Wonder Woman has grossed over $200 million worldwide and Warner Bros/DC studios are unable to contain their excitement. After a debacle caused by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, the positive reviews and record breaking box office collections of Wonder Woman has got everyone talking.
Setting aside the rivalry, Marvel Cinematic Universe is not shying away from congratulating the woman power displayed on and off-screen by Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins. Taking to Twitter, Marvel celebrities are saluting Wonder Woman's achievement and are praising their efforts.

The initial reactions came from Chris Hemsworth. Indulging in a Twitter conversation with Gal Gadot, the Thor actor proudly claimed that if ever there was a battle between Wonder Woman and Thor, the DCEU actress would win hands down.
It began when Gadot asked Thor actor: which of their characters would win in a fight? The Australian actor bent down before the Israeli actress to share, "I think she'd kick Thor's a**." "I always knew you were a smart guy," Gadot replied later. "But I think it's worth a fight. We should collide [Marvel and DC] worlds."
