Gal Gadot Beautifully Thanks Wonder Woman On Superhero's Birthday

Gal Gadotwasn’t about to ignore this celebration.

To mark Wonder Woman’s birthday on Thursday (as noted on theDC Universe Calendar), Gadot expressed her gratitude to the superhero she played in a blockbuster movie.

Addressing her as “my amazing amazon” on Instagram, Gadot wrote, “Thank you for changing my life, and for inspiring people worldwide to find their own superpower.”

Gadot doesn’t require a Lasso of Truth to admit that she owes a lot to Diana Prince. “Wonder Woman” hasgrossed more than $821 millionworldwide. With director Patty Jenkins at the helm and Gadot in the lead, the filmbecame a symbolof female empowermentat the box office and elsewhere.

“Wonder Woman 2” is already a go with Gadot and Jenkins reuniting, and at leastone major casting choice has been made.

Perhaps the sequel will land an Oscar nomination ― unlike the original this past January. Then Gadot would have even more to thank Wonder Woman for.

“We want to stay humbleand grateful,” Gadot said after the film was snubbed by the Academy, “and we’re going to have another movie, so who knows? Maybe the next one!”
