'Man of Steel 2' News & Spoilers: Gal Gadot Training for Wonder Woman in Israel [VIDEO]
Gal Gadot has already begun training for her new role as Wonder Woman in Man of Steel 2.
Personal trainer Mark Twight, who trained Henry Cavill (who played Superman), Michael Shannon (General Zod) and Antje Traue (Faora-Ul) for Man of Steel, is currently training Gadot in her home country of Israel. Gadot, who has a smaller frame, is training for the muscular role of Wonder Woman ahead of the 2015 blockbuster Man of Steel 2.
Twight tweeted a photo of Israel this week with the caption, "My neighborhood for the next little while."
The new Wonder Woman outfit will allegedly be made of armor, according to reputable Latino Post blogger El Mayimbe.
"Gal Gadot's WONDER WOMAN outfit will consist of ARMOR. Not the Lynda Carter itty bitty outfit. I hear it looks dope," Mayimbe tweeted.
There have been very few depictions of Wonder Woman in live-action film or television, with Carter's '70s TV series being the most widely-known portrayal.
Man of Steel 2 is scheduled to start shooting in February. Some of the film's other stars include Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck in his debut performance as Batman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White and Diane Lane as Martha Kent.
The film is unofficially titled Batman vs. Superman for now, though Warner Bros. will likely announce an official title soon. Despite this title, the film is reportedly still a Superman-centered story, despite the presence of Affleck's Batman.
Man of Steel 2 is scheduled for release in theaters on July 17, 2015.
