With its all-star cast, it's no surprise the superhero flick is one of the most anticipated releases of 2017.

But in order for Wonder Woman to live up to the hype it's necessary for the fight sequences to be shot to perfection.

Putting that requirement into effect, Gal Gadot's stunt double looked the part on Friday as she gave it her all while the cameras captured a dramatic fight scene on location in Matera, Italy.
