This comes just after 1970s TV Wonder Woman Lynda Carter said she welcomed a new incarnation of the super heroine. Carter told People magazine on Monday: ‘I think it’s time. It’s cool, it’s very cool. It just adds to the charm and the legend.’

The beauty added: ‘I think it’s great. I’m very hopeful for her to reemerge – I’ve tried to keep her alive a long time.’

Gal recently told chat show host Ellen DeGeneres that as a parent of a four-year-old daughter, called Alma, she’s happy to be playing a strong-female role model.

Asked about how much her little one understands about her character, Gal explained: ‘I’m not sure how much of it she gets…she came to visit me on set many times and one time I was wearing the Wonder Woman costume and then she asked me: “Mummy, if you wear a tiara does that mean you are a Queen and then I am a Princess?”

‘And then I said: “Well it’s complicated…I’m playing dress-up”…she’s really into dress up and she’s really into Princesses.

‘One time I was telling her a story and then she said: “The Prince is always so brave and so courageous and strong,” and I asked her: “What about the Princesses?” – and she said: “Meh” and I said: “Why do you say that?” and she said: “They always fall asleep and then the Prince is the one to wake them up and they do nothing”…that made me feel really good about playing Wonder Woman.’
