WONDER WOMAN: Gal Gadot Praises Zack Snyder's "Vision" For Diana Prince; Patty Jenkins Teases Non-DC Project

Justice League star Gal Gadot has credited Zack Snyder with creating the DCEU's Wonder Woman and filmmaker Patty Jenkins has confirmed she intends to reunite with the actor for a non-DC project very soon.

While it was her role as ex-Mossad agent Gisele Yashar in the Fast & Furious franchise that put Gal Gadot on the map, her real breakthrough came after being cast as the DCEU's Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

A small but memorable supporting role saw her Diana Prince team up with the Dark Knight and Man of Steel to battle Doomsday. Talking to Variety, Gadot credits filmmaker Zack Snyder with creating the first big screen Wonder Woman as we know her. 

"Zack Snyder really had the vision for Wonder Woman," she told the trade. "To do the solo Wonder Woman movie with a partner like Patty Jenkins was life-changing. I think we both felt like we were just a vessel to tell a story that is much bigger than us, that the world was ready for - a complete, empowered woman who is strong and at the same time vulnerable."

Wonder Woman was a critical and commercial hit, but Justice League and Wonder Woman 1984 failed on both fronts. The latter marked a disappointing end to her tenure as the iconic superhero, though a largely forgettable cameo in The Flash suggested there were still plans in place for her moving forward. 

The formation of DC Studios and DCU reboot derailed Wonder Woman 3, however, and the threequel has been scrapped (a Paradise Lost TV series set on Themyscira is in the works but doesn't appear to be going anywhere fast). 

Praising Gadot, director Patty Jenkins said, "My favorite moments with Gal have been when she donned the Wonder Woman costume to greet children in need. Of course it’s touching to watch kids seeing their hero come to life, but with Gal, it is not just an illusion of our trade. She is a great actor, but a true star as a person, inside and out."

"There are so many great actors and performers around, but a top-tier, classic movie star who can light up a screen, be your hero, your lover, your friend and your avatar on screen are few and far between," Jenkins continued. "Gal is one of them."

Despite the plug being pulled on the Wonder Woman franchise (James Gunn has yet to reveal how the character will be utilised moving forward), Jenkins teased a reunion with Gadot in the not-too-distant future. 

Saying "there is much, much more" for the two of them to do together, the filmmaker teased, "We are just getting started."

Gadot wasn't asked or perhaps declined to comment on her future as Wonder Woman in this interview, and with the press largely barred from speaking with the Snow White cast, we're not anticipating hearing much from her on that front in the coming days. 

For now, though, it seems she's happy to play the villain for a change. "[Snow White] was different than anything that I’ve ever done because I was playing the villain," she said of the Evil Queen. "She’s so theatrical and so grand and bigger than life...it was a delicious role to play."

Are you disappointed that Gadot's time as Wonder Woman appears to be at an end? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

She’s a stunning women

But her acting is so wooden and dry

Every film I have seen her in she has just zero charisma on screen

I know allot of people I have seen online saying the same thing also so glad I’m not the only one 😂

@RC5616 - Your reply just proves that my statement about your intelligence is true. If you have a problem with the Israeli government go on a different website. This is not the website for talking about what’s happening there. She’s just an actress. OK she stands in front of a camera and she reads some [frick]ing lines and people go and watch it OK she’s an actress she makes movies she’s not launching any [frick]ing missiles at anybody killing babies so if you have a problem with the Israeli government, go on another website and go [frick] yourself. What’s happening there is not right there’s a lot of wrong from both sides. There’s a lot of [frick]ed up people in this world. Doing horrible things to each other. But this is not the website to discuss that she’s just an actress.

@CAPTAINPINKEYE - this is so dumb it hurts. She's not just an actress, they all have to serve in the idf, what do you think they do in the army? What's the sole purpose of the idf? And you said both sides have done wrong, what exactly did the Palestinians do wrong? Fight for their freedom? Tell that to Mandela.

Not terrible casting visually but she’s one of the worst actresses working rn. She was fine in the first few Wonder Woman appearances where she seems disconnected from humanity but by WW84 that was wearing very thin

@Ha1frican - there's many far more worse than Gadot.

@McMurdo - At her level of popularity I struggle to find one as bad. Granted she’s fallen off in the last few years but she was a household name in that 2016-2020 period and it was glaringly obvious she was not that level of star

I thought Gadot did great as WW. I really wanted to see her do a 3rd one but oh well.

@CaptainAwkward - I wasn't impressed with how any of the justice league was portrayed, but she was probably the best of anyone. Afflect and Cavill looked the part the best but I wasn't a fan of how they were written. Supes could have been happier and inspired hope better. Bats just made awful decisions attacking superman and telling everyone he was batman. Diana was closest to how I like her in the comics but Gadot can be a little wooden somethimes. Flash and cyborg were not great. Aquaman was fun to watch but kinda just comedic relief.

I hope they get a decently buff girl to play the next Wonder Woman. Fingers crossed this superman is good

Zack Snyder and Patty Jenkins had two visions of Wonder Woman. Zack’s was this fierce badass warrior that can fight as hard and even harder than the guys and kick ass. Strong, fierce and cool. Patty’s seemed more like if Barbie from the Barbie movie could fight and wore a Wonder Woman costume. She kind of toned down the fierce warrior aspect of Wonder Woman and made her much softer and embrace her femininity. I understand where she was coming from but didn’t feel consistent to who Zack initially brought into his world. Personally, I really dug her being a complete badass warrior. That was the character I grew up with. Patty’s WW wasn’t my jam, especially in the sequel.

@LibraMatter - this!

Patty was in love with the Linda carter version of WW.

@BraveNewClunge - Patty almost declaws WW. I think that works really well with Superman but with Wonder Woman…. Just not a fan. Superman’s humanity is his strength and his boy scout ways are his strength and balance. In Jenkins’ movies it kind of feels like a weakness… idk.

Whatever you think about the Snyderverse or WW's 3rd act...that scene of her walking across No-Man's Land was the definition of iconic. I felt like I was witnessing history...finally Wonder Woman was here and given the respect she deserves. Loved that film.

@Feralwookiee - His version in BVS was his vision and his vision in his 4 hour JL cut is his WW. I wouldn’t completely judge his WW by Jenkins WW.

I thought Wonder Woman was a very good movie. 8/10 stars. I was ready for more.

WW 1984 was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. 1/10 stars. Franchise destroyed.

I am sorry but Wonder Woman was overrated! It was good but Gal Gadot could not carry that film. Chris Pine carried the movie and the third act was very bad.

The complaints singling out Gadot's acting always crack me up considering the infinitely more wooden and unnatural Henry Cavill, the charisma vacuum Ray Fisher, the dramatically talented but mostly over-the-top and cringe Ezra Miller, Jason "in desperate need of a class in basic speaking for film" Momoa, a checked out Amy Adams, etc.

I get Gal's friend with both directors, but I don't get how, as an actress, she can gel with Snyder & Jenkins takes being so diametrically opposed she's playing 2 different takes on Wondy depending on who's directing. I think both directors went way too extreme on their takes, neither really found the balance to capture Diana's character, Jenkins got closest in WW.
