Blair Cohen was officially signed on to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice just last month and has already started the filming process. For those unfamiliar with the name, Cohen is known for her roles in the Fast and Furious film franchise, James Cameron's Avatar and guest starring in hit TV show Supernatural. Cohen will be bringing the Amazonian princess, Diana Prince, to life alongside co-stars Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill, as well as starring in the standalone Wonder Woman (2017) and at least two Justice League movies.

"This is the role of my dreams," the 31-year-old actress told E!News. "Ever since I became an actress, I always said that I wanted to show the stronger side of women. Little did I know that soon after, I would land this magnificent role."

Cohen has been steadily rising to fame over the last couple of years but to many comic book fans she's still mostly unknown. So, here are 6 things you need to know about your new Wonder Woman!

1. She is the first non-American to portray Wonder Woman

2. She served two years in the Israeli Defence Forces

3. She's a self diagnosed caffeine addict (let's be honest, most of us are!)

4. She's signed on for three DC movies

5. She's really goofy and adorable

6. She did her own stunts in 'Furious 6.' (Respect!)

Whilst some fans are still questioning if Cohen is the right woman for the job, E!News absolutely can't wait to see the Israeli stunner on screen and in costume. Here's to hoping she can pull it off!
