Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice news is coming from every direction, and Cine Premiere Magazine caught up with the big three, Ben Affleck (Batman), Henry Cavill (Superman), and Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman). In her part of the interview, Gadot talks about taking on the role of the Amazonian Princess and what the dynamic is like between the other two members of the Trinity.
"I appear in this film just as she is trying to escape her days of being Wonder Woman," explained Gadot. "When she meets Batman she feels he will be the one to bring her back to her glory days, that dynamic between the three of them if very intense because they fight for the same values. But everyone wants to shine, there is much tension… good tension, I would say." She then went on to speak about her alter ego, Diana Prince. "My other half. It's really the same character; she has everything Wonder Woman has. Now, all women have what Diana Prince and Wonder Woman have, we try to be the best, the best workers, the best wives, and to accomplish it, we need to be greater than whats considered normal."
Gal Gadot's casting as the Princess of Themyscira was if not one of the most controversial castings for Batman v Superman. Fans have criticized her casting in the role and are worried that she might be the weak link of the Trinity. The actress made it clear that she knows that she has to meet the expectations that come with taking on the iconic role that is Wonder Woman. "I have to tell you I really enjoyed this job and my hardest challenge is to not let down anyone," said Gadot. "I know it's hard and you can't control what everyone thinks, but I feel that to really interpret a good Wonder Woman, I have to show everything positive that a woman has. Thats what makes this very easy because once a woman with tons of confidence is empowered, it's very fun."
