Director of the film, Patty Jenkins, shared this awesome tweet where a school teacher has noted out the change brought in by the Amazonian Princess. Not only is she the ultimate professional when it comes to being an actor (some of the conditions we filmed in were tough & she never complained once) – she has the most kind, most caring, attractive soul – she truly is everything Wonder Woman embodies. Could they be more adorable? I mean, it is Chris Pine – he’s just being honest.

“This is really going to change things within the industry, especially for super-hero movies, because there are some great wonderful female super-heroes”, says Finch, lamenting the lack of a Black Widow film. One of the students refuses to answer to anything except the name “Wonder Woman” and honestly, that’s something I would have done as a kid. In the film, “Wonder Woman” hails from a mystical all-female island territory. Gal Gadot will appear in Justice League, which premieres November 17, 2017.
If you haven’t noticed, there’s a tidal wave of girls (and even boys) wanting to stand up and be strong, and thanks to a new blockbuster movie, they all want to dress up like Wonder Woman and run around saving the world. So true. So powerful. “Gives me a huge drive to dive in and work on the next one”, she added.
It’s important to note, though, that Gadot would not have been given the role of Wonder Woman, had director Patty Jenkins had her way.
Gadot isn’t the only comic-book icon to have been faced with such a production hurdle: Scarlett Johansson had to complete work as Black Widow on Avengers: Age of Ultron with the aid of stunt doubles and some clever CGI, after she learned she was pregnant with her daughter Rose Dorothy Dauriac.
When Diana asks if Steve is an average man (since she’s never met another man before), he gets a bit flustered and hilariously admits he’s probably above average. How many bullets can she fight?’ And I kept saying, ‘It’s not about that. “After I shot ‘Fast Four, ‘ my husband Yaron and I started traveling back and forth from Israel and the USA, which was hard”, she told TotallyJewish.com. And I said, “And how do you think they should be, Alma?” “On close-up I looked very much like Wonder Woman”, Gadot told EW. Then there was the girl who made her parents cancel her Beauty and the Beast themed birthday party so she could party down Amazon style.

Gadol is superb in the lead role, her battle ready statuesque looks mixed with real heart and winning chemistry with Pine makes for compelling viewing.
