Everything you need to know about Gal Gadot, the badass actress who stars in 'Wonder Woman'

Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman, and she's stealing the show.

For those unfamiliar with her name, the 32-year-old actress was best known for her roles in four "Fast and Furious" films before taking on the role of Wonder Woman alongside Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."

Now she's bringing the comic-book Amazonian princess to life in the first standalone "Wonder Woman" film that's getting rave reviews and (at least) two "Justice League" movies.

But even before she was killing it in action films, she was crowned Miss Israel and served two years in the Israeli army.
