During an interview with [_Variety_](http://variety.com/2016/film/news/gal-gadot-wonder-woman-dc-patty-jenkins-1201884362/ "undefined"), Gal Gadot — who plays the Amazing Amazon — was asked to respond to [comments made by Greg Rucka](http://time.com/4513668/wonder-woman-queer-steve-rucka/ "undefined"), a longtime writer of the _Wonder Woman_ comics who recently stated that the character is bisexual. “It’s not something we’ve explored.
