The 31-year-old actress stars as Diana, warrior princess of the Amazons, in the new movie and was overwhelmed when she saw the likeness of her character.

Posting a picture on Twitter, she wrote: "This is absolutely extraordinary - the #WonderWoman @Barbie is here! Who got theirs at #SDCC this year!? (sic)."

The Barbie shows Wonder Woman wearing a gold tiara and a blue cape, while carrying a gold lasso.

Gal recently revealed she took inspiration for the character from the real-life Princess Diana, after watching a documentary on the late British royal.

She said: "She leads from her heart not from her head. And that describes this Diana."

The trailer's official description was revealed at San Diego Comic Con earlier this month and it states: "Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior.

"Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat.

"Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers...and her true destiny."

'Wonder Woman' also stars Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen, David Thewlis, Danny Huston, Elena Anaya and Ewen Bremner.
