Gal Gadot about WW84
With Wonder Woman 1984 rapidly approaching in both theaters and on HBO Max, the virtual publicity tour is going full steam. In light of that, Star Gal Gadot recently discussed with the press how her character has evolved since the first film. She notes that while she was more isolated in her beliefs in the first film, Diana has now settled in to her new world.
…In the first film, she’s looking at humanity from the outside, and speaking up when things are not right, and emphasizing how it should be. In this film, she completely and fully understands the complexities of humankind because she is a part of them now. She’s in her full power, and yet she’s lonely, and she suffers from the same problems that everyone else suffers from. So, it gave me a lot to play with, and it was a very different experience than being new and being the fish out of water in the first film. Now I am more experienced, I’ve been there, I have more knowledge and all of that, and now something happens to me.
Portraying Strong Women
For Gadot, this character progression is a welcome challenge for her as an actor and her desire to portray strong women:
I think that it was a very good decision that Patty, Geoff Johns, and Dave Callaham made with the script. And, and it was delightful to play. I love strong, powerful women, and I love to play them and to see them onscreen, but there is something more interesting to me to show the flaws, the imperfections, and the vulnerabilities. This is something that I always look into doing when I portray Wonder Woman.
