Long before actor Gal Gadot brought a new take on Wonder Woman in recent Warner Bros. films, there was the beloved 1970s Wonder Woman TV series main actor Lynda Carter.
Now, thanks to this compelling and fake video, fans can see how Carter would look like Wonder Woman in Wonder Woman 2017 movie.
Deepfakes are fake videos that convincingly show people who seem to be doing or saying things they never did.
The deepfake video, by YouTuber DeepFaker, shows Carter as Gadot’s Wonder Woman training on the isolated island paradise of women now known as Themyscira, meeting Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) for the first time, fighting soldiers and showing off his superhero skills in other memorable action scenes from the first Wonder Woman movie.
On the other hand, DeepFaker also posted an impressive fake video of Gadot replacing Carter in the original ’70s Wonder Woman TV series.
The original Wonder Woman with Carter series spanned three seasons, from 1975 to 1979. The first season originally aired on ABC and had Wonder Woman come to America in the 1940s during World War II disguised as Diana Prince, assistant Major Steve Trevor (Lyle Waggoner).
When CBS picked up seasons 2-3 of the show, the title changed to The New Adventures of Wonder Woman and it happened during the 1970s instead of the 1940s.
This deepfake video with Gadot replacing Carter in the retro TV series looks incredibly perfect. For a while Wonder Woman 1984 was not a big hit among fans, maybe a new Wonder Woman movie with Gadot in the 1970s TV series setting would be better?
If these fake videos make you want to see more of Carter as Wonder Woman, everyone 60 episodes of Wonder Woman’s original live show is available for streaming on HBO Max. Both of the latest Wonder Woman films are also available to watch on HBO Max.
