Power to her: Gal Gadot proved she is the perfect choice to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming movie when she was pictured filming action scenes for the 2017 movie on an Italian beach on Thursday

Her arms were adorned with oversized metal cuffs and her brunette locks were tied in a simple ponytail as she took on the guise of the famous heroine.

At certain points, both Gal and Chris were pictured heading into the sea as their action adventure continued, with Gal going barefoot as she sat by he handsome star.

In between takes, the beautiful star was tended to by a hair and make-up stylist, who spritz and dabbed her golden skin to make sure it was camera ready.

Getting along nicely: The pair’s costumes complemented one another’s as the cameras continued to film

It’s no easy job: The pair got rather wet as they filmed scenes in the ocean for the highly-anticipated film

Don’t leave me: She looked as though she was trying to revive her co-star following an accident

She could also be seen giggling as an assistant poured water over her from an orange vessel, making sure she stayed wet for continuity as she started to dry off too quickly in the sunshine.

Further scenes saw her sporting perfectly styled curly hair as she talked to a fellow co-star who sat upon a horse.

Wonder Woman tells the story of an Amazon princess leaves her island home to explore the world, and becomes the greatest of its female heroes.

Gal has just made her debut as Wonder Woman in this weekend’s Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice which had Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman.

And on Monday an image was released of Gal Gadot in her 2017 spinoff in a photo shared byEntertainment Weekly. Also in the set-up were her costars Loven Kongsli, 36, Connie Nielsen, 50, and Robin Wright, 49.

Patty Jenkins of the movie Monster is directing the rare female-helmed superhero movie.

This comes just after 1970s TV Wonder Woman Lynda Carter said she welcomed a new incarnation of the super heroine. Carter told People magazine on Monday: ‘I think it’s time. It’s cool, it’s very cool. It just adds to the charm and the legend.’

The beauty added: ‘I think it’s great. I’m very hopeful for her to reemerge – I’ve tried to keep her alive a long time.’

Gal recently told chat show host Ellen DeGeneres that as a parent of a four-year-old daughter, called Alma, she’s happy to be playing a strong-female role model.

Asked about how much her little one understands about her character, Gal explained: ‘I’m not sure how much of it she gets…she came to visit me on set many times and one time I was wearing the Wonder Woman costume and then she asked me: “Mummy, if you wear a tiara does that mean you are a Queen and then I am a Princess?”

‘And then I said: “Well it’s complicated…I’m playing dress-up”…she’s really into dress up and she’s really into Princesses.

‘One time I was telling her a story and then she said: “The Prince is always so brave and so courageous and strong,” and I asked her: “What about the Princesses?” – and she said: “Meh” and I said: “Why do you say that?” and she said: “They always fall asleep and then the Prince is the one to wake them up and they do nothing”…that made me feel really good about playing Wonder Woman.’

Getting the light just right: Mother-of-one Gal and Chris looked every inch the true professionals as they went through the motions
