With Gal Gadot hanging up her lasso, the iconic role of Wonder Woman is wide open—and Hollywood is brimming with fierce contenders. Whether they bring raw physicality, graceful charisma, or emotional depth, these ten actresses each offer something special to the next era of Diana Prince.
Ana de Armas – The graceful powerhouse
Cuban-born Ana de Armas has quietly become one of the most versatile stars in Hollywood. From Blade Runner 2049 to her Oscar-nominated turn in Blonde, she’s proved her range and grit. But her brief, unforgettable role in No Time to Die showed she can absolutely hold her own in action scenes—fast, fierce, and elegant. With her schedule recently freed up, and her charm perfectly balanced with toughness, she could be a bold new face of the Amazon warrior.
Adria Arjona – The emotional warrior
Let’s be honest, Adria Arjona deserves more credit. She’s taken her hits in the blockbuster world (Morbius, anyone?), but her powerful performance as Bix in Andor revealed just how much emotional nuance she brings to a role. She blends resilience, vulnerability, and steel-eyed focus—exactly the cocktail that makes Diana Prince compelling. And if James Gunn’s offhand praise is any clue, she might already be on the radar.
Eiza González – The cool tactician
Had things gone differently, Eiza González could have been Catwoman. Instead, she’s carved out a career playing characters who are more than just eye candy—tough, intelligent, and often walking the moral grey line. From Baby Driver to Ambulance, she’s shown she can handle action with emotional weight. Her recent turn in 3 Body Problem proved she’s more than just a pretty face—she’s a scene-stealer with brains and brawn.
Sofia Boutella – The survivor
If anyone’s earned a Hollywood redemption arc, it’s Sofia Boutella. Her breakout in Kingsman turned heads, and though The Mummy flopped, her commitment never wavered. She’s been a star in waiting for years, and despite Netflix’s lukewarm response to Rebel Moon, her performance there shows she’s got the presence to lead. Playing Wonder Woman could be the comeback story that finally gives her the spotlight she deserves.
Anamaria Vartolomei – The rising force
Still flying under the radar internationally, Anamaria Vartolomei is already a critical darling in Europe. Her role in Happening won her major accolades, and she’s proven adaptable, from intimate drama to full-on sci-fi in Mickey 17. She’s young, but not green. Her recent performances show maturity, quiet intensity, and physical command. If DC is after a fresh start with a younger Diana, she could be just the right balance of heart and edge.
Simona Tabasco – The wild card
If charisma were a superpower, Simona Tabasco would already be headlining her own franchise. Her breakout as Lucia in The White Lotus revealed an actress who’s radiant, unpredictable, and utterly magnetic. She’s not the obvious choice, and that’s the charm. She could bring a more playful, conflicted version of Diana to the screen—one still learning how to lead, or torn between Themyscira and the world of men.
Monica Barbaro – The firebrand
Monica Barbaro isn’t just ready—she’s overdue. She’s been inching toward stardom with roles in Top Gun: Maverick and FUBAR, but her portrayal of Joan Baez in the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic might be the tipping point. She’s sharp, commanding, and can deliver biting one-liners without flinching. In other words, she’s got all the makings of a formidable, wise-cracking Wonder Woman.
Charlee Fraser – The wild warrior
Relatively new to the scene, Charlee Fraser burst into view in Furiosa with an intensity that was hard to ignore. Her raw physicality and gravitas stood out in a world packed with chaos and dust. Like Gadot before her, she has the modeling background and the stature—but what’s more impressive is her quiet, dangerous energy. She could easily channel a Diana who’s rooted in Themyscira’s earth, unshaken and proud.
Katy O’Brian – The modern Amazon
Katy O’Brian is a former cop, martial artist, and bodybuilder turned actress—and honestly, who’s more qualified to be Wonder Woman? Her turn in Love Lies Bleeding showed she can handle complex roles with both subtlety and ferocity. She brings a refreshingly different physique to Hollywood, one that actually resembles a real warrior. If DC wants a reimagined Diana, physically commanding and emotionally layered, O’Brian would be a fascinating pick.
Rebecca Ferguson – The seasoned queen
Okay, Rebecca Ferguson is already a sci-fi staple thanks to Dune and Mission: Impossible, but hear us out. Imagine a slightly older Diana, someone who’s seen battle, lost love, and perhaps ascended to leadership among the Amazons. Ferguson could embody that with grace and weight. Her regal presence, maturity, and sheer screen power would make for a captivating, wise Wonder Woman—perhaps even a mentor to the next generation of heroes.
Whether DC goes bold or familiar, youthful or seasoned, one thing’s clear: the next Wonder Woman has big boots to fill—but she’s definitely out there.
Meet Bill, a curious mind with a rebellious streak and a shared enthusiasm for lifestyle and culture. Like his longtime collaborator William, he’s captivated by the pulse of current events. But Bill brings a twist, he thrives on spontaneity, often following instinct over convention. His unconventional flair adds a dynamic edge to the team, making every project a little less predictable and a lot more exciting.
