The film, which is set to arrive in cinemas in 2024 and stars West Side Story's Rachel Zegler in the title role, will be a live action musical, with Gadot explaining this aspect of the film meant she had to audition for the role.

Speaking in a video for GQ, Gadot said: "It was the first time I had to kind of audition for a project in a while. They needed to make sure I can sing because this is a musical. So, for a month, I was working on the song, and then I auditioned, and we filmed the song, and I got the part, and it was very exciting."

She continued: "It was so much to shoot because it’s so different from anything I’ve ever done. It’s so delicious and delightful, and I could really go big and theatrical. I can't wait for you to watch this movie."
