Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar likely made sense at one full point to play Wonder Woman . She was unquestionably kind of a superhero in the iconic seriesBuffy The Vampire Slayer .

Carano probably does n’t hurt too much over not getting the part . She ’s since gone on to become a major part ofThe Mandalorianas the ex - Rebel jolt state trooper Cara Dune . She ’s tough and reliable buthard to say if she ’s likable yet .

Megan Gale

Adrianne Palicki is n’t the only woman to signal on for Wonder Woman and not get to represent her ( or at least be figure ) .
