All of the deep fake rumors seem to have stemmed from set photos of Shazam 2, which showed Gadot’s body double Taylor Cahill dressed in the Wonder Woman garb for the scene. Which, for body doubles, is kind of their job, but fans instead took this as Cahill acting out the whole scene and then having Gadot’s face plopped right on top of hers. That isn’t the case, as Sandberg points out the scene was first shot with Cahill in order to figure out “what coverage” they needed for Gadot.

“We shot the scene with Taylor to figure out what coverage we then needed to get with Gal since she couldn’t make it to Atlanta,” tweeted Sandberg in another reply. “It’s also Taylor’s body with the wizards head on it. There is absolutely no deepfaking going on. When you see Gal it’s 100% her.”

While the deep faking rumors may have been dispelled for Wonder Woman, let’s just hope this doesn’t give any studio heads ideas to make superhero movies even more green-screen complacent (or Star Wars properties, either).
