Lynda Carter on Gal Gadot Playing Wonder Woman

First up, she talked about the enduring appeal of Wonder Woman: “There’s an identification factor. She’s not your average superhero. It’s not so much about her super powers as it is about her ethic. I always thought of her as a figure who stands for what’s right. We all know what’s wrong with the world today, so maybe we need her right now.”

Asked if it would be strange seeing someone else player her, she added: “I don’t think so. It was a long time ago. I care more about the character continuing than holding on to my piece of it. I hope she has fun with it.”

And what about the fact that Wonder Woman will be in a film that already has Batman and Superman? “And maybe that’s better. She won’t have to carry the whole film. It takes the pressure off. I wish her well. I’m just glad she’s going to be out there again. Maybe she’ll get her own show again.”
