Man of Steel was a very polarizing film for fans and critics, but whether you loved it or hated it, director Zack Snyder's new take on Superman at the very least successfully launched what is soon to become a DC Comics shared cinematic universe. And that's something many fans have been long been waiting for.

Ignoring Green Lantern and putting Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy behind us, the sequel Man of Steel, currently dubbed Batman vs. Supermanis introducing not only the caped crusader but Wonder Woman as well - an iconic character yet to debut on screen theatrically. Gal Gadot earned the honor of taking that role and she'll likely be playing the character for two more films afterwards.

Gadot, recognizable for her key role as Gisele Harabo in the last few Fast & Furious films, brings a real-life military background and a modeling career with her to the role of Princess Diana of Themyscira - if she goes by that name in Zack Snyder and screenwriter David Goyer's cinematic universe. Gadot, while appearing again on the Good Evening with Gai Pines show in Israel, revealed some details regarding her contract with Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment.

Wonder Woman Gal Gadot Discussion

According to the translation by Batman-News' source, the actress will earn $300,000 for her appearance in Batman vs. Superman which leads us to believe that her role may involve minimal screen time or the studio is embracing the Marvel Studios model of signing talent for cheap and for the long-term. She also admitted that her multi-picture deal involves three films.

The ambitious and exciting project begins filming in May giving the film plenty of time to meet its newly delayed release date of summer 2016. Recent rumors, ranging from casting to franchise planning, indicate that the studio may be considering filming Batman vs. Superman back-to-back with Justice League though as per usual, absolutely nothing on this front has been confirmed. If true however, Gal Gadot's intro in BvS will set herself up for a larger part in Justice League where she could potentially be joined by Aquaman and a new Green Lantern - if rumors are anything to go by in this day and age.

Still, it's good for fans to see Warner Bros. planning ahead and taking steps to get more of their beloved key characters on screen. It's just a matter of time now before we see them team together as Justice League against a greater threat. The question now is whether the three-pic deal could ever involve a Wonder Woman solo feature or if she's being reserved only for team-ups. Excited?
