- Gal Gadot is an Israeli actress and model. As an actress, Gadot is known for her role, which began in 2009, as "Gisele" in "The Fast and the Furious" film series, and for the role of "Diana Prince / Wonder Woman" in the DC Extended Universe, starting with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016).
Gadot played "Wonder Woman" in the movie, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), and is signed for two future sequels, which include the Justice League and a solo Wonder Woman film. Gadot received swordsmanship, Kung Fu kickboxing, Capoeira and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training in preparation for the role. As a result, Gadot's performance as the superhero, which is the first time for the character on film, was hailed as one of the best parts of the, otherwise, poorly-received film.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Pedro Borges

- Her first and second name respectively mean, "wave" and "riverbank".
- I definitely have a strong sense of my Jewish and Israeli identity. I did my two year military service, I was brought up in a very Jewish, Israeli family environment, so of course my heritage is very important to me. I want people to have a good impression of Israel. I don't feel like I'm an ambassador for my country, but I do talk about Israel a lot - I enjoy telling people about where I come from and my religion.
- There aren't enough good roles for strong women. I wish we had more female writers. Most of the female characters you see in films today are "the poor heartbroken girl". That's why I'm so proud of the Fast movies. I feel like Giselle is an empowering woman.
- My height is 178 cm, which explains how I got on the high school basketball team. I was not an amazing shooter, but I ripped them on defense.
- [on Wonder Woman's smirk in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)] I did that. I remember after we did that take, Zack [director Zack Snyder] came to me and he said, 'Did you just have a smirk?' I said 'Yeah.' And he asked, 'Why? I think I like it, but why?' 'Well if [Doomsday's] gonna mess with her, then she's gonna mess with him. And she knows she's gonna win.' At the end of the day Wonder Woman is a peace seeker. But when fight arrives, she can fight. She's a warrior and she enjoys the adrenaline of the fight.
- [on fan's backlash over her casting as Wonder Woman] They said that I was too skinny and my boobs were too small... They said my head was too big and my body was like a broomstick. I can take anything. It's just empty talk. I can understand that part of what I'm doing means being exposed. And part of being exposed is being under fire.
