She was in law school when she got an audition for a James Bond film.

TEDDY WAYNE: You're in Atlanta now, filming. Can you describe your role in this movie?

GAL GADOT: This is the first major comedy role that I've done; I had a small role in Date Night [2010]. But it's going great. I'm playing Natalie Jones, who's married to Tim Jones [played by Jon Hamm], and they're spies who work for the agency and are sent to suburbia for a mission. Their cover is blown by another suburban couple, Isla Fisher and Zach Galifianakis. And then everything goes wrong and it's extremely, extremely funny.

WAYNE: Coming out next year as well is Triple Nine. That's not a comedic film.

GADOT: Oh, not at all. I play opposite Kate Winslet and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Both are so talented. That film was also shot in Atlanta. Different vibe, very serious and dark. Kate and I had a very good bond. I'm used to shooting movies that are male-dominated ...

WAYNE: That is clearly a case where you can have a very strong role, not just for your daughter but for women around the world, since this will be the first female-carried superhero movie in more than a decade. You'll become something of an emblem, I would imagine, of cinematic feminism. Do you see this as a big opportunity to advance how we portray women on the screen?

GADOT: Oh, my God, I'm so excited about this role. I feel like I've been given a huge opportunity to inspire people, not only women. And not because of me but because of who Wonder Woman is and what she stands for. There's a lot of responsibility. But I have the best team and the best people to work with. It's going to be an amazing ride, knock on wood.

WAYNE: You said you like to avoid conflict. As you know, superhero-movie fans are notoriously finicky. They're hard to please. Every time a big movie comes out, they quibble and grumble about certain things. I'm sure they'll do it for Wonder Woman. Do you feel like you have a duty to respond to that?

GADOT: No matter what you do, you can never please them all. People will always have something to say because that's the way people are. And it's okay. But for me, it's my job. It's my career. It's my art. Whatever I do, I take it very seriously and I do my research and I give it my best. I just want to be able to shine and inspire people. And it's not just about me. It's the script and the story and the acting. I hope people are going to love it.
 
I really like how enthusiastic she seems about the WW role and how descriptive she is of it.
 
I read somewhere that Olga beat her for the Bond girl role. Gal then returns the favor by beating her for the WW role :funny:

This is true! I've smiled at this myself. One of those little twist of fate moments.
 
I am rooting so hard for her that it's not even funny. I want to believe.

I'm in the same boat & everything thus far pertaining to WW has me sold (BvS in general looks great though, imo). Going to be hilarious to see the "Heath Ledger effect" take hold as haters turn to fanboys.
 
It's interesting that Wonder Woman runner up Elodie Yung (Elektra in Daredevil series) and WW for TV series Adrianne Pallicki both have now joined Marvel Universe.

I think that Gal is far better choice to play Wonder Woman than Elodie Yung, Olga Kurylenko, Adrianne Pallicki and Magan Gale.

BvS looks transcendent. I want it, I want it so bad. And the little we have seen of Gal does look good. From what I've seen more and more people have been taking off their blind hate blinders and seem to be willing to give her a chance. And that's what she deserves.

She's no Charlie Hunnam, but she'll do. :atp:

GADOT: Now I do. Before, I didn't have the privilege to choose what I wanted to do. I just wanted to work. But now I'm in a position where I can actually choose. When I just started as an actress, you go to L.A. and the managers and the agency set up general meetings with directors and writers. They always ask you the same questions: "What are you looking for? What types of movie would you like to do?" And I always said, "I'm open." I'm very open to all different genres because I'm a very open-minded girl. But eventually, I told them that I wanted to be able to show the stronger side of women. I didn't want to do the obvious role that you see in Hollywood most of the time, which is the heartbroken girl who's waiting to be rescued by the guy, blah, blah, blah. I wanted to do something different. Little did I know that I would land Wonder Woman not long after.
 
BvS looks transcendent. I want it, I want it so bad. And the little we have seen of Gal does look good. From what I've seen more and more people have been taking off their blind hate blinders and seem to be willing to give her a chance. And that's what she deserves.

Agreed on all points and it surely is nice to see the haters have calmed, though not too long ago I saw comments from some scrawny teens about how she isn't big enough to be WW. Gotta love the irony there. :woot:

My interest is piqued primarily because I want to know what Diana's role will be...and of course I wanna see how that fight turns out. They better do WW justice & not go out of their way to make her look inferior to Superman.
 

Considering her frame she really did a great job getting into shape for WW. I'm a proponent of toned and athletic build for WW.

Snyder has always done very good job with strong female characters, so I'm excited to see WW onscreen.

You haven't seen Sucker Punch, have you?

I avoided Sucker Punch (because of its bad press). But when I got around to seeing it, I was very impressed. (The movie generated a lot of criticism from feminist quarters. But there are some feminists who loved it and who have written very interesting analyses.)

In terms of Snyder’s success at (female) casting, I thought Emily Browning was… adequate. However, Abbie Cornish and Jena Malone were very good.
