Gal Gadot had a few small movie roles before landing the character Gisele Yashar in the Fast and Furious franchise. After a failed attempt at creating a Wonder Woman series, (starring Adrianne Palicki) a cloud of doubt fell over the character making her big screen debut anytime soon but, Gadot, actress and model was confirmed in December 2013 to play the coveted role of Wonder Woman as well as being signed to a three picture deal which most likely includes Batman vs. Superman, The Justice League film and has left the question of her receiving a solo film for the character.
Note: The last female lead super hero film to feature a major release was Elektra in 2005 so it's long over due.

A relatively unknown actor who's name was also attached to the up-coming Star Wars films, Ray Fisher, has been cast as the role of Cyborg in Batman vs. Superman and the JL film. The teen titan regular is certainly an interesting choice for the team and it will be interesting to see what this newcomer will bring to the character and the movie.
Which brings us to our leads of the Man of Steel Sequel. Henry Cavill will be reprising his role as Superman while Batman will be played by Ben Affleck, which was met by a lot of criticism. While I have strong faith in Zack Snyder's abilities to direct, it certainly was interesting but we can only wait and see how he's going to stack up compared to the recent batman's prolific film run by Christian Bale.
So now that brings us to the final question, who's left? The role of aquaman seems to be most likely in the final Justice League roster. Will we see other famous characters like the Flash, Green Lantern or even Martian Man Hunter or maybe even more vintage heroes like Green Arrow and Hawkman? I'm sure there will be plenty of more news, rumors and casting details to come.
