Ever since it was announced that model/actress Gal Gadot had been cast as Wonder Woman in the upcoming untitled Batman vs. Superman film directed by Zach Snyder, many responses have been heard except from Gadot herself.  Well the wait is over as our new Wonder Woman was recently interviewed on the top entertainment show in Israel called Good Evening with Gai Pines.  In the interview Gadot talks about the casting news, fan reaction, training, and more.  Here is a snippet of the interview which was translated by into English by Batman News reader Maxim:

Where were you when you heard the news that you’d been cast as Wonder Woman?

I was just on my way to shooting at LA. I landed at NY in a connection flight when my agent, Hadass Lichtenstein, called me. She says to me “Wonder Woman!” and I’m like “What??” – “The role is yours!…and it’s a secret and the news are not yet announced and you can’t tell anyone…”. I’m saying to her “Are you serious??”- and we both scream! Now it’s a plane from Israel to NY and I can’t make loud noise, and so I lean on a window, bending down to my legs, and just try to understand. Long story short – I was totally alone in NY, I got to a hotel at 12 pm, I needed to wake up in the morning for shootings. I remember laying in the darkness by myself, staring at the ceiling, and I was telling myself “It’s not real!”…it shouldn’t be like that, I’m supposed to be like… “where’s the champagne?”.

It’s been said that you’re too skinny for the part. Wonder Woman is large-breasted, is that going to change?

Hmm. I represent the Wonder Woman of the new world. Breasts… anyone can buy for 9,000 shekels and everything is fine. By the way, Wonder Woman is amazonian, and historically accurate amazonian women actually had only one breast. So, if I’d really go “by the book”…it’d be problematic.

So you’re not going to gain a little weight and start eating carbs before filming begins?

It’s the physical preparations that I’m starting now. A very serious training regimen – Kung Fu, kickboxing, swords, jujutsu, Brazilian…1,000 and 1 things…I’ll gain body mass.

You can watch the full interview here. Keep in mind that it’s all in Hebrew.  I love Gadot’s responses to the interviewers questions.  It’s basically and FU to all the folks out there who body shamed her. We’ll see the end the result when Batman vs. Superman hits theaters in 2015.
