'Wonder Woman is that you?' Fans freak out as Gal Gadot poses in black for 'smoking hot' Elle cover

In less than two weeks, Gal Gadot returns to the screens as Wonder Woman, packing on action alongside DC's alpha males. Matching her badass on-screen avatar, however, the actress has graced the covers of Elle magazine – offering a preview to her fans on the stunning "real-life Wonder Woman" that she is.

Gadot goes glamorous in black for the magazine cover oozing sex appeal. Indeed with the shoulder-baring outfit and complementing metallic handcuff and choker, the Israeli-born star appears in a new light on the cover shot, but it's not exactly a far cry from her superhero self.

Stunning as always, Gadot opted for minimal makeup in the photo. And alongside a glimpse shared on her Instagram account, she simply adds, "Thank you @elleusa for this opportunity!"

Like always, the jaw-dropping click was met with lots of praises on social media, especially as fans made a note of the cover tag describing Gadot – "Beauty queen, combat instructor, real-life wonder woman".

"Truly a wonder woman in real life," one of her Instagram followers wrote, echoing the magazine description while someone else did a second take asking, "Wonder Woman is that you?"

"Come through gal!!! Btw your eyebrows is everything," a third fan complemented.

Another added, "I'm getting Cleopatra vibes."

Asides taking Instagram by storm with her sizzling cover spreads, Gadot has been quite a sight on the red carpet events as well.

Most recently, the 32-year-old actress joined her co-stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher for a photocall at London ahead of the Justice League premiere.

Needless to say, all eyes were once again glued to Gadot, who cut a sexy yet chic figure at the promotional event in a lacey LBD.

"Last time we were all in London together we were filming Justice League. Can't believe the time is here! #justiceleague #London," she captioned a picture from the event.
