Kate Beckinsale has revealed that she was attached to the 'Wonder Woman' project when it was still in its early stages of development. She claims that she was asked to play the role of Wonder Woman several years before Gal Gadot took on the role. 

As reported by Variety, Beckinsale shared, "Yes, there was a period of time, a long time ago, when Joel Silver was involved with it". Silver has been known to produce several huge action movies such as 'Lethal Weapon', 'The Matrix', and 'Predator'. However, despite this, Kate had her doubts and suspected that Silver's version would have turned out to be an embarrassment. "It would have been a terrible movie based on the script that I read," she said.
