As DC ramps up their expanded cinematic universe in an attempt to loosen Marvel‘s grip on nerd hearts everywhere, details continue to trickle out slowly about next year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The Comic-Con trailer was well-received, and gave fans everywhere a bit more reason to be optimistic after the decidedly mixed reactions to Man of Steel. While fans aren’t entirely sold on Ben Affleck’s Batman or Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor yet, fan response to Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman has so far been positive.
Unfortunately, there’s still a significant amount of time until Dawn Of Justice‘s theatrical release, so most details are being kept under wraps. Gadot recently gave an interview to Teddy Wayne at Interview magazine and answered questions about Wonder Woman without giving much information at all.
WAYNE: “That is clearly a case where you can have a very strong role, not just for your daughter but for women around the world, since this will be the first female-carried superhero movie in more than a decade. You’ll become something of an emblem, I would imagine, of cinematic feminism. Do you see this as a big opportunity to advance how we portray women on the screen?”
GADOT: “Oh, my God, I’m so excited about this role. I feel like I’ve been given a huge opportunity to inspire people, not only women. And not because of me but because of who Wonder Woman is and what she stands for. There’s a lot of responsibility. But I have the best team and the best people to work with. It’s going to be an amazing ride, knock on wood.”
Gadot also expounds on motherhood, growing up in Israel, and blowing off a role in a James Bond film, and it’s worth a read. Hopefully fans will get more details about her take on Wonder Woman soon. Until then, they can continue to speculate on what Batfleck’s voice will be like.
