Gal Gadot recently reacted to Margot Robbie’s wish to cast her in the upcoming Barbie movie. Robbie, in a recent interview, said she visualised the Wonder Woman star as the Barbie in her mind. She also claimed how Gadot’s "Barbie energy" served as a model for casting all Barbie characters in the movie.

Reacting to this sweet compliment from Robbie, Gadot thanked her in her Instagram stories. She assured of her availability for the next Barbie movie and expressed her excitement to watch the film. She wrote, "I am in for the next one sister!!! Can’t wait to watch her.” In a conversation with Vogue, Robbie had said, “Because Gal Gadot is so impossibly beautiful, but you don’t hate her for being that beautiful because she’s so genuinely sincere, and she’s so enthusiastically kind, that it’s almost dorky. It’s like right before being a dork.”
