Gal Gadot thinks Wonder Woman is the heroine every little girl needs.

The 31-year-old rising star is thrilled to be playing the superhero as she wants young women to have someone to look up to when they're growing up.

'First of all, she doesn't see that difference between any gender. It's not even an issue,' she said of the Amazonian princess when detailing the non-physical reasons why the character is a great role model in a chat with Collider.com.

She's in high demand: Gal Gadot, 31, thinks Wonder Woman is the heroine every girl needs

She is as good as the boys: Gal worked with Batman (Ben Affleck) abd Superman (Henry Cavill) on Batman V Superman - Dawn Of Justice in 2016

'She comes from this world where men and women are equal and it's not a thing to be a man or to be a woman. She feels that she can do everything and she will go for it,' said the star.

Gal added: 'She's a peace seeker; she wouldn't go and look to start a battle or a fight. She would try to solve it in any other different way, but I think that's what's beautiful about Wonder Woman.'

The character's strength resonated with Gal - who is expecting her second child -when she had a conversation with her five-year-old daughter Alma about female role models.

'She's a peace seeker:' Gadot detailed the reasons why Wonder Woman is a great heroine, aside from her impressive physical attributes

The Israeli stunner added: 'It's funny because I just had the conversation with my daughter two nights ago.

'I put her to bed and I was reading her a story and it was about princesses ... and then she was talking about the prince, the guy, she called him the prince, and she said, "Yeah, and the prince, they're usually very strong."

'And I asked her, "And what about the princesses?" [And she said,] "They're weak."

"And I said, "And how do you think they should be, Alma?"

She's got it all: The WW poster reads 'Power. Grace. Wisdom. Wonder' which sums up the Amazonian princess perfectly

Rising star: Gadot had a brief seen in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as Wonder Woman. She will reprise the role in Justice League and Justice League Part Two

'She said, "They should be strong," and I feel very proud that finally this movie is being made, because all of you guys, all men and all boys, always had a figure to look up to, whether it's Superman or Batman or Spider-Man, or whatever it is, they always had heroes to look up to.

'And for girls, it's always the princesses are being saved or being passive and finally Wonder Woman, she's fearless, she's proactive, she believes in herself. She believes she can do everything, and that's a true woman for me.'

Gadot had a brief seen in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as Wonder Woman. She will reprise the role in Justice League and Justice League Part Two.

Wonder Woman is set to hit theaters on June 2, 2017.
