder Woman.

What is interesting about Barbara's figure is that her personality not only relies on her power to destroy, but also her ingenuity in acting, makes this one cheetah figure much more memorable to Wonder Woman fans. The Cheetah appearance in the Wonder Woman movie will feel like fanservice, however, only if the appearance is done correctly. Although at first glance looks like a good idea, a small mistake in Cheetah personality can be fatal to this movie.

Attention now goes to the Wonder Woman (2017) movie that has been released a month ago. Characters that have appeared on the big screen are Gal Gadot and Chris Pine, who plays the couple Princess Diana and Steve Trevor. Of the 4 Wonder Woman enemy characters above, it has been proven, who is the enemy in the inaugural Wonder Woman movie. Yes...Ares!!
