In an interview published on THR.com Wednesday, Gadot praised the work of her director Jenkins.
‘We are all used to having male protagonists in movies [directed by men]. But the way Patty has captured the Wonder Woman character, she is very relatable to everyone. Boy, girl, man, woman — everyone can relate to her,’ she said.
Jenkins also added her own point of view, questioning the presupposition that ‘certain jobs are masculine.

‘But why a director would fall into that [category] makes me very confused,’ she told THR.com. ‘Because it feels like a very natural job for a woman. It’s incredibly maternal in a way. You’re caretaking all of these sorts of things.’
It’s also been revealed that Gal received original Wonder Woman Lynda Carter’s blessing to play the lead role the movie.
When asked if she supported the new movie to ET Online, Carter said: ‘100 per cent. I am the bearer of the torch and now I’m passing it forward to Gal and to Patty.’
And Carter believes she, Gadot and film director Patty Jenkins share a special bond because of the movie.
She explained: ‘The three of us share some sisterhood by living and breathing this character. I really want you all to embrace this.’
Big deal: A lot is riding on the success of the film which is a rare example of a big studio comic book movie directed by a woman and starring a woman
Jenkins has revealed she was desperate to gain Carter’s ‘blessing’ prior to creating the new production based on the DC Marvel Comics, and to receive her ‘guidance’ during the making of the latest movie because she didn’t want the project to be considered an entirely separate entity to the series Carter starred in.
The creative mastermind explained: ‘To get her guidance, as the person who has been carrying the mantle of Wonder Woman for all these years and is the one who inspired so many of us to love Wonder Woman.’
‘I wanted to learn from her. I also wanted her blessing and I wanted her to know we’re not here to do the ‘new’ Wonder Woman. We’re here to try to carry forth something so beautiful that she really brought into the world and we just want it to go into the future.’
