It wasn’t very long ago that Fast And Furious leading lady Gal Gadot became the center of some heavy criticism from the genre fanboy bickersphere of the interwebs regarding her recent casting for the role of Diana/Wonder Woman in director Zack Snyder‘s upcoming Batman/Superman movie. Well, this week, the Israeli former-turned-model and actress also set to star in the upcoming crime thriller, Triple Nine, continues to silence the naysayers with a new photo flexing some muscle stemming from her kung fu/kickboxing/weapons/BJJ training in preparation for Snyder‘s new film which is set to begin filming in Michigan sometime in the Spring.

Following up the blockbuster success of Snyder‘s 2013 release, Man Of Steel, the new film sees Gadot joining lead actor Henry Cavil reprising his role as Clark Kent/Superman and actor Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman from a story by David Goyer and script by Chris Terrio, partly inspired by comic book artist and author Frank Miller’s 4-issue 1986 miniseries, “The Dark Knight Returns”. Actress Amy Adams returns for the role of Lois Lane with Diane Lane and actor Lawrence Fishburne return to play Martha Kent and Perry White, respectively. The role of Lex Luthor will be portrayed by Jesse Eisenberg with Jeremy Irons starring as Alfred Pennyworth.

The as-yet-to-be-titled Batman/Superman movie will release in theaters on May 6, 2016 courtesy of Warner Bros., with Gadot also set for two more films as Wonder Woman in a titular standalone film for her character, as well as the Justice League movie which is currently in the works.

Stay tuned for more info, including a possible reveal of the new costumes in the next few weeks.
