Gal Gadot became a real-life superhero for one young fan over the weekend at San Diego Comic-Con.

Footage captured at the annual event showed the actress [comforting a young girl](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/gal-gadot-wonder-woman-little-girl%5Fus%5F59756675e4b0e79ec19a3fcd) who met her while wearing a Wonder Woman outfit.

When she became overwhelmed and began to cry, Gadot reached across the table and held her hand.

“There’s no reason to cry, all right?” she [says in the video](https://twitter.com/Variety/status/888905617196236801). “Here we are together.”

> [](https://twitter.com/Variety/status/888905617196236801)

Gadot’s _Justice League_ costar Ezra Miller also told the young fan, “You’re a warrior! Your ability to cry is what makes you such a warrior. Come join the Justice League whenever you get ready.”

After the touching encounter went viral, a woman who says she’s the little girl’s mother [tweeted](https://twitter.com/DanicaDreamer/status/888993264782540801) that her daughter “was so happy to meet \[Gadot\] that she was tearing up.”

“Gal was so sweet to her,” she added. “Memories of a lifetime!”

> [](https://twitter.com/DanicaDreamer/status/888993264782540801)

Gadot will reprise her role as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman in _Justice League_, which [showed a new trailer at Comic-Con](http://ew.com/movies/2017/07/22/justice-league-comic-con-trailer/) ahead of its Nov. 17 debut. She’s also set to return in the [_Wonder Woman_ sequel](http://ew.com/movies/2017/07/22/wonder-woman-2-announced/) that was officially announced over the weekend.
