Gal Gadot Reveals What It Means to Play Wonder Woman1 of 11
Gal Gadot has spent hours blocking thin air.
It's Feb. 16, 2016, inside Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, outside London, and Gadot is still running on a treadmill in full Wonder Woman costume, with green screen behind her. This scene will mark the character's first reveal in full armor, rising out of the trenches of World War I to cross No Man's Land, using her bracelets to deflect heavy fire. From a nearby monitor, director Patty Jenkins calls out instructions — "small, very controlled blocks," "closer blocking." After each take, the star and director sit at the monitor and see trenches fill the space of the green screen behind Wonder Woman.
A while later, the actress is able to take a break. She re-emerges in casual sweatpants, looking more like a modern-day Diana Prince than an all-powerful Amazon warrior. Gadot served in the Israel Defense Forces, and is now married with a young daughter she references when speaking of her character, which makes a fitting combination for the hard-and-soft of DC's Wonder Woman.
At this point, the film still has about two months left to shoot, including some major scenes. But, for now, Gadot is curled up on a chair at the back of the studio, ready to address questions from the handful of reporters who have watched her run all morning.
