Disappointment Strikes with Wonder Woman 1984
Gal Gadot is a prominent name in the world of superhero movies. Known for her stunning performances in the Fast and Furious series and the DC Extended Universe, she has made a place in the hearts of millions. However, her recent stint as Wonder Woman in 2020 did not quite hit the mark. Unlike the 2017 film, Wonder Woman 1984 fell short in impressing fans and critics. Main issues? Unimpressive villains, a wobbly script, and Gal’s dialogue delivery that left fans wanting more.
Twitter’s Reaction to Wonder Woman 1984
Let’s face it, social media reactions can make or break a movie these days. In the case of Wonder Woman 1984, Twitter was not kind. The complaints were primarily about one scene in the film. Gal, in character, asks about a Dreamstone from a villain, Maxwell Lord, played by Pedro Pascal. Fans found Gal’s performance comical instead of tense, considering it lacked a sense of urgency. That said, Pedro Pascal received praise for carrying the movie despite its flaws.
Wonder Woman 1984’s Financial Bust
The troubles for Gadot’s Wonder Woman didn’t stop at bad reviews. The movie could only manage to rake in $169 million at the box office, falling way short of its hefty $200 million budget. This made Wonder Woman 1984 a financial disaster resulting in the end of Gal Gadot’s time as DC’s superhero.
Gal Gadot Takes on a New Role
Not shying away from the criticism, Gal Gadot is ready to step into a new pair of shoes. Leaving her action star persona behind for a moment, she’s gearing up to play the Evil Queen in Disney’s reimagining of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In a chat with Vogue, Gal shared her excitement for the role. According to her, the wicked queen’s character has been fun to play and has also allowed her to flex her dramatic acting muscles.
A Fresh Start with Snow White
Playing the Evil Queen in Snow White promises to be a change of pace for Gadot. This role will give her an excellent chance to show her versatility as an actress, challenging her to bring a different kind of energy to the screen. The project, directed by Marc Webb, also stars Rachel Zegler in the lead role, alongside Andrew Burnap, Ansu Kabia, and Martin Klebba. The movie is set to hit theaters in March 2025.
Conclusion: A New Chapter for Gal Gadot
Regardless of the rough patch in her superhero career, Gal Gadot remains undeterred. She’s all set to enter a new phase in her cinematic journey, looking forward to her role in Disney’s Snow White. The intense criticism for Wonder Woman 1984 could possibly fuel her efforts to bounce back stronger. Time will tell whether this dramatic shift will work in her favor or not and whether audiences will accept this fresh version of Gal Gadot. Until then, we eagerly anticipate seeing Gal’s portrayal of the Evil Queen in Snow White, launching in 2025.
