Gal Gadot as Wonder WomanZack Snyder released the first look of Wonder Woman in the upcoming Batman-Superman movie and we must say that Gal Gadot looks absolutely kick-ass as the Amazonian Princess Diana. Of course, playing Wonder Woman is no easy task. She is easily the most iconic female superhero of all time, an Amazonian Princess who can hold her own with world's greatest superheroes but Gal Gadot seems to be an apt choice for the role.

The former Miss Israel does have a rocking hot body and has also undergone mandatory military service. She said in an interview how she kept fit: 'Just keep active everything that's challenging me, everything that I feel like doing. It's not like I'm only TRX or Pilates. I do sports.'

But she absolutely loves TRX because it works her whole body and says she'd rather do cardio than weights. About her diet she said: 'I try to eat healthy. But sometimes though, I eat cheeseburgers. That's good for the soul. I make sure to balance everything out. I drink tons of water.'

Gadot also added that in preparation for the role she was learning different fighting styles. She said: 'It's the physical preparations that I'm starting now. A very serious training regimen Kung Fu, kickboxing, swords, jujutsu, Brazilian 1,000 and 1 things I'll gain body mass...Wonder Woman is amazonian, and historically accurate Amazonian women actually had only one breast. So, if I'd really go 'by the book' it'd be problematic.'
