Turns out that it was important for Gadot for a woman direct the movie. Gadot said that if she worked with a female director, that this would allow them to depict Wonder Woman in a “normal” way. Furthermore, Gadot hopes Wonder Woman will act as a role model for girls. “I feel that I’ve got the opportunity to set a great role model for girls to look up to a strong, active, compassionate, loving, positive woman, and I think it’s so important,” she said.

We should mention that Gal’s parents are Jewish immigrants from Austria, Czechoslovakia, Germany, and Poland. Furthermore, her background is incredibly important to her. “I was brought up in a very Jewish, Israeli family environment, so of course my heritage is very important to me,” she said during an interview with Totally Jewish. “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.”
