Wonder Woman: Gal Gadot reveals surprising truth about her audition – 'It was TORTURE'

The actress will soon be seen leading the iconic DC Comics  character’s own outing, after first making her bow in Batman V Superman.

However it seems she didn’t know what she was in for when she first screen-tested.

“When I auditioned for Batman v Superman, I didn’t know it was for Wonder Woman,” she told W. 

“The director, Zack Snyder, asked me to do a camera test. That was torture. 

“They were looking at six or seven girls, and we were all in separate trailers and were told to stay inside until they called us. 

“Waiting is my enemy Number One, and I was losing my mind. So, I decided to put on Beyoncé. Who runs the world? Girls! 

“I just started to dance, and I let my anxiety go. Thank you, Beyoncé!”

Wonder Woman has a lot of positive buzz behind it but has a noticeably smaller opening box office forecast than other recent DC movies.

Earlier this month it was said to be on course for an $83 million opening weekend, lower than both Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad.

Wonder Woman is currently projected to rake in a still-decent total domestic haul of $225 million.

The movie is out on June 2.
