There is no objective way to prove that another actor would have been a “better” Wonder Woman than Gal Gadot. But several actresses offer credible alternatives, depending on what a viewer wants from Diana: warrior credibility, dramatic range, a distinctive screen presence, or room to grow into a long-running role. The names below draw on fan-casting lists, not an official DC shortlist; the ranking and criteria are editorial judgments.
How to judge a Wonder Woman fancast
A persuasive choice has to do more than look the part. Wonder Woman needs to project authority and physical confidence while also making Diana’s compassion, vulnerability, and idealism feel convincing. Action experience and previous franchise work can help, but neither proves that an actor would outperform Gadot. Career stage also matters for a role that could span multiple films.
The candidates below come from a 2013 fan-art list and three 2025 entertainment lists, which make different selections rather than establishing a definitive pool. Their published rationales are attributed where relevant; the order here is my own, based on the mix of performance qualities each might bring to the role.
The strongest alternatives
1. Adria Arjona
Arjona appears on all three 2025 lists. Their casting cases point to her work in Andor and Hit Man, action roles, and previous work with James Gunn. That combination makes her an interesting choice for a Diana who can move between grounded drama and superhero spectacle. It remains a fan-casting argument, not evidence of a studio decision.
#1 Best Overall
- Read Before You Buy — No Video Output: These adapters support charging and USB 2.0 data transfer, but cannot transmit video signals. Except for standard USB webcams (which use USB data only), they are not compatible with HDMI/DisplayPort cables, video-capable USB-C hubs, or docking stations with video output.
- Convert USB-A Ports to USB-C: Designed to connect USB-C earphones, cables, flash drives, card readers, and other USB-C accessories to standard USB-A ports. Plug-and-play with no drivers or software required.
- Aluminum Alloy Housing: Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy shell that aids in heat dissipation and protects against daily wear and scratches. Designed to maintain a stable and secure connection.
- Compact & Travel-Friendly: The ultra-compact design allows the adapter to stay plugged into your device without blocking adjacent ports or adding bulk, reducing wear and tear on your original USB ports.
- 12-Month Warranty: Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. Designed to meet strict quality control standards for reliable everyday performance.
2. May Calamawy
All three 2025 lists also include Calamawy, citing her work in Moon Knight, action capability, and screen intensity. She could suit an interpretation that emphasizes a focused, formidable warrior while leaving space for emotional complexity.
3. Charlee Fraser
Fiction Horizon and ComicBasics both point to Fraser’s appearance in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and her action-ready, warrior-like qualities. That is a clear physical-performance case for Diana, though action credentials alone cannot settle whether an actor has the warmth and dramatic range the part requires.
Rank #2

4. Melissa Barrera
Barrera appears in both 2025 fifteen-actress lists and in ComicBook.com’s eight-person list. The coverage invokes her franchise-leading and high-stakes dramatic work, while ComicBook.com also notes her experience across horror, musical, and dramatic roles. That breadth supports a version of Diana whose intensity does not crowd out her humanity.
5. Alexandra Daddario
Daddario recurs across all three 2025 lists. The cited case draws on Percy Jackson, The White Lotus, large productions, and prior DC voice work. Her mix of genre familiarity and dramatic experience makes her a plausible alternative, though voice work is not the same test as carrying the character in live action.
Rank #3
- Sleek 7-in-1 USB-C Hub: Features an HDMI port, two USB-A 3.0 ports, and a USB-C data port, each providing 5Gbps transfer speeds. It also includes a USB-C PD input port for charging up to 100W and dual SD and TF card slots, all in a compact design.

- What You Get: Anker USB-C Hub (7-in-1), welcome guide, 18-month warranty, and our friendly customer service.
6. Lucy Lawless
A 2013 fan-art list named Lawless because of her role as Xena and her experience playing a warrior. That is perhaps the most direct thematic comparison on the list: she has already made a mythic fighter feel at home on screen. It is a compelling fan-cast, not a measured comparison with Gadot.
7. Jaimie Alexander
The same 2013 list cited Alexander’s role as Sif in Thor: The Dark World and fan support for the idea. Her existing superhero-fantasy experience makes the suggestion easy to picture, although playing a supporting warrior and leading a Wonder Woman film would demand different things.
Rank #4

8. Erica Durance
The 2013 list pointed to Durance’s portrayal of Lois Lane and her image as a strong character. The appeal is less about a specific action résumé than the possibility of bringing confidence and authority to the role.

Fan casting is not casting news
The lists are editorial speculation, not an official DC casting roster. Recent GamesRadar reporting said the new Wonder Woman film was being written, with casting apparently some way off. A separate report covered an unofficial poster featuring Arjona and Gunn’s response to speculation; it did not establish that she had been cast. No candidate on these lists should be described as confirmed without a primary announcement from DC Studios.
The title’s “better than Gal Gadot” framing is therefore a counterfactual opinion, not a verdict supported by comparative measurements. Gadot’s portrayal is the reference point; the alternatives are interesting because each could tilt Diana toward a different balance of action, vulnerability, warmth, and authority.
