But exactly how difficult was it to fight in such an elaborately violent and shiny costume that comes consummate with gigantic metal wings?
"I accept a love- hate human relationship with information technology," Gadot confessed with a express mirth, during a video interview with CNA Lifestyle. "As far as the Golden Armour goes, it was not comfortable."

I was so happy I did it! Y'all simply forget how much you've suffered, but considering information technology looks so pretty."
And "pretty" it sure did expect in the movie, with the fight scenes coming across as a beautifully choreographed trip the light fantastic, specially with cast newcomer Kristen Wiig equally Cheetah.
Was information technology hard to fight with Wiig, especially since the pair have famously get such good buds?
"The physicality part of it was difficult because there's so much to recollect about– like how to motility and to do information technology without hurting her," admitted Gadot. "It's a lot."
"But working with Kristen was the best because she made everything and then delightful. She's fun, funny and a generous partner and it was and then much fun. We would work in the mode of the character: On 'action' we will do everything. But on 'cut', we would be like 'Oh my God, are you okay? Did I hurt you lot? Okay, let's sing, let'south dance and let's lose ourselves!' It was just fun."
