The interview of Gal Gadot (known mainly for her role as Wonder Woman ) with InStyle magazine focuses more on issues related to the actress’s personal life. It also touches on the topic of career and upcoming movies. The actress could not reveal too much about the Cleopatra movie. She only told how she herself looks at the production and her heroine.
We intend to show not only how sexy and attractive Cleopatra was, but also how strategically thinking, wise and how much influence she had and still has on the world we live in today. I’ve watched all the Cleopatra movies, but I feel like we’re telling a story that the world needs to hear.
Controversy has been circulating from the very beginning about the production of the legendary Egyptian queen. Not everyone liked the casting of Gal Gadot, an Israeli actress, as an Egyptian woman who should have much darker skin. The actress herself defended the main role, arguing that Cleopatra came from Macedonia and that it was the Macedonian actress that they were looking for at the beginning. Due to the lack of such a person, Gal Gadot was cast, who is passionate about the queen’s story. In addition, the production director has changed recently. Patty Jenkins was replaced by Kari Skogland known from the series Falcon and Winter
Wonder Woman 3, on the other hand, is still in its infancy. In the words of Gal Gadot:
We are now in the process of creating the scenario. We’ll probably only start in a year and a half.
