Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman has become the star of "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" and fans have become more excited with the superheroine's standalone movie; in a recent interview, however, Gal Gadot commented that Wonder Woman would be "very different" in the standalone movie.
Speaking with Los Angeles Times, Gal Gadot said that she knows how vital her role would be as a female lead hero in an industry dominated by male superheroes.
"I know how many people care for this character," Gal Gadot told LA Times. "This is such an iconic character. It's as big as it gets for a woman."
The model-actress said that Zack Snyder, upon casting her as Wonder Woman, allowed Gadot to "color" Wonder Woman with colors she thought were right for the superheroine.
And when asked about the "colors" she put on her portrayal of Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot said, "You know Wonder Woman, she's amazing. I love everything that she stands for. She's all about love and compassion and truth and justice and equality and she's a whole lot of woman. For me, it was important that people can relate to her."
"Being all that, I wanted her not to be too, ah, 'goody two shoes,'" Gadot added. "I wanted her to have this attitude. I wanted her to have a smirk when she fights Doomsday. I didn't want her to be too polished. I wanted her a little bit darker, a little bit dirtier."
Gadot also noted that the Wonder Woman the fans saw in "Dawn of Justice" is a lot different from the standalone movie.
She said, "The Wonder Woman you're going to see in 'Batman v Superman' is a very different Wonder Woman that you will see in the standalone movie."
"The Wonder Woman that you see in 'Batman v Superman' is a woman who has been around, and she's very experienced. She understands a lot about man. Whereas in the standalone movie we are telling the grown-up story. Diana becoming Wonder Woman, and this was a story that was never told before. When she starts this journey, she's very pure. She's more naïve, she's this young idealist who does not really understand the complexities of life and the complexities of men," she added.
The Mary Sue, in its report, said that this reverse in the process of introducing Wonder Woman would be more interesting as it would also expose different sides to her character.
