Gal Gadot Talks 'Dawn of Justice' Costume: Wonder Woman Couldn't Breathe!

Gal Gadot, who plays Wonder Woman in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, went on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote the film and recounted a cute and kind of scary story about her costume.

The highly awaited Man of Steel sequel will be premiering in just a few days away, and it will set up the first bits of the Justice League as DC tries to catch up with Marvel's multiple Avengers movies.

Gadot visited Kimmel's show last Monday as the premiere of the film approaches, and the host brought up the subject of how different the Wonder Woman costume is to the one in the comics and the old Lynda Carter show. Gadot, who will be playing Diana Prince for the first time in Dawn of Justice, explained the experience of trying on the outfit for the first time.

"Two days after they announced that I'm going to do the part, they brought me into Michigan to try on the costume," Gadot explained to Kimmel. "And I walked into this huge hangar with images of me as Wonder Woman -- which was surreal -- and then they got me into the fitting room and tried on the costume. And I was so happy and so grateful and thankful for being there and doing this role ... that I didn't say anything about the fact that it was so tight that I literally could not breathe."

Though her silence continued, her body told another story, and the people around the fitting luckily realized she was short of breath a little before she passed out.

According to Screen Rant, though, that's not the only problem Gadot encountered with her outfit. Currently shooting the stand-alone Wonder Woman film with Chris Pine and Connie Nielsen, the Israeli actress had to act and do fight scenes in the Amazon warrior outfit, which is pretty short and revealing, during the cold English winter, something that understandably brought a few issues of its own.

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice will premiere on March 25.
