Gal Gadot Wants Halle Berry To Play WONDER WOMAN Love Interest In Sequel

Gal Gadot once again weighs in on the recent Wonder Woman sexuality discussion, picking Halle Berry to play the Amazonian princess' love interest in a potential sequel. So much for Steve Trevor...

Back in September, current Wonder Woman ongoing scribe Greg Rucka created a small uproar in pop culture media with his statements regarding his personal belief that Wonder Woman had same-sex relationships before leaving the island of Themyscira.  Of course, for knowledgeable comic book readers that notion is nothing new and is a subject broached by several previous Wonder Woman comic book writers in the past. 

But with Wonder Woman recently regarded as the best thing in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and set to make an even larger impact in the DCEU with Justice League and her own solo film, general pop culture interest in the superheroine is at an all time high.  Hence, Rucka's statements became a talking point for folks who wouldn't know Red Robin from Red Hood.  

Gal Gadot herself was recently asked about the subject last month and stated, "It’s not something we’ve explored [in the film]. It never came to the table, but when you talk theoretically about all the women on Themyscira and how many years she was there, then what he said makes sense. In this movie she does not experience any bisexual relationships." But what about the sequel?

In a new interview, [conducted in Hebrew and translated via Batman-News.com], Gadot took the above sentiments a step further, naming Halle Berry as her preferred pick for a possible lesbian relationship for Wonder Woman in a sequel.  The billionaire, playboy facade Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne keeps up in public would certainly be game for dating a bisexual Amazon ambassador.

Wonder Woman arrives in theaters on June 2, 2017.

Well, this probably won't end up happening, but it does raise the question of when they're going to have a gay lead in a superhero movie. I could imagine Marvel making Iceman gay if they ever get the rights.

@Valdez - Very plausibly. At this point, I'm fine with it. I mean, who really cares about Iceman's love life anyway? The only thing that really would affect in my fandom is old episodes of Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends...

Still, though, Horthstar deserves to be a legit gay icon. The dude has earned it.

@Valdez - Iceman being gay feels like some full circle thing seeing as Ian McKellen encouraged the writers of X2 to write the scene where Iceman tells his parents he's a mutant to resemble a coming out moment.

@Spock0Clock - I feel the same way. I mean, I could understand that people would be mad if they made characters like Cyclops or Wolverine gay, as they have very famous heterosexual relationships, but who really cares if Iceman is gay? I don't even know who his main love interest was before he was made gay.

@Quicker - Yeah, it seems like it would be a wasted opportunity not to have a gay X-Man in the movies, seeing as how being a mutant has been used as an allegory for being gay for a while. Personally, I do actually do hope that they make Iceman gay if the MCU gets the rights, because LGBT people do deserve more representation.

@Valdez - I do care, somewhat. Iceman and Beast in the original five days were basically wingmen and often hitting on pairs of girls. (There was a beat coffee shop called Coffee-a-Go-Go where I believe Bobby dated the waitress or maybe just flirted with her). I know in the cartoon Bobby dated Lorna pretty seriously, but I don't remember it in the comics.

Look, there is absolutely a way to retain that awesome relationship with Hank and Bobby by actually making Bobby closeted in his youth (or even legitimately in denial). Him being gay doesn't mean he couldn't also have been trying way too hard to be straight as a teenager.

@Valdez - Maybe that's why when asked about gay superheroes they keep saying "In the future". They're just waiting to get Iceman and X-Men back.

KF: "There will be a gay character in the future".

@Spock0Clock - To be fair, I haven't really read many X-Men comics outside of Whedon's run, so it makes sense that my opinion might be different than major X-Man fans'. But I think Iceman being gay allows some more new and interesting things to be done with his character.

@Quicker - Yeah, that seems possible. They could also make Colossus gay, like he was in Ultimate X-Men.

@Valdez - Sure, I didn't mean to go all "competitive nerd" about it. Just saying that his early comic history was very overtly heterosexual (acting) in that 1960's Stan Lee kind of way.

I think Gal's figured out the way to distract everyone from her bad acting is to surround herself with people who are worse.

@Spock0Clock - Halle Berry is STUPID FINE but a bad actress. I never understood how she won that Oscar. She actually used to be pretty solid back on the 90s but since then, not so much

@Spock0Clock - You speak so much truth that it's kind of hard not to think of you in my dreams.
