The 28 year old star opposite Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, and Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne, with Man of Steel director Zack Snyder and writer David S. Goyer both returning.

The casting confirms Warner Bros.' ambitions to transform the DC Comics universe into a mega-franchise, a la Marvel Studios' cinematic universe, but it is unclear whether Gadot's role is substantial or a glorified cameo meant to point to an upcoming Justice League movie.

Regardless, the Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman movie — which needs to get its title soon, already — is set for a July 17, 2015 release date.
