Gal Gadot says it's not necessary! Wonder Woman 2 doesn't use sword and shield

"Wonder Woman 2" officially released the trailer last week, announcing the return of the goddess Diana, and is scheduled to be released on June 5, 2020. However, careful fans also noticed something different in the trailer-Wonder Woman never used the iconic sword and shield from beginning to end.

Gal Gadot, who plays Diana, and director Patty Jenkins explained this in subsequent interviews.

Gal Gadot said: "Wonder Woman doesn't need to carry a weapon. We originally planned to put down the sword. If there is a sword in the scene, I must use it, and the sword is very offensive, so we gave up. In addition, we don't think Diana needs a shield. She is a demigod. She is super strong and proficient in combat skills. In addition, she has the Lasso of Truth, the Silver Bracelet of Protection and the Champion Helmet, which is enough."

In the comics, Wonder Woman generally uses the above three-piece suit and excellent fighting skills to defeat her enemies, and the scenes with her holding a sword and shield are not majority. Therefore, many DC fans are pleased to accept the new look. However, there are still many movie fans who think that the withdrawal of the sword and shield has caused Wonder Woman to lose some of her sharpness and majesty.

Wonder Woman 2 is set to be released on June 5, 2020.
