Even when world events seem at their bleakest, humanity must’ve done something right for us to have Gal Gadot.
These Wonder Woman bloopers are adorable, smile-inducing, and spirit-lifting not just for their comedic value and the vicarious joy of watching movie stars in fanciful costumes shake off their mistakes—no, these are extra fun because you get the sense of just how much the cast enjoyed making the movie.

Watch Amazons stumble, lines get flubbed, observe as Gal Gadot’s giggle heals all of the broken places in our hearts. Ask yourself how you lived before you had seen the Wonder Woman bloopers. It’s hard to imagine now, isn’t it? I always adore when we get to glimpse behind the glitzy celluloid curtain at the real people working hard to craft the Thing We Love, and it’s all the better when they seem to be genuinely neat and cool and having the time of their lives.
