Gal Gadot returns to Netflix! After his dalliance with the Big N of streaming alongside Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds in the popular ‘Red Alert’ and after accompanying Hercule Poirot in Kenneth Branagh’s ‘Death on the Nile’, The Israeli has her new film project just around the corner and, the truth, the thing does not look bad at all.
Gadot, the heroine
The title of the movie in question is ‘Agent Stone’ —’Heart of Stone’ in its original language—, and promises a good dose of action, adventure and espionage in the purest Jason Bourne or James Bond style that, if the move goes well for the studio, it will become the cornerstone of a new franchise. Because, of course, there are not enough sagas on the market.
The team responsible for the feature film transmits, like its trailer, good vibes. In addition to having money from the executive producers of ‘Mission Impossible: Deadly Judgment’, ‘Agent Stone’ is directed by Tom Harperresponsible for episodes of series such as ‘Misfits’ or ‘Peaky Blinders’ and ‘The Aeronauts’ —whose formal treatment is commendable.
Besides, the script has the stamp of the legendary Greg Ruckawho already collaborated with Netflix with ‘The Old Guard’ and who has left us fantastic comics such as ‘Gotham Central’ —co-written with Ed Brubaker—, ‘Batwoman: Elegy’, ‘Lazarus’ or ‘Whiteout’, as well as a good number of titles dedicated to Wonder Woman.
There is life after DC
Precisely about her future after having played Wonder Woman is what Gal Gadot talked about in a recent interview with Total Film. In it, the actress looks at her future after the cancellation of ‘Wonder Woman 3’ optimistically, celebrating being able to focus on developing their own stories from zero.
“For me, starting and developing stories that I’m passionate about is amazing. The fact that I don’t have to stay home and just wait for the next offer is something that makes me feel empowered. I enjoy doing it, it keeps me alive.”
However, he has made it clear that will not stop acting in commissioned projectsso everything seems that we will have Gadot for a while.
“I’m not only going to do my own projects, I’ll continue to work as a commissioned actress. But the fact that I’m able to go ahead and tell the stories that I’m passionate about, whether it’s from ideas that I conceived of or from ideas that I find fascinating from people who want to partner with us, it’s something incredible.
It’s something I’m very grateful for and I’m definitely going to keep doing it because it’s worth it. I am very, very excited and humbly proud.”
