Joss Whedon Allegedly Threatened To Harm Gal Gadot's Career During Justice League Reshoots
Joss Whedon allegedly had threatened to harmfully alter Gal Gadot's role in the 2017 release after she'd objected to certain lines of dialogue he'd written for Wonder Woman.
Justice
League
2017
director
Joss
Whedon
has
been
called
out
by
one
of
the
cast
members
Ray
Fisher
for
"abusive,
unprofessional" behaviour.
During
a
recent
interview
with
The
Hollywood
Reporter,
Ray
alleged
mistreatment
of
other
cast
members,
naming
Gal
Gadot.
The
report
said
Whedon
allegedly
had
threatened
to
harmfully
alter
Gadot's
role
in
the
2017
release
by
editing
the
material
after
she'd
objected
to
certain
lines
of
dialogue
he'd
written
for
Wonder
Woman.
Reportedly,
Whedon's
approach
to
her
character
was
markedly
different
from
Patty
Jenkins'
directorial
Wonder
Woman.
THR
quoted
a
source
saying
that
Gadot
was
unhappy
with
Whedon's
take
on
Justice
League
and
had
"issues
about
her
character
being
more
aggressive
than
her
character
in
Wonder
Woman.
She
wanted
to
make
the
character
flow
from
one
movie
to
the
next."
Gadot
and
her
Wonder
Woman
director
Patty
Jenkins
reportedly
expressed
their
concern
all
the
way
to
the
then-Warner
Bros.
chairman
Kevin
Tsujihara.
In
a
statement
to
THR,
Gadot
said,
"I
had
my
issues
with
(Whedon)
and
Warner
Bros.
handled
it
in
a
timely
manner."
However,
the
actress
supports
Ray
Fisher
for
speaking
out
his
truth.
Back
in
December
2020,
she
told
LA
Times,
"I'm
happy
for
Ray
to
go
out
and
speak
his
truth.
I
wasn't
there
with
the
guys
when
they
shot
with
Joss
Whedon
-
I
had
my
own
experience
with
[him],
which
wasn't
the
best
one,
but
I
took
care
of
it
there
and
when
it
happened."
"I
took
it
to
the
higher-ups
and
they
took
care
of
it.
But
I'm
happy
for
Ray
to
go
up
and
say
his
truth," she
added.
On
the
acting
front,
Gal
Gadot
is
all
set
to
reprise
the
role
of
Wonder
Woman
for
the
last
and
the
third
film
in
the
Wonder
Woman
franchise.
The
third
instalment
set
to
be
directed
by
Patty
Jenkins,
was
greenlit
by
the
studio
right
after
the
release
of
Wonder
Woman
1984.
