It may not be as destructive as Ben Aflleck’s, but Gal Gadot’s casting as Wonder Woman was not accepted with fanfare either. While the Internet constantly complained about her skinny built (as opposed to the Amazonian’s muscled physique), the Israeli former-beauty queen kept her silence.
Well, until recently. As Gal Gadot has spoke about the preparations she is making to be physically fit to play DC’s premiere female superhero.
The filming will not start until a next year, so Gadot is now on a full workout and diet regimen to bulk up to be able to demonstrate and female warrior-ish figure.
"It’s the physical preparations that I’m starting now. A very serious training regimen – Kung Fu, kickboxing, swords, jujitsu, Brazilian…1,000 and 1 things…I’ll gain body mass" said the actress.
With the mere mention of sword training, it is difficult not to think that Wonder Woman might be brandishing a sword (and a probably a shield) in the movie, as this is one of the best portrayal of the Amazonian princess in the comics and cartoons. As for the “1,000 and 1 things”, we really don’t know. Probably using a lasso.
And when asked about her small breast size, Gadot just confidently responded (as beauty queens always do)"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.”
