Fact check: Gal Gadot couldn’t do an accent for Wonder Woman so they made all the amazons speak like her.

1. Summary of the results

The original statement is contradicted by multiple sources. The accent used in Wonder Woman was actually a deliberate creative choice to establish a unique "Themysciran" accent ^{[1] [1]}. Gal Gadot and the production team intentionally crafted this accent to reflect Wonder Woman's origins from the mythical island of Themyscira ^[2]. The accent's intensity was purposefully varied depending on the time period, being thicker in the 1914-set film and softer in the 2016-set Batman v Superman ^{[1] [1]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original statement overlooks several important aspects:

• The production team created an entire linguistic identity for the Amazons, including their own language ^[2]
• The accent variation was strategically planned to show character development, with Wonder Woman's accent becoming softer the longer she spent away from Themyscira ^[2]
• Other Amazon characters, such as Robin Wright's Antiope, deliberately used the same accent as part of this creative decision ^[1]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement appears to stem from a misunderstanding of creative choices in filmmaking. It incorrectly frames a deliberate artistic decision as a limitation or compromise. This type of misinformation could:

• Unfairly diminish Gal Gadot's acting abilities
• Undermine the extensive worldbuilding done by the production team ^[2]
• Ignore the collaborative effort between Gadot and director Patty Jenkins in creating the character's linguistic identity ^[2]

The statement appears to be an example of how creative decisions in filmmaking can be misinterpreted as limitations or compromises when taken out of their full context.
