 roles, but also from her appearances in the Fast & Furious movies.){kind=link}
Wonder Woman fans worldwide know Gal Gadot as the warrior goddess from Amazon. She’s built a global fan base not just from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) roles, but also from her appearances in the Fast & Furious movies. However, her latest act as Wonder Woman in the sequel, Wonder Woman 1984, has left some fans less than impressed.
A Sequel That Doesn’t Quite Hit the Mark
After the 2017 standalone Wonder Woman movie, everyone was keen to see Gadot reprise her role. But, surprisingly, Wonder Woman 1984 didn’t quite keep up with the success of the first film. It’s not just the whole movie, but one particular scene set tongues wagging.
In a controversial interrogation scene, Gadot shared screen time with co-star Pedro Pascal. Fans have recently been discussing this scene with many pointing out what they feel is a lackluster performance by Gadot.
On the other hand, Pedro Pascal Stands Strong
The same scene that put Gadot in the hot seat seemed to have given a boost to Pedro Pascal. Despite Pascal’s known roles in The Last of Us TV series, it doesn’t detract from his impressive performance in the controversial scene. In fact, fans commend him for maintaining his character even when sharing the screen with a supposedly subpar Gadot.
Where else has Gadot Acted?
Fans continue to appreciate Gadot in her Amazonian superhero role. But when she steps out of her Wonder Woman shoes, the same fans are not quite thrilled. Despite starring in the Fast & Furious movies and making appearances in other flicks such as Red Notice and Heart of Stone, Gadot hasn’t managed to recreate her Wonder Woman success.
Interestingly, before gracing the screens in the Fast & Furious installments, Gadot auditioned for a James Bond film. The audition didn’t result in a role, but it sparked her interest in acting.
Gadot’s Acting Journey
At a time when she was making a transition from her military role in Israel to acting, Gadot declined a casting offer for a Bond movie. In a chat with InStyle, she admitted that she was not an actress and didn’t want to waste their time. Although she didn’t land the Bond role, the experience inspired her acting dreams.
In light of the current criticism about her acting, this detail from her past is intriguing. Some fans suggest that the Wonder Woman actress might benefit from more acting lessons.
Unravel the Mystery Yourself
So, is Gadot’s performance in Wonder Woman 1984 subpar, or are fans being overly critical? To find out, check out Wonder Woman 1984, now streaming on HBO Max. As for the change in fans’ perspective, only time will reveal whether it will affect their admiration for Gadot’s future roles.
Remember, every actor has their ups and downs. Maybe this is simply a rough patch for Gadot. As always, we’ll have to wait and watch.
