Gal is hard at work on the sequel to the immensely popular superhero movie Wonder Woman, entitled Wonder Woman 1984.

Starring Gal Gadot as the Amazonian warrior once again, Wonder Woman’s next big screen adventure sees her battle an all new foe, The Cheetah, played by Kristen Wiig.

The upcoming movie – which is set in 1984 against the backdrop of the Cold War – is being helmed by Patty Jenkins, who also directed the 2017 blockbuster hit, and she will also produce the movie alongside Gal, as well as Charles Roven, Deborah Snyder, Zack Snyder, and Stephen Jones.

The hotly anticipated sequel is set to hit theatres in November next year.

Meanwhile, actress Lynda Carter – who starred as the iconic superhero character in the Wonder Woman TV series – recently revealed she has been holding talks with Patty about appearing in the sequel in a cameo role.

She said: ‘That is up to Patty Jenkins, I’ve been talking to her about it.

‘She has given me some hints about it and I guess it’s up to Warner Bros if they want to spend the money.’
