The 32-year-old star said it is easy for people to relate with the superhero as she is compassionate and her approach towards life is similar to the Princess of Wales, reported Glamour magazine.
"I remember a quote from Princess Diana where she hit the nail on the head. She said she worked from the heart and not the head and I think that Wonder Woman, Diana Prince, is the same.
"I know one Diana was real and the other isn't, but Wonder Woman is such a great character because she works from the heart," Gadot said.
"We are so exposed all our lives to amazing male superheroes and never to one really good female superhero and I think Wonder Woman really captures the beauty of what it means to be a woman.
