At Rhode Island Comic Con Gadot talked about what it was like to put on the Wonder Woman costume for the first time during Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
“Tight. Very, very, very, very tight.”
“The very-very first time I tried the costume on was three days after I got cast. And they flew me to Michigan, and I got into this huge hangar. Huge, with tons of white walls covered with posters of me as Wonder Woman. I got into the room and I couldn’t stop looking at the posters. And then, when they wanted me to try on the costume—because I was so excited that they cast me for the role—I couldn’t say anything; I couldn’t breathe, but I was like, ‘That’s okay. That’s fine.’ It was really-really tight, and we adjusted it. And I love the costume. I think, it complements Wonder Woman very much so, as being the greatest warrior out there. And now it’s much more comfortable.”
Gadot also talked about meeting Lynda Carter for the first time.
“I saw Lynda, so I couldn’t keep my coolness…I was like, ‘Lynda, oh my God, I’m so happy to see you, to meet you, finally.’
“My English got completely broken for a second there…I’m not surprised, you know, it’s very clear to me why she was the very first Wonder Woman to be cast, because she is such an inspiring, beautiful, happy, funny, strong confident woman who immediately makes you, you know she makes you feel comfortable around her, and she’s eye level, she’s great.”
During the panel she also shared that she jumped right into the production of Justice League after Wonder Woman wrapped. A few weeks into production she got pregnant and got “heavy migraines from the green-screens.” Gadot kept the pregnancy a secret as long as she could until Jason Momoa figured it out.
