Gal Gadot first appeared as Wonder Woman in the 2016 filmBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Since then the actress has gathered a huge fanbase, and continues to inspire people around the world as the iconic heroine. Fans are also eagerly awaiting her second solo film,Wonder Woman 1984, which will finally be released on Christmas Day. While the announcement for The Game Awards isn’t completely out of the left-field, it is still interesting that Gal Gadot was chosen to be a presenter, as the actress hasn’t really crossed over into the video game world.
Before fans get their hopes up, her appearance doesn’t automatically mean one should expect an announcement for a new Wonder Woman game. There areseveral good reasons why a Wonder Womangame should be made, but it’s entirely possible that Gadot is just there to help appeal to outside audiences that might not normally tune in to watch The Game Awards.
On the flip side, there are two upcoming DC Comics games that we might hear more about that night.Gotham KnightsandSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueare two games we might see more of during the awards show, possibly in the form of new trailers or new gameplay reveals. Since Gadot is tied to the DC Comics universe, it would make sense for her to introduce new footage from these games.
However, on the off chance that Gal Gadotisthere to announce a planned Wonder Woman game, that would surely be an early Christmas present for many fans. Whether it would be set in theArkhamgames universelikeSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, or be in its own stand-alone universe likeGotham Knights,fans would just have to wait and see. Regardless of how Gal Gadot will be involved at the Game Awards, viewers can expect big announcements, plenty of new content, and different live performances throughout the night from artists likePearl Jam’s Eddie Vedderand the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Game Awardswill air on December 10th at 6:30 EST across numerous platforms and co-streams from three studio locations in Los Angeles, Tokyo, and London.
