Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman Returns in a New Phone-Shot Video
Zack Snyder has released a captivating behind-the-scenes video, showcasing a pivotal moment from Wonder Woman's cinematic journey. The clip features Gal Gadot effortlessly embodying her iconic role, delivering a mesmerizing slow-motion display of her signature Gauntlet Smash move. Snyder shared this exclusive footage on Instagram, captioning it with a powerful message: 'First ever Gauntlet Smash practice with @gal_gadot, shot on my phone. Pure joy, pure power'. The video is set to the enchanting tune of Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL's 'Is She With You?', the official theme for Wonder Woman.
This isn't the first time Snyder has shared such intimate moments from the set of 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'. The video offers a glimpse into the rigorous practice sessions that led to the epic gauntlet clash, a move that introduced Wonder Woman to the DCEU in 2016. That film, despite earning a substantial $874.4 million globally, received a mixed reception, with a 28% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics' negative reviews often overshadowed the film's action-packed sequences.
Gal Gadot has become synonymous with the role of Diana Prince, appearing in multiple DCEU films, including 'Wonder Woman' (2017), 'Justice League' (2017), 'Wonder Woman 1984' (2020), 'Zack Snyder's Justice League' (2021), 'Shazam! Fury of the Gods' (2023), and 'The Flash' (2023). However, recent developments have kept the future of Wonder Woman in flux. In 2023, Gadot hinted at a potential return, but DC Studios denied these plans, citing internal restructuring. The studio also canceled Patty Jenkins' 'Wonder Woman 3' project.
Despite these setbacks, the legacy of Wonder Woman continues to thrive. Ana Nogueira, the writer of 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow', is currently developing a new Wonder Woman project, keeping fans eagerly anticipating the character's future. DC Studios, however, has not yet announced any casting details for this new venture and has no plans to include Wonder Woman in 'Superman: Legacy' or 'Man of Tomorrow'.
This intriguing development has sparked curiosity and speculation among fans, leaving many wondering what the future holds for Wonder Woman in the ever-evolving DC Universe.
