The flood of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice news continues, with Gal Gadot speaking to CinePremiere about Wonder Woman’s role in the film, and her dynamic with Ben Affleck’s Dark Knight and Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel.
“I appear in this film just as she is trying to escape her days of being Wonder Woman,” states 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.”
Gadot also shared a few comments on meeting fan expectations and delivering a strong female character: “I really enjoyed this job and my hardest challenge is to not let down anyone. 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.”
Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
