Israeli actress Gal Gadot has announced she is pregnant with her second child.

"So excited to share this wonder with you... #mommyforthesecondtime," the Wonder Woman star tweeted Sunday.

The message accompanied an adorable, black-and-white photo of Gadot taking a selfie with her husband, real-estate developer Yaron Varsano, whom she married in 2008. They already have a 5-year-old daughter.

Both she and Varsano have their hands on her baby bump, creating the shape of a heart.

The couple did not specify their new baby's gender or anticipated birth date.

'Beasts' star Eddie Redmayne: 'I feel enormous pressure' to please Wizarding World fans
Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne admits he felt a smidge of anxiety playing the lead in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

The Harry Potter prequel is set in 1920s New York and follows the globe-trotting adventures of Redmayne's character, the renowned magizoologist Newt Scamander. The screenplay was penned by J.K. Rowling, creator of the Potter books and movies.

Asked at a recent global fan event for the film if he felt an intense responsibility to Wizarding World fans since Rowling had created a mythical world so many treasure, Redmayne confessed: "The honest answer is I feel enormous pressure, but that bridges kind of what I was saying before. We were all fans and we grew up watching these films and, for me, getting to go and see a Potter film every couple of years was like diving into that warm, cozy place that made you happy about the world. I'm sure you guys relate, too, so we had quite high expectations on ourselves. We didn't want to screw it up, but once we read the script and once you realize it was all those things that you were familiar with in J.K. Rowling's world, all of that everyday magic..."

The actor went on to recall how he one day was wandering around the Beasts set and went to check out a newspaper stand meant to appear in the background of a scene. To his surprise, the newspapers featured actual, intricate and well-written articles on every page, not just the covers, even though it was not likely they would be seen on camera.

"That detail was just so intoxicating that I actually found that quite invigorating and, so, the pressure actually decreased for a moment and it's only now when I'm meeting people and people are saying, 'How are you dealing with the pressure?' that I start to really feel it again."

The movie is to open nationwide on Nov. 18.

Which 'Game of Thrones' star joins 'Justice League' as villain Steppenwolf?

Game of Thrones star Ciaran Hinds has been cast as DC Comics villain Steppenwolf in Warner Bros. upcoming superhero ensemble film, Justice League.

According to The Wrap, Hinds has already finished his work on the motion capture role as production for Justice League recently wrapped up.

Hinds is best known for appearing as Mance Rayder in HBO's Game of Thrones and has appeared in other films such as Munich, Road to Perdition, Tinker Tailor Solider Spy and There Will Be Blood.

In the comics, Steppenwolf is the uncle to big bad Darkseid, one of the most powerful villains in DC whose goal is to conquer Earth and the entire universe.

Steppenwolf made a brief appearance in a deleted scene from March's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that Warner Bros. released on YouTube.

The clip features Lex Luthor (Jessie Eisenberg) speaking with Steppenwolf inside the crashed Kryptonian ship surrounded by three mother boxes, powerful devices that Darkseid and his crew will most likely be after.

The Wrap notes however that Steppenwolf's appearance in the deleted scene will most likely change when he is seen in Justice League.

Directed by Zack Snyder and starring Ben Affleck (Batman), Henry Cavill (Superman), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Ezra Miller (The Flash), Jason Momoa (Aquaman) Ray Fisher (Cyborg) J.K. Simmons (Commissioner Gordon) and Amber Heard (Mera), Justice League fly's into theaters Nov. 17, 2017.

"Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy," reads the synopsis.

"Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes-Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash-it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions."
