Hot off the heels of her highly praised performance as Diana Prince a.k.a Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice; Gal Gadot has slowly but surely become a household name. Although the Israeli actress very clearly has a bright future ahead of her in the DCEU, she will also soon try her hand at comedy with next month's spy caper Keeping Up With the Joneses. A brand new clip from the comedy has just hit the web, and it even features Gadot trying on sexy lingerie. Check out the clip below, and thank me later.
There are so many different reasons why that clip has me excited for Keeping Up With the Joneses. Sure, it's got Gal Gadot in lingerie, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. The clip follows Karen (Isla Fisher) as she stalks the mysterious Natalie Jones (Gadot) to a local mall. Realizing that something is definitely not right with her new neighbor, Karen creeps up to Natalie's dressing room in a department store -- only for Natalie to catch her snooping around. Rather than let simply let Karen go, Natalie opens up about her love life with her husband Tim (Jon Hamm) and seems to delight in the act of making Karen uncomfortable.
This sequence will surely be one of many hilarious scenes in the upcoming comedy. Keeping Up With the Joneses centers on a bored, suburban couple (Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher) that befriend their seemingly perfect new neighbors (Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot) named "The Joneses." As they begin to spend more time with the ideal couple, they start to suspect that there's more to the Joneses than meets the eye.
One of the more interesting things to note about this clip is the fact that Gal Gadot seems to actually have a fairly strong grasp on comedy. Although she has more than proven herself in dramatic and action-centric roles with movies like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and the Fast & Furious films, she has never really had the opportunity to take center stage and deliver laughs in any significant fashion. This is her moment.
Although this is only one quick scene from Keeping Up With the Joneses, it seems to provide enough evidence that she will be able to hold her own against comedy heavyweights like Jon Hamm, Zach Galifianakis, and Isla Fisher. If nothing else, this definitely bodes well for Wonder Woman, as Diana Prince will actually be able to deliver some levity in between the hectic battle sequences. This makes us even more excited to see her interactions with Chris Pine's Steve Trevor, as Pine already has a proven track record when it comes to lighthearted roles.
We will bring you any and all relevant details related to the upcoming release of Keeping Up With the Joneses as more information becomes available to us. The spy comedy will hit theaters on October 21.
