Despite the fact that it continues to bring in the cash (even though sales plunged during its second week), we know by now that Batman v Superman wasn't all that good. Nevertheless, one of the best things about the superhero flick was Gal Gadot's debut as Wonder Woman. Although we won't being seeing the famed Amazon princess in her own film until the summer 2017, Gadot has fortunately spoken up about her upcoming movie, promising that it's going to be "pretty dark." 

It's a characteristic that's been applied to both Batman v Superman and its predecessor Man of Steel before. It's also an attribute that's been given to superhero movies in general as of late, perhaps in an attempt to make us take them more seriously. Hopefully in this case, however, "pretty dark" won't mean dull for Wonder Woman. Speaking to Digital Spy about the movie, Gadot said

In Batman v Superman, you get a glimpse of who she is but not where she comes from. In Wonder Woman, this would be the first time we ever tell the coming-of-age story of how Diana becomes Wonder Woman. It’s very interesting. It has moments of humor, but it’s pretty dark.

Directed by Patty Jenkins, who directed Charlize Theron in her Oscar-winning performance in MonsterWonder Woman will be the origin story of Diana Prince, an immortal Amazon princess. The film also stars Chris Pine as her love interest, Lucy Davis, Connie Nielson, and Robin WrightWonder Woman not only marks the first time a woman leads a superhero film, but it's also the first DC Comics adaptation to be directed by a woman. So at least we're guaranteed something different. 

Before landing the massive role the Israeli actress starred in several of the Fast & Furious films. She will also appear in the both Justice League movies, which will be released in 2017 and 2019.
