UPDATED AUG 7, 2018

Armed with her shield and lasso, Gal Gadot has undoubtedly scored a special place in our hearts as the feisty Wonder Woman. But soon, the DC star will be seen taking on the role of a real-life superhero in an upcoming limited series centered on the life and career of Hedy Lamarr. According to multiple reports, the 'Wonder Woman' actress is currently in negotiation to star in as well as executive produce the series from the co-creator of 'The Affair', Sarah Treem. If everything goes as planned, Gadot would soon be portraying the role of Lamarr, an actress and an inventor, on-screen in the series that is in development at Showtime. 

"If Hedy Lamarr and Gal Gadot and Sarah Treem come together on Showtime, we would be very happy about it," Gary Levine, Showtime programming president said on Monday, dishing about the ambitious project at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour.
