When an actor receives a comic book movie role, they tend to research their hero or villain by diving into the latest or classic comics. In her interview with Total Film Magazine, Gal Gadot opened up about her research and history with Wonder Woman.
"Wonder Woman's a household name, I think, everywhere. She's an icon. I wasn't born during the Wonder Woman show with Lynda Carter, so I didn't get to see that, but I did watch the cartoon. And of course, after I got the role, I started to watch all the Lynda Carter series with Wonder Woman and she was fantastic. I absolutely love her. But it was a no-brainer. Everyone in Israel knows who Wonder Woman is."
During the interview Gal was asked about Lynda Carter's interpretation and how it differs from that of her own version.
"I think that the Lynda Carter version was very relevant back in the '70s. Now, Zack Snyder is in collaboration with Patty Jenkins, who's going to direct [the solo Wonder Woman] movie. All of us want to evolve the character because what you saw back then, you've already seen. So we're going to give it another layer of interpretation and make her a bit more relevant and up to date."
I'm curious to see how much they "evolve" the character of Wonder Woman and whether or not that means more than just modernizing her for today's audience.
