Zack Snyder reflects on casting Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in 2013

On Monday Gal Gadot turned 33 years old, and to celebrate her birthday Zack Snyder shared a photo of a deleted Wonder Woman scene from Justice League. On Tuesday, Snyder must have still had Gadot on his mind because he took to Vero to reflect on the day he met her.

“This is the first day I met Gal and this is the first photo of her I took,” Snyder captioned the photo above. “She didn’t know it at the time but I had already decided she was my Wonder Woman.”

Snyder shared a similar image of Gadot from that same photo shoot last summer after the roaring success of Wonder Woman.
