Gal Gadot, known for her role as Wonder Woman, takes on the challenging role of the Evil Queen with great seriousness. In an interview at the 2022 D23 expo, she explained that she wanted to make sure the Queen was not just a one-dimensional evil character."I wanted to make sure that we keep her delightful and delicious, and we understand what makes her tick. Then the evilness is interesting and not just flat," Gadot said. Her performance adds a layer of complexity to the story, showing that even villains have their motives and emotions.
The Wonder Woman actress continued, "For me it was making sure the Queen is not just evil for the sake of being evil. There is a complexity. Between the two characters, it’s like a mother-daughter relationship in a weird way. It’s what happens to a woman when she feels like she’s not relevant anymore, what can come out of her." This depth of character gives the story a more nuanced and engaging feel.
