Even Marvel actors love Gal Gadot in DC’s new ‘Wonder Woman’

The Patty Jenkins-directed Wonder Woman debut weekend peaked at 0.05 mn in America and it has become the biggest ever opening weekend for a female director. Basically, everyone is in love with the movie, including some other familiar heroes. Critics and audiences agreed that this outing helped put DC Comics Universe back on the radar. Costing about $149 million to make, Wonder Woman received a strong A CinemaScore from audiences.

It’s safe to say that Wonder Woman has officially set the bar when it comes to the box office potential of both female directors and superheroes.

Gal Gadot made her debut as Wonder Woman in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, in 2016.

Wonder Woman’s U.S. haul is the highest opening weekend ever for a film made by a female director.

Wonder Woman has been the reigning badass at the box office since exploding into cinemas on Friday, settings records and majorly inspiring women everywhere.

Gal Gadot plays the Amazonian warrior, Wonder Woman who is being very forceful indeed in a superhero landscape that is nearly uniformly male in the new movie, which has received mixed reviews.

“Any ridiculous notion that a woman may not be suited to direct a big budget superhero movie is hopefully once and for all shattered”, he said.

“What I never want to do is start phoning it in and making things just to show that I can keep my foot in the door and do big movies”.

Wonder Woman begins on Diana Prince’s home island of Themyscira and later moves to a Europe torn apart by World War I. For the sequel, Jenkins wants to bring the superhero across the pond. The movie’s director, Patty Jenkins, is known for her 2003′ Monster starring Charlize Theron. Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Connie Nielsen and Elena Anaya were also seen in the movie in supporting roles.

Yet researchers who have spent years charting the lack of progress for female directors in Hollywood are skeptical much has changed.

And it placed the movie far above the second-leading film, another new release, “Captain Underpants: The First Epic movie”, which took in $23.5 million, according to website Exhibitor Relations.
