Wonder Woman too! Lynda Carter 'absolutely' wants to star opposite Gal Gadot in DC superheroine sequel... after missing out on the first one
It was probably the only thing missing from the first movie.
Lynda Carter has revealed she would love to appear in the Wonder Woman sequel opposite Gal Gadot.
The 65-year-old, who played the superheroine in the iconic 70s TV series, missed out on the chance to appear in the groundbreaking big screen version because of a schedule clash.

'We were trying to get me in the first one and we couldn’t make it work with our timing,' she told People Magazine.
However she has already discussed taking on a role for the all-but-confirmed second film with director Patty Jenkins.
'It really is up to Patty, and if it works in an organic way it’ll be great fun and it’ll be wonderful to do,' she said.
'Am I open to it? Absolutely. I ADORE Patty Jenkins, and it’ll be wonderful to do. But we’ll just see how that goes.'

The actress said the pairing of Jenkins and Gadot had her full trust before she even seen the movie.
'I was so taken with the both of them, and taken with Patty from the beginning when she very first got this film, and we talked on the phone. I just said that she knows who this character is.
'Because Wonder Woman — it’s the idea of her. It’s not about superpowers, it’s about her intellect and compassion. It’s so much more than some comic book character, because we identify with it.

'It certainly did inspire a lot of women,' she added. 'Women are coming out of the movie feeling emboldened, feeling good about themselves. Because that’s who we are. We are half the world, and we want to be represented as half the world.
On Thursday, Jenkins praised Carter on Twitter for creating the legacy on which the film was built upon.
After Carter tweeted out congratulations to Gal and Patty, the director reciprocated: 'Congrats to YOU too. This is all built on the magical legacy you are at the core of. Great thanks you Lynda, our sister on the journey.'
