Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins on how Lynda Carter's portrayal inspired them

Until Gal Gadot came along, Lynda Carter was seen as the definitive live-action version of DC's most famous superheroine; probably because she was also the only live-action version. Point is, Carter made a mark on the character much the same way that Christopher Reeves did as Superman. So what do the star and director of 2017's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wonder Woman think of the actress and the vision t♍hat de✤fined Diana of Themyscira in the '70s?
"They’re big shoes to step into," Gadot told SFX in its latest issue. 🥃"What Lynda Carter did with the character is fantastic and amazing, and I love it. The Wonder Woman that is being introduced - reintroduced - now is different [but] she has a lot of the qualities Lynda Carter brought to the Wonder Woman character of '75."
Gadot admitted that she was too young to real🌺ly grasp the concept and enjoy the show back in the day, but that she still knew about Wonder Woman in the same way that even someone who has never read a comic book would know about Superman.
Meanwhile, director Patty Jenkins confessed a much deeper attachment, saying that the show "meant a lot" to her growing up, and that she has become friends with Carter since working on this new film. "I think she was such a beauti🐟ful embodiment of Wonder Woman," Jenkins said. "Kind, good, beautiful, sexy, strong, moral, all of those things. I think she was so wonderful."
Personally, I wasn't even born by the time the Wonder Woman TV show came to an end, so I don't have any real attachment to the Lynda Carter version. Still, I can understand why someone would, and why they might be hesitant about this new portrayal. It sounds l♈ike those fears are unf🅰ounded, though. "In the same way that Lynda is Wonder Woman as a person, so is Gal," Jenkins said. "They’re both utterly kind, incredibly strong people."
"I’ve sai🉐d so many times, 'Gal, in the worst-case scenario, just be yourself - because you reaꦐlly are so true to the spirit of this character.'"
