Gal Gadot brought life to Wonder Woman when the DCEU was struggling. The film could have felt like just another superhero origin story, but Gadot’s performance gave it heart. She made Diana feel genuine through her strength and innocence. Her commitment to justice and unwavering belief in good made her relatable. Without her, the story might have felt predictable and uninspired. Gadot carried the film with charm and conviction. She turned it into a cultural moment that revitalized the franchise.
