She has landed on the May cover of Vogue magazine to promote her new film Wonder Woman: 1984 which was supposed to open in June but has been moved to August due to the coronavirus crisis.
And inside the fashion magazine, the star – who got mixed reviews when she shared a celebrity packed version of Imagine on Instagram to lift the spirits of her fans in self-isolation – talked about COVID-19.
‘Obviously the circumstances are horrible and frightening, but we’re home and we’re trying to make the best of it—to enjoy the quality time,’ the 34-year-old star told the magazine from her home in Los Angeles, California.

She was referring to her family, consisting of her husband Yaron Varsano, 45, and their daughters Alma, eight, and Maya, three.
Vogue was quick to point out that the article about Gadot was written ‘before COVID-19 began to take hold in the U.S.’
And the publication made sure to reach out to her once more in mid-March to reflect on the ‘profound changes to daily life [that] were being seen across the country.’

‘I’ve never been through times like these,’ Gal also said about the current situation in the world. ‘But I’m also full of hope for when it will be behind us.’
In the glamorous cover image, Gal stands in all her statuesque glory, sheathed in a fabulously textured silver metallic Louis Vuitton dress.

On her Instagram, the Fast & Furious actress posted the gorgeous cover shot and identified the shoot location, in the Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park in the Sierra Pelona Mountains of northern Los Angeles County, in the caption.
Can’t wait: One of the big topics in the article itself, of course, was the highly anticipated sequel Wonder Woman 1984, a film that has now been delayed from June until August
Iconic: ‘It meant something to them. And just because of that, I care for them, and I want to hear what they have to say,’ Gal said of Wonder Woman
‘This was shot at Vasquez rocks a few months back,’ Gadot wrote. ‘Who could have imagined what was coming? Thank you @voguemagazine for having me. Taken by the extraordinary @annieleibovitz ❤️❤️’
One of the big topics in the article itself, of course, was Gal’s highly anticipated sequel Wonder Woman 1984, a film that wrapped production well over a year ago but has now been delayed for release from June until August as movie theaters around the world remain shuttered due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Gadot observed how profoundly the first Wonder Woman film, released in 2017, affected fans.

‘It meant something to them. And just because of that, I care for them, and I want to hear what they have to say,’ she said.
‘Often it’s about a profound effect that it’s had on their life. Usually it’s that it triggered them to make a change, to do something they would never do, to be courageous.’
At the end of last month, Gal helped break the news of WW1984’s delayed release, taking to her Instagram to announce the new August date: ‘In these dark and scary times, I am looking forward to a brighter future ahead. Where we can share the power of cinema together again. Excited to redate our WW84 film to August 14, 2020. I hope everyone is safe. Sending my love to you all. ❤️’
