Gal Gadot was born and raised in Israel and started modeling and acting in Israel and was eventually discovered by American agents. She held a few movie roles before becoming Wonder Woman.

James Miller High School Student

Grew up in middle America, currently in 9th grade. You saw the movie with your family. You have a mom and dad, two older sisters, and a younger brother. You love DC Comics and of course also Wonder Woman.


Your Task

You think Wonder Woman is amazingly cool and of course a superhero. You don’t really care that she’s a woman – her powers are what make her amazing.

Shelly Stuart High School Student

Grew up in Upstate New York, currently in 11th grade.    


Your Task

You went to go see the movie with your girlfriends because they were all excited about a female superhero movie. You don’t get the hype. It was a great movie, but you don’t agree that it’s a big feminist win, or that she is one of the best superheroes. Yes, she’s strong, but she didn’t end the war with her own two hands. Everything is about teamwork and for her to take all the glory seems wrong. Anyway, Bruce Wayne is still your favorite.
