While the Barbie Land ultimately landed on Margot Robbie‘s capable shoulders, Gal Gadot’s words sparked a conversation about empowerment and cinematic impact. Gadot in a talk show mentioned:

“I must say that when I was watching the second Wonder Woman and it started with its sequence of young Wonder Woman fighting all of that, I got so emotional. It was like me seeing and being an eight-year-old girl watching an amazing girl doing amazing things. That was so emotionally effective on me.”

Absolutely, the mystery remains unsolved unless Gadot herself spills the beans – was her playful comment a Greta Gerwig-specific zinger, or just a whimsical jest?

Margot Robbie, the charismatic actress who secured the role of Barbie, revealed that both she and Greta Gerwig, the acclaimed director, once entertained the thought of casting Gadot as the iconic doll. However, fate had different plans, as Gadot’s unavailability necessitated an alternative choice. The spotlight then shifted to Robbie, whose acting prowess and diverse roles made her a suitable contender to wield the mantle of the beloved toy.
