Wonder Woman, which was released in UK cinemas on June 1 this year, is the highest grossing live action movie to be directed by a woman and one of the highest earning films of the year.

Patty Jenkins, who helmed the first film, is reportedly in negotiations to return for the second.

Gadot was first seen in the role of Diana of Themyscira in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice and is the first actress to play the part on the big screen.
