Director Patty Jenkins promises a “great love story” in Wonder Woman 2
Justice League pretty much crashed and burned (although there was one scene our critics liked a lot), so fans are looking ahead to the followup to the DCEU’s 2017 success story: director Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman. Diana (Gal Gadot)’s sweet and charming (and ultimately, ill-fated) romance with Steve Trevor (Chris…
The superheroes of Justice League deserve better than another misbegotten blockbuster
C-
A blockbuster with more studio notes than script (underlined: “Be more Marvel”), Justice League attempts to inject some levity and rock ’n’ roll into Zack Snyder’s dinosaurian version of the DC Comics-verse; in many cases, it ends up with the worst of multiple worlds. Gone are the artistic pretensions and doofy…
Gal Gadot says she didn’t get Brett Ratner cut from Wonder Woman 2
Over the weekend, Page Six cited an anonymous source who claimed that Gal Gadot was refusing to star in Wonder Woman 2 if Brett Ratner, whom several actresses recently accused of sexual harassment, was involved in any way.

Gal Gadot steals "The Last Fry" in an unaired SNL rap parody
Harvey Weinstein jokes weren’t the only thing cut out of last week’s episode of Saturday Night Live; we also lost a new Kyle Mooney/Beck Bennett/Gal Gadot rap parody to the vagaries of time and dress rehearsal whims.

Lynda Carter goes after James Cameron for his Wonder Woman comments
Despite having multiple Avatar movies to worry about/make people care about, James Cameron recently took the time to double down on his comments about Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman movie, telling The Hollywood Reporter that Diana of Themyscira was very much an “objectified icon.” For Cameron, who doesn’t seem to think…
Gal Gadot and Kumail Nanjiani to host Saturday Night LiveÂ
Saturday Night Live is kicking off its 43rd season on September 30 with Ryan Gosling, who is a timely host thanks to Blade Runner 2049 also coming this fall, but one problem with the early episodes in an SNL season is that most of the big movies of the summer have already come and gone. So, to celebrate a couple…

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Gal Gadot reveals that, after a hitching a ride on the Fast And Furious franchise, she was up for two of the baddest roles in recent film history: Diana Prince and Furiosa.

The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences is the organization behind the Academy Awards, and it consists of thousands of people who work in the movie industry—from actors and directors to hairstylists and PR people. That means The Academy is basically the not-so-shadowy cabal that runs Hollywood, breaking hearts…
Rumors of Gal Gadot getting screwed over on Wonder Woman have been overstated
Given that the Hollywood gender wage gap—i.e., the phenomenon that sees Jennifer Lawrence rank as Hollywood’s top-paid female star, and still make $30 million less a year than her male contemporaries—is demonstrably still a thing, people have been eyeing the paychecks headed to Warner Bros.’ latest female action star, …
