Israeli actress Gal Gadot showed off her fierce fighting skills in the much-anticipated first official trailer for the movie “Wonder Woman.”

In the clip, Gadot’s character uses her superhero power to fight against multitudes of men who come at her with guns and cannons.

Gadot, 31, grew up in Israel’s central city Rosh HaAyin. The 2004 Miss Israel winner did her compulsory two year service in the Israel Defense Forces, after which she went on to study law.

Her previous film credits include the “Fast & Furious” series and “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” in which she also played Wonder Woman.

Gadot is married to Israeli real estate developer Yaron Varsano, with whom she has a four-year-old daughter.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’re near the end of our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we have a very ambitious goal of $127,000 by April 21.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
