Gunn: Height Not a Priority in Wonder Woman Casting
James Gunn clears Wonder Woman casting rumors, says height is not a factor in DCU role selection · livemint.com

James Gunn, from DC Studios, said that height is not a big deal when picking who will play Wonder Woman in the new DC movies.

Fans wondered if the actress had to be tall like Superman, but Gunn said talent matters more.

He's looking for the best person for the job, not just someone who fits a certain height.

The new Wonder Woman movie is still in the early stages, so there's no actress picked yet, and it's unclear when the movie will come out.

Co-CEO of DC Studios

“I don’t think extreme height is the most important factor in casting WW. That’s all I said earlier as well. I never said I didn’t feel good about her being taller than Superman – I just said that would never be what I considered most important in her casting”
