Gal Gadot visits children's hospital dressed as Wonder Woman

Sequel Wonder Woman 1984 has been filming in Washington DC

Gal Gadot may be busy filming Wonder Woman 1984 – the sequel to the hit solo film of last year – but she took the time to visit a local children’s hospital, in full costume.

The actor stopped by Inova Children’s Hospital in Annandale, Virginia, with production having previously landed in Washington DC to shoot the superpowered follow-up.

“Thank you Gal Gadot for visiting us at Inova Children’s Hospital,” tweeted Dr. Lucas Collazo, alongside a photo of Gadot posing with the hospital’s staff.

"You are a true Wonder Woman. The kids loved it... and so did the staff."

Director Patty Jenkins previously dropped a bombshell about the DC sequel, by posting a first look at the film that included Chris Pine‘s Steve Trevor seemingly alive and well in the 1980s.

"Welcome to WONDER WOMAN 1984, Steve Trevor! #WW84" Jenkins wrote. Gadot, meanwhile, also posted a first look at Diana, looking extremely concerned while gazing at a wall of TV screens, all airing some suitably 80s images – that includes Dynasty‘s own J.R..

The film will see Wonder Woman face off against Kristen Wiig’s Cheetah, with Game of Thrones‘ Pedro Pascal also onboard in a “pivotal role”.
