Wonder Woman Lynda Carter Has Something To Say To Gal Gadot

The long wait for Wonder Woman 1984 is almost over, and you can feel the excitement of the cast and crew. A virtual panel discussion for the much-anticipated sequel kicked off the DC FanDome event with a bang on August 22, as Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, and director Patty Jenkins fielded questions from fans across the globe, including some wonderful surprise guests.

Jenkins and her cast reminisced fondly about their time on set together, which must feel almost as long ago as Diana's adventures in World War I, after all the delays Wonder Woman 1984 has seen. Afterward, tennis legend and Wonder Woman superfan Venus Williams joined in to ask Gadot and Wiig which of their characters would win in a tennis match.

While this celebrity game of superhero what-if was nothing short of delightful, an even more special guest was waiting in the wings. Before debuting a brand-new trailer for Wonder Woman 1984, the FanDome panel welcomed the original on-screen Wonder Woman herself, the iconic former beauty queen Lynda Carter.

Despite the distance between the panel participants, emotions ran high in the virtual Hall of Heroes as two generations of Amazons expressed their appreciation for each other. Carter explained that she and Wiig have a mutual appreciation, which they intend to seal with a hug as soon as they can be in the same room, and gushed with praise for Jenkins and Gadot's take on Diana of Themyscira.

Carter became a TV icon during her three seasons on the late '70s Wonder Woman series, and she couldn't be happier that a whole new generation is looking up to a whole new Diana Prince on the big screen. She's seen first-hand what the character means to fans of the movies, with her own daughter falling under the spell of Gadot's Wonder Woman, telling her, quote, "I finally get what Wonder Woman means to everyone."

Wonder Woman 1984 not only takes place in a different era than the original flick did, but it also shows a new side of the lasso-swinging hero. This time around, Diana has literal decades of experience living in the world of man, and she uses that wisdom to her benefit. Keep watching the video to see that Wonder Woman Lynda Carter has something to say to Gal Gadot.
