We are going to be introduced to Gadot as Diana Prince for the first time next week in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and she is currently filming the solo film.
The actress reveals that she was so 'thankful' for the chance of landing this role that she did not complain about the fact she couldn't breathe during her first fitting.
Talking about the costume with Jimmy Kimmel, the actress said: "Two days after they announced that I'm going to do the part, they brought me into Michigan to try on the costume. And I walked into this huge hangar with images of me as Wonder Woman - which was surreal - and then they got me into the fitting room and tried on the costume.
"And I was so happy and so grateful and thankful for being there and doing this role... that I didn't say anything about the fact that it was so tight that I - literally - could not breathe."
We are going to be seeing plenty of Gadot as Wonder Woman in the next couple of years with Dawn of Justice, a solo Wonder Woman film and Justice League Part 1 all set for release.
While Gadot already has the Fast and Furious franchise under her belt, it is this role that will truly send her star rocketing and make her a household name.
The actress has teamed up with Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck and director Zack Snyder for Dawn of Justice, which is set to be one of the biggest films of the year.
She is currently filming her first solo Wonder Woman film, which sees her team up with filmmaker Patty Jenkins for the first time. Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen, and Davis Thewlis complete that cast list.
Away from the DC Universe, we are also going to see Gadot star in Criminal in April.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is released 25th March. Wonder Woman is released 23rd June 2017 in the U.S. - no UK release date has yet been announced.
