Gal Gadot, an actress who received combat training in the IDF, may be playing the role of ‘Wonder Woman’ in the upcoming 2015 ‘Justice League’ reunion film. The film will feature Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman. Along with Elodie Yung and Olga Kurylenko, Gadot is vying for the role of a “tall, brunette, athletic, and exotic” crime fighter. The film is directed by Zack Snyder, who previously directed ‘Man of Steel,’ and is set to release on July 17, 2015, worldwide.
Experts in the entertainment industry are already placing their bets on Israeli actress, Gal Gadot. BroadwayWorld recently covered the Variety exclusive and one of the top commenters, J. Evert Jones from Vendor Direct Solutions, urged others not to underestimate Gadot’s potential. He used the phrase “Don’t sleep on Gal Gadot – גל גדות!” which means to not miss out on an opportunity. Jones likened Gadot to Christopher Reeve’s portrayal of Superman, where an actor becomes synonymous with a famous role, resulting in increased financing for future movie installments.
Update: Israeli troops have apprehended Muhammad Nangiyeh, a member of the Al-Aqsa Brigades terrorist organization, during their operation in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank. Meanwhile, Gal Gadot, who once tried out for a role in the James Bond movie “Quantum of Solace” back in 2008, could see a significant boost in her Hollywood career with her participation in an upcoming superhero blockbuster, given that “Fast and Furious” has already wrapped up its sixth installment.
During a May interview with The Algemeiner, Gadot expressed her pride in representing Israel in Hollywood. She acknowledged the misconceptions that some people have about Israel, such as the belief that Israelis ride around on camels. She emphasized the importance of showing Israel’s true side as a positive and pluralistic country filled with interesting culture and liberal people. Gadot, who resides in Neve Tzedek and is married to an Israeli-Dutch hotelier named Yaron Varsano, not only appears in Hollywood films but also serves as a celebrity spokesperson for an Israeli clothing brand and a line of skincare products called Vine Vera.
During an interview, she expressed her admiration for Israel, emphasizing that it is a place that holds a special place in her heart and is like home. However, she clarified that while she represents herself, she doesn’t consider herself an Israeli ambassador in Hollywood. Playing the role of Wonder Woman could potentially make her a role model for many, but she also emphasized the importance of her Jewish identity. For her, being Jewish means cherishing family, traditions, holidays, and the feeling of being at home. This information was originally reported by algemeiner.com.
