After recently providing a promising production update, Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot has now teased a bigger role for Lynda Carter in upcoming DC sequel Wonder Woman 3. Discussing the project in a recent interview, Gadot took the time to praise the previous Wonder Woman actress for mentoring her in the role of the superhero icon, before revealing that her return in the threequel will be “even better this time.”

Wonder Woman 3 was confirmed back in December last year, with director Patty Jenkins recently revealing that she will be back in the director’s chair, with Gal Gadot and Lynda Carter set to star. “We’re super excited about Wonder Woman 3. Gal (Gadot), who is so bummed about not being here, who’s the busiest person in the world, with now three little kids and shooting,” Jenkins revealed during the recent DC FanDome. “We are all three very excited about some things coming up with Wonder Woman 3,″ the filmmaker teased.

“First of all, Lynda has mentored me from the very first moment that I got cast as Wonder Woman. She was always there, talking to me, giving me tips and everything. She’s a true champion of what Patty and I have been doing, and it was so great that we managed to find the right opportunity to bring her to the last movie and now to the third one. It’s even better this time. I love her very much. I love her dearly.”

Plot details for Wonder Woman 3 are currently under wraps, but Gadot has previously expressed her desire to follow Diana Prince into the modern world. “I wouldn’t go, like, to the ’60s or to the ’40s with Wonder Woman,” Gadot told MTV News last year. “I feel like the past has been handled well, and now it’s time to move on.” This comes to us courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter.
