Above: 10 Rules Actress Gal Gadot Had To Follow To Keep Her Acting Role As Wonder Woman.
Gal Gadot’s name has become synonymous with her on-screen characterization of Wonder Woman – or what many have dubbed the long-awaited embodiment of female power within a male dominated universe (both literally and thematically). So much so that her youngest daughter is apt to announce on the playground that her mother is, in fact, the iconic superhero.
Though her live-action portrayal of the Amazonian warrior would not come until many years later, Gadot’s early life resembles what one might dream up for a young heroine. In 2004, she was chosen as Miss Israel and represented her country in the subsequent Miss Universe pageant. Though she looked the part, Gadot was less than interested in the scepter-toting responsibilities that come with the Miss Universe Crown. She went on to serve as a soldier in the Israeli Defense Forces for two years as a combat trainer before officially pursuing a modeling and acting career. Continue reading →

In Wonder Woman, Lucy Davis, the phenomenal British actress and comedian, plays Etta Candy, Diana’s best friend in the comics and Steve Trevor’s secretary (and an ultimate comic relief) in the Wonder Woman movie. Lucy Davis talks about her top secret movie audition, being a different size than women we normally see in superhero movies, and whether her character has a future in the Wonder Woman movie franchise.
Etta Candy is a fictional character appearing in DC Comics publications and related media, commonly as the best friend of the superhero Wonder Woman. A spirited, vivacious young woman, Etta first appeared in Sensation Comics #2 (1942), written by Wonder Woman’s creator William Moulton Marston.
Enrolled in the fictional Holliday College for Women (and often accompanied by her fellow students, “the Holliday Girls”), Etta would become a constant feature of Wonder Woman’s Golden Age (1938-1955) adventures, effectively functioning as both the hero’s sidekick and her best friend. Unapologetically proud of her plus size figure (and vocal about her love of sweets), Etta’s appearance was a stark contrast to the svelte, small waisted women depicted in most comic books, and Etta was a brave and heroic leader who was always supporting her friend Wonder Woman.

Though appearing less frequently in the Silver (1956-1970) and Bronze Age (1970-1984), Etta was a recurring presence in Wonder Woman’s supporting cast throughout both periods. Etta would be re-imagined in March 1987 by comics writer and artist George Pérez as part of his reboot of the Wonder Woman mythology.

Which do you think is more difficult: walking down a fashion runway in high heels and lingerie while wearing a pair of massive, heavy Victoria’s Secret Angel wings or stabbing a soldier with a sword while simultaneously riding on horseback down a beach? For any normal human being, each of those options likely sounds pretty terrifying. However, if you’re Dutch supermodel Doutzen Kroes, it is just an average day at work.
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel has a small role in the $821+ million dollar (in worldwide ticket sales) Wonder Woman movie directed by Patty Jenkins, where she plays Venelia, the right hand of Queen Hippolyta and one of the fierce female warriors known as the Amazons who inhabit Diana Prince’s (played by Israeli actress and fashion model Gal Gadot) all female island home of Themyscira (also known as Paradise island).

About The 2017 Superhero Movie Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman (2017) features movie actresses and actors Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Connie Nielson, Robin Wright, and David Thewlis. Wonder Woman (2017) is directed by Patty Jenkins. In Wonder Woman (2017), Gal Gadot returns as the Amazon warrior princess known outside Paradise Island as Wonder Woman in this epic action adventure film from movie director Patty Jenkins.
Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot named Steve Trevor crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers, and most importantly her true destiny.
Jenkins’ movie opens as World War I pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) and his plane crash on Themyscira, the island of the Amazons, where the Princess Diana (Gadot) has been trained by her aunt, the great warrior Antiope (Robin Wright).

The Amazonian training that Wonder Woman received helped her to develop a wide range of extraordinary skills in strategy, hunting, and fighting. Wonder Woman possesses an arsenal of advanced technology, including the Lasso of Truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, a tiara which serves as a projectile, and in older stories, a range of devices based on Amazon technology. Although Diana is 5,000 years old, her first exposure to non-Amazon society as Wonder Woman only happened within the last 100 years. While the Amazons were originally created to protect “man’s world,” they ultimately abandoned it for different reasons.

Wonder Woman Versus Wolverine | Which Superhero Would Win In Battle?
Wolverine (born James Howlett and commonly known as Logan and sometimes as Weapon X) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, mostly associated with the X-Men. Wolverine is a mutant who possesses animal senses, enhanced physical capabilities, a powerful regenerative ability known as a healing factor, and six retractable bone claws in his hands. He has been depicted as a member of the X-Men, Alpha Flight, and the Avengers.
Wolverine is a mutant with a number of both natural and artificial improvements to his physiology. Wolverine’s primary mutant power is an accelerated healing process (typically referred to as his mutant healing factor) that regenerates damaged or destroyed tissues of his body far beyond the capabilities of an ordinary human. This is why most people can not agree on which superhero would win in battle: Wonder Woman or Wolverine. Although Wolverine’s body heals, the healing factor does not suppress the pain he endures while injured. Wolverine, on occasion, has also deliberately injured himself or allowed himself to be injured for various reasons, including to free himself from capture, intimidation, or for strategic purposes during battle.
