25. She didn’t get her own feature film until 2017

Maybe this is the most unbelievable thing of all. Wonder Woman has been around for more than seven decades. She’s been the star of many different comics, including numerous series in which she was the title character. On the small screen, she was played in live action by Lynda Carter and in multiple animated series such as Super Friends and Justice League.

Yet, any further attempts to get a live-action version of Wonder Woman off the ground have met with disinterest and resistance. A 2011 television pilot for NBC went nowhere. A CW attempt fizzled out only a couple of years later. Apart from a few animated feature films, the big screen has been similarly unfriendly.

Israeli actor Gal Gadot portrayed Wonder Woman in the character’s first live-action movie appearance, in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It only took more than 70 years for her to finally make her way onto the screen as a supporting character.

2017 marked the first time that movie audiences would see Wonder Woman in a live-action feature film focused entirely on her story. Gadot returned as Diana, along with Chris Pine as Steve Trevor for a follow-up film in 2020, Wonder Woman 1984.
