Posting to the social media website Vero, Snyder wrote a single word: “Proud.”
Of course, they say a picture is worth a thousand words and Snyder’s post was accompanied by a new image of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. You can see that image below.
Snyder cast Gadot as Wonder Woman for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice where Gadot debuted in the role. Snyder seems heartened to see the actress he cast in the role take the lead in a film that has become such an instant, record-breaking success.
Snyder reteamed with Gadot for Justice League, which will release in November. Snyder had to step down from post-production on Justice League to deal with a family tragedy, with Joss Whedon stepping in to film reshoots and see the film through to completion.

Before she was Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), she was Diana, Princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, Diana meets an American pilot (Chris Pine) who tells her about the massive conflict that’s raging in the outside world. Convinced that she can stop the threat, Diana leaves her home for the first time. Fighting alongside men in a war to end all wars, she finally discovers her full powers and true destiny.
Wonder Woman is directed by Patty Jenkins, from a screenplay by Allan Heinberg & Geoff Johns, story by Heinberg & Zack Snyder and Jason Fuchs, and stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, Elena Anaya, Lucy Davis, Saïd Taghmaoui, Ewen Bremner and David Thewlis.
Wonder Woman was created by William Moulton Marston for DC Comics. She made her first appearance in All Star Comics #8 in 1941 and has gone on to become a feminist icon and one of DC Comics’ most beloved and recognizable characters. Though she had a popular television series in the 1970s starring Lynda Carter, the Wonder Woman movie will be the character’s first time headlining a film.
