We used the lasso of truth on Gal Gadot, star of the new superhero epicWonder Woman(in theaters this weekend), who answered seven burning questions.

Q: After completing Wonder Woman,did you walk into Justice Leaguewith extra swagger?

A: Literally, the day (after) I wrapped Wonder Woman,I started to shoot Justice League(in theaters Nov. 17). It feels really good to know your character to a degree where you are very opinionated about what she should do and what she shouldnt do.

Q: Which villains do youwantWonder Woman to take on in future films?

A: I love Jesse Eisenberg. Ireally enjoyed what he did with Lex Luthor (in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice). And it just feels like unfinished business there.

Q:You gave birth to your second daughter, Maya, two months ago. Are you still in Wonder Woman training?

A: I was training four weeks after I had the baby. But its a different regimen. Its not as intense. And my body needed the time off.

Q: Wonder Womantakes place in World War I. If you can land Diana Prince in another era, which would you pick?

A: I love the '90s just because of the music. All of the sudden, you see her go on roller blades it could be funny!So the '80s or the '90s.

Q:Has the magnitude ofWonder Womansunk in yet?

A: Everything that happens to me, I have a delay in really understanding whats going on. For instance, when I won the Miss Israel pageant and Miss Israel is a big deal in Israel, or at least it used to be I never planned on winning, I just went for the experience. All the sudden, I won. Like, what?! And only after I finished my (reign), I was like, 'Oh, my God, I was Miss Israel! How weird!' It hits me only later.

Q:Is it true that when you competed for Miss Universe in 2004, you didn't pack enough dresses for all the events?

A: Oh,no.I brought everything, but I was rebelling. They wanted us to wear evening gowns for breakfast and cocktail gowns for lunch. It was so ridiculous. I just wore jeansbecauseI was like, 'No way.' But I had many dresses in my suitcase.

Q:You got major praise recently for wearing flats to theWonder Womanpremiere.

A: Thats something Ive been saying for years, that I want to create this trend of doing red carpets in flats. I love wearing high heels its beautiful, its sexy, whatever. But at the same time, especially stilettos, it puts us out of balance. We can fall any minute. Its not good for our backs. Why do we do it? I can wear high heels (despite having a sprained back). But I was like, 'Lets wear flats!' Ive been waiting for this moment.
