Beyond the Wonder
Gal Gadot Variety Profile
“Wonder Woman 1984” was not the super-powered box office success to match 2017’s “Wonder Woman” ($167M vs. $823M worldwide), but the sequel was a pandemic release largely seen on streaming — now emblematic of the changing tides of the movie biz, with HBO Max leading the controversial charge — and electric star Gadot has a stack of upcoming premieres and projects. Next, she’ll star in Disney’s “Death on the Nile” in 2022 following Netflix’s November 2021 big-budget highlight “Red Notice,” and her “Hedy Lamarr” limited series is now set for Apple TV+. Outspoken against anti-Semitism, the Israeil-born Gadot will produce and star as Holocaust heroine Irena Sendler for Warner Bros. through her shingle, Pilot Wave. She’s also re-teaming with director Patty Jenkins for “Wonder Woman 3” and “Cleopatra” at Paramount.
