The Oscar-winning actress posted a delightful TBT photo on Instagram of her daughter at age 2 dressed as the most recognizable female superhero, complete with her afro and superhero stance! “Genesis at 2 almost 3,” Davis wrote. “She wanted to keep her fro. #WonderWoman! We’re ready!!! #TBT.” On Wednesday, the actress tweeted about her excitement to see the upcoming film this weekend, writing, “Seeing #WonderWoman this weekend!!! Yup….I am!!! This is for the girls!!!” The actress, 51, opened up about the dreams she had for her daughter [to PEOPLE](http://people.com/babies/viola-davis-daughter-genesis-parenting-fear-entitlement/), saying her worst fear was that Genesis would grow up to feel “entitled.” > [](https://twitter.com/violadavis/status/870010051443826688) “I [never had a house](http://people.com/awards/oscars-2017-viola-davis-journey-from-extreme-poverty-to-oscar-gold/); Genesis has a house,” she said. “I do shop at Target, I buy all her clothes at Target or H&M. And maybe, if I’m feeling really good, Nordstrom Rack.” Despite her fears, she said she and her husband **Julius Tennon** hold Genesis “accountable for everything,” and they just might be raising a Wonder Woman of their own if Davis’ strength and success are anything to go by. _Wonder Woman_ hits theaters on Friday.
