Wonder Woman will be released in theaters next week, and in what is arguably the most anticipated movie of the summer, Gal Gadot plays the Amazonian princess and founding member of the Justice League. Gadot went through over six months of training to prepare to become the star of the first female-driven superhero movie in the modern era. In this video posted on Batman-News.Com, she takes on an even greater challenge: teaching Conan O’Brien how to train for the role.
The video shows Gadot and her trainer Ruda Vrba attempting to cram all six months of Gal’s training into the 35 minutes Conan had to spare. Unsurprisingly, the results were hilarious.
After practicing sword fighting, Conan decided to rely on his post-production team to make sure he looked great deflecting a flurry of “bullets.”
He even went so far as to put on his “Super-Conan” costume from last year’s Comic-Con in one last ditch effort to make an impression.
Even though it was obvious he had no shot at becoming the next big-time superhero, that didn’t stop Conan from attempting to ride a mechanical bull–since they couldn’t get a horse into the studio. I am not sure exactly what that was going to prove, but it made me laugh. Not so much for how Conan looked on it, but because the result when I ride one is pretty much the exact same.
Wonder Woman, also starring Robin Wright and Connie Neilsen, and directed by Patty Jenkins, opens everywhere Friday, June 2nd.
You can check out other hilarious videos from Conan on his YouTube channel here.
So what do you think? Does Conan have what it takes to be a member of the Justice League? Who do you want to see as guests during “Conan-Con” this summer? Let me know on Twitter or sound off in the comments below.
