‘Snow White’ Star Gal Gadot on Playing Wonder Woman and Speaking Out About Israel: ‘I Had to Advocate for the Hostages’
Gal Gadot reflects on 'Snow White,' 'Wonder Woman' and the 'Fast & Furious' film series as she receives a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
But even after donning Wonder Woman’s red, black and gold costume multiple times on film — amid delivering a dozen other movie-star turns — the Israeli-born actress seems no less gobsmacked at the prospect of being immortalized by the honor. While playing ex-Mossad agent Gisele Yashar over three installments, the “Fast & Furious” franchise became one of the biggest in Hollywood, boosting her visibility as she delivered memorable supporting turns in films like “Knight and Day,” “Triple 9” and “Keeping Up With the Joneses.” Although a resume full of formidable female characters undoubtedly helped her get cast as Wonder Woman in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” she’s eager to credit that film’s director for getting the role that would put movie stardom within her grasp. Joining Marc Webb’s live-action reimagining of “ Snow White ” may seem like a lateral move for a performer who’s become synonymous with blockbuster filmmaking, but to do so, Gadot not only traded in her hero’s attire to play the title character’s fearsome adversary, the Evil Queen, but took on the first-time challenge of singing on screen.
