Gal Gadot will first be featured in Batman Vs. Superman prior to her Wonder Woman standalone movie and Justice League.
Gadot, who previously had roles in the Fast and Furious movies, is more known for being an Israeli supermodel, which is what caused a lot of controversy amongst the hardcore fans.
When Gadot was announced as Wonder Woman, some on the internet complained she was too skinny for the role.
Now in a new interview, Gal Gadot responds to the critcism (via robotunderdog).
I’m really lucky nothing in my life was instantaneous. When I was younger I would take criticism really hard. But now it mostly amused me. The true amazons had one boob so it won’t bother them in their archery. So it’s not going to be like real amazons. We always try to make everyone happy but we can’t.
Gadot continues by commenting on the fact that her breast size became a matter of international discussion.
No. After they asked me here, In Israel, if I have eating disorders and why am I so skinny, they said my head was too big and my body was like a broomstick I can take anything. It’s just empty talk. I understand that part of what I’m doing means being exposed. And part of being exposed is being under fire (criticism).
The actress also recounts how she leared she got the part.
I never had to wait so long for a reply. It was a month and a half of torture. It was a crazy roller-coaster. I couldn’t talk about it to anyone. On the day they promised a reply I was flying to NY for another gig. When the plane landed I saw I had a lot of missed calls. I called my agent still sitting in the plane with the belt on. She told me ‘ Congratulations! You got the part.’ During the flight I set next to a really nice man. A scientist from The Weizmann Institute of Science. He talked the entire flight about quantum physics. Now, imagine me, sitting on the plane, looking for a little piece of privacy, burring my head between my legs and starting to scream ‘Oh my god!’ again and again, because I just can’t believe it. Then I hang up the phone and he looks at me like ‘what just happened?’ and asks if everything is alright. I tell him ‘ I can’t really say anything but you will probably read about it tomorrow in the paper.‘
Gadot also mentions Wonder Woman’s powers, where she says Wonder Woman doesn’t fly.
She has unbelievable endurance. She is exceptionally strong. She can jump really high and practically fly. She know tons of martial arts styles. She is a strong and serious Woman.
