Wonder Woman, the fourth DC Extended Universe installment, is less than a year away from hitting the theaters. The Patty Jenkins venture wrapped up filming last month, but a photo from the set surfaced on the web recently. The photo, dropped by Kitana FanPage on Facebook, reveals the addition of a new actress to Wonder Woman's cast roster.
It's the Canadian martial artist, stuntwoman, and actress Samantha Jo who can be seen in this set photo dressed as an Amazon warrior. Is she serving as a stunt double? No, the actress, who is best known for portraying Kitana in the web series Mortal Kombat: Legacy, has a role in Wonder Woman.
According to her IMDb profile, Samantha Jo is playing a high ranking Amazon general named Euboea. In Wonder Woman comics, the character is a minor one, but she has appeared in no less than 39 issues., and is a good friend of Diana Prince. Euboea possesses all of the powers and abilities that an average Amazon has. She is especially known for being a champion swimmer. Check out the set photos below!
