Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman is a hit with critics and moviegoers alike, raking in more than $100 million at the box office during its opening weekend.

O’Brien invited the 5-foot-10 Gadot and her trainer to a studio warehouse to demonstrate what it takes to become such a wondrous woman.

Not only was she a combat instructor in the Israel Defense Forces, but she also performed all her own stunts when starring as Gisele in Fast & Furious. For her Wonder Woman role, she also received training in kickboxing, capoeira, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kung fu and swordsmanship.
In the end, Conan was transformed into a strange, super-heroic version of himself courtesy a wardrobe change that had him don a padded suit and plastic cowlick.
