Above all Gal Gadot was featured on the cover of the New York Post in 2007 as a 21-year-old model in the Maxim photo shoot “Women of the Israel Defense Forces”.

A casting director approached Gadot’s agency after she finished her first year of college, asking her to audition for the role of Camille Montes in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace. Despite losing the part to Olga Kurylenko, Gadot went on to act in the Israeli drama Bubot a few months later. Finally, three months later, Gadot was chosen above six other actresses by the casting director from her Quantum of Solace audition for the role of Gisele Yashar in the action film Fast & Furious 4, the fourth installment in the Fast & Furious franchise. In those flicks, Gadot did some of her stunt work.

In 2010, she also appeared in the action-comedy Date Night and the action-adventure comedy Knight and Day, both of which she played minor roles. In 2011, she returned to the Fast & Furious franchise, reprising her role as Gisele in Fast Five; in 2013, she reprised the role in Fast & Furious 6. In the blockbuster film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Gadot played Wonder Woman (2016).

To prepare for the part, Gadot studied swordsmanship, Kung Fu, kickboxing, capoeira, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. One of the best elements of the picture was Gadot’s performance as the superhero, which was the character’s debut appearance in the film.

On the 75th anniversary of Wonder Woman’s first appearance, Gadot, fellow Wonder Woman actress Lynda Carter, DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson, Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, and United Nations Under-Secretary-General Cristina Gallach appeared at the United Nations to mark the character’s designation by the UN as its “Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls.”

The gesture was made to promote UN Sustainable Development Goal 5, which aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls by 2030. UN staff members objected to the decision, claiming that the figure is “not culturally comprehensive or sensitive” and serves to objectify women in a petition to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

Gadot starred alongside Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds in the Netflix action-comedy picture Red Notice, which was written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. Death on the Nile, directed by Kenneth Branagh, will be released on February 11, 2022.
