Gal Gadot has been wowing audiences throughout 2017 as Wonder Woman, but she was a nervous wreck ahead of the standalone film’s release.

The actress broke the glass ceiling with the role in Patty Jenkins’s treatment of the superhero, loved by critics and fans.

But the wait for the review was nerve-wracking, according to her own admission.

“It was a Thursday evening and I knew they were lifting the embargo for the reviews at 9pm. Usually, I’m not in the loop when the studio is lifting the embargo,” she wrote in Entertainment Weekly.

But after reading the reviews, Gadot could not keep her excitement to herself and called up Jenkins.

“And the moment I called Patty she answered the phone, it didn’t even ring. She immediately picks up. She’s all, ‘What’s going on? I’ve been meditating for 20 minutes, not reading anything, literally waiting for you to call me,’” Gadot wrote.

“I was just screaming: ‘Ahhhhh!’ She said, ‘It’s good? It’s good?’ I said, ‘It’s unbelievably amazing! I can’t believe this is happening to us right now!’”
