You cast Carano in that movie and it would've absolutely tanked. She couldn't even manage to play (essentially) herself worth a damn in Deadpool and in a Fast and Furious movie she still managed to look out of her element. She got blown off the screen by Vin Diesel, FFS...
This isn't about needing an Oscar caliber performance - but you can't have someone that friggen terrible carrying a $100 million marvel property.
I think Marvel made a weird call (made even stranger by the fact that Gadot's accent was so uncoachable that they had to make all the other Amazonians speak with that weird caricature of a vaguely Russian accent to make it 'part of the character'), but Carano would've been an even worse one and ultimately Gadot's done a nice job with the part.
