“I was just stoked that she was down to it,” Levi said.
“She crushes it.
It was really cool that Gal was down to play in our sandbox.”
(After all, the Themysciran princess is also the daughter of Zeus.)
Gadot was more than happy to don Diana’s gauntlets again but scheduling proved tricky.
“She was busy working,” Levi recalled.
“She was shooting something else entirely, so we had a body double on our end.
Then we were able to shoot her stuff on another side.
I think they did a great job seamlessly cutting all that together.
And I love that Billy is so in love with her.
He’s so infatuated, and he’s so nervous!
That was fun to tap into.
It felt like going back to being my 17-year-old self.”
Wonder Woman isn’t the first big DC name to pop up in theShazamfranchise.
Superman appears in the final moments of the original 2019 film, although his face is never seen.
“That’s a really good question,” he mused.
“Maybe Green Lantern?
I’d like to see Green Lantern help us fight the hordes of undead.
I think that would be really cool.”
Notably,Fury of the Godsisn’t the only film this year to have a surprise Gadot cameo.
(Spoilers for another franchise ahead.)
As for Gadot’s future as Wonder Woman?
That remains in question.
Time will tell whether Gadot will pop up in another, yet-to-be-announced project or whetherShazam!
