Posted by Neil Cole
Prior to the confirmation that actress Gal Gadot had landed the role of Wonder Woman in "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice", Ukranian actress Olga Kurylenko ("Quantum of Solace") was among those who were being considered for the part of the iconic character.
At the recent red carpet premiere of "The November Man", Desde Hollywood managed to catch up with Kurylenko and ask her about losing out on landing the role.
"If I could have been [Wonder Woman]? Well, because, everyone was saying that it was a possibility. It did cross my mind," stated Kurylenko. "But it's fine, you know. There are many other roles. I am very happy for the girl that's got the part. I am looking forward to seeing it."
Kurylenko stars as Alice Fournier opposite Pierce Bronson in "The November Man" which is based on the 1987 novel, "There Are No Spies".
"Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" stars Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman, Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, and Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth. Holly Hunter, Callan Mulvey, Tao Okamoto, and Scoot McNairy also star in yet-to-be-confirmed roles.
The film is scheduled to hit theaters on March 25, 2016.
