Gal Gadot Lassos Flying Bullets In Action-Packed Wonder Woman 1984 Clip

Wonder Woman 1984 is set to be one of the major blockbusters of the year, although up until recently, the fate of the film was largely unknown to fans and producers alike. The superhero sequel to 2017's Wonder Woman was originally slated for release on June 5 before being pushed three times because of the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in March, first to August 12, then to October 2, and finally to Christmas Day. Right now, the film is finally coming to roost, and a new clip dropped on Sunday (December 6) gives fans a deeper look into the action.


In it, Wonder Woman, Diana of Themyscira, jumps from a speeding taxi to chase down trucks filled with armed gunmen. She winds through moving cars, rips a steering wheel through a driverside window, and at one point, snatches a bullet flying by means of the air with her shimmering, golden lasso. The action-packed clip follows the release of the film's latest trailer earlier that day, which depicted a more human side of the Amazonian queen, hinting at a potential love interest.


The new teaser was shared while in the broadcast of the MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time, where its leading lady, the actress Gal Gadot was honored because the ideal she-ro in film history for her work in the Wonder Woman series. That efficiency — for which she earned a rate of $300,000, a sum that paled in comparison to several male actors in similar roles at the time — brought Wonder Woman to a whole new generation of women looking for the representation of powerful female role models in mainstream films.


Once accepting her award, Gadot recognized the importance of the role to series fans, and also its personalized significance. "Thank you so much, MTV, for honoring me with the first-ever golden GOAT she-ro award. It's been one of the primary joys in my life to play this character," she mentioned. "She means so much to me and I know how much she's loved by all of her fans, so to be piece of her legacy is truly, truly, truly special. I'm so excited for Wonder Woman fans to take this next journey with me in Wonder Woman 1984. I can hardly believe we finally get to experience it."


The star-studded show was contained down by the bubbly hostess Vanessa Hudgens. Other honorees while in the 90-minute special included Jamie Lee Curtis because the original scream queen, Kevin Hart for his legendary comedic chops, and the hilarious, dynamic duo that is Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. Later in the evening, the actor Chadwick Boseman, who tragically passed away in August, was honored as a true hero for the ages with a tribute presented by his Marvel co-stars Don Cheadle and Robert Downey Jr.
