“Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” cast member Gal Gadot has called out former Wonder Woman to take on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
Gadot, 29, landed the coveted role of Wonder Woman in director Zack Snyder’s upcoming production. The actress didn’t say who challenged her in her video, but she did call out her “Batman vs. Superman” director, Kate Winslet and Lynda Carter to take on the challenge.
The newest Wonder Woman isn’t the only “Batman vs. Superman” star to take on the Ice Bucket Challenge. The Dark Knight himself Ben Affleck donated to the ALS Association and nominated his wife Jennifer Garner, Jimmy Kimmel, Neil Patrick Harris and Matt Damon to participate in raising awareness for disease.
The Ice Bucket Challenge has raised more than $15 million since it began on July 29. ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a disease that affects voluntary muscle movements. Sufferers from ALS progressively lose their ability to talk, walk, eat and breathe.
Barbara Newhouse, president and CEO of The ALS Association, released a statement about the spike in donations since the challenge was created.
"We have never seen anything like this in the history of the disease,” Barbara Newhouse, president and CEO of The ALS Association, said in a statement. “We couldn’t be more thrilled with the level of compassion, generosity and sense of humor that people are exhibiting as they take part in this impactful viral initiative."
"While the monetary donations are absolutely incredible,” Newhouse added, “the visibility that this disease is getting as a result of the challenge is truly invaluable. People who have never before heard of ALS are now engaged in the fight to find treatments and a cure for ALS."
