Gal Gadot has been talking about landing the role of Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, revealing that the music of Beyonce helped her through the audition, and stating that criticism of her appearance hasn’t really bothered her.
Speaking to Israeli website Ynet (which we were alerted to via a translation on Batman-News.com) Gadot explained that she was incredibly nervous before her first audition opposite Ben Affleck:
“When I got there they put me in a trailer and after all the hair and makeup I had to wait a few hours. Waiting is auditioner's biggest enemy. I called [my husband] Yaron and told him I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t calm down. He told me ‘Gal, put on Beyonce. Move around. Don’t sit there frozen.’ I put on Diva and started dancing. Just when the song ended, I was all flushed, there was knock on the door calling me in.”
As for claims that she doesn't have the right build for the role, Gadot said “When I was younger I could take criticism really hard. But now it mostly amuses me. The true Amazons had one boob so it won’t bother them in their archery. So it’s not going to be like real Amazons. We always try to make everyone happy but we can’t.”
As for the film’s take on the character, Gadot revealed “She has unbelievable endurance. She is exceptionally strong. She can jump really high and practically fly. She knows tons of martial arts styles. She is a strong and serious woman.”
