It’s a wrap for “Wonder Woman 1984,” according to Gal Gadot’s Instagram post. In the caption for her gallery of behind the scenes photos, the actress wrote, “We did it. Again! And as much as the first time shooting ‘Wonder Woman’ was amazing, this time was even more unique and special.”

The sequel to 2017’s blockbuster hit, “Wonder Woman,” the film is set for a 2020 release. “We shot in four very different locations in three countries… I’m so proud of the almost 1,000 crew members who came to set every day, giving everything they have into our movie,” said Gadot, who first portrayed the superheroine in 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”

She added that her returning director helped bring out a satisfying performance: “I’m so lucky to have the one and only Patty Jenkins as my director. She always has our backs, she gives us the wings to dare, and every day she helped us find the most creative version of ourselves. I am so grateful to call her my friend.”

Gadot also gushed about playing the warrior-princess anew and the teamwork involved: “Words cannot describe this experience. This journey was so demanding and challenging but we all came and did our very best every take, every day… Thank you, Universe for this opportunity.” —OLIVER PULUMBARIT
