In a recent interview, actress Gal Gadot discusses prior charges that Justice League director Joss Whedon “threatened [her] career.”Gadot also stated in December that her professional experience with Whedon on the Justice League reshoots “wasn’t the best,” but that she “took care of it there and when it happened.” I presented it to the higher-ups.”
“When Whedon pressed Gadot to record lines she didn’t like, [he] threatened to destroy Gadot’s career,” according to unnamed sources quoted in an April 2021 report by The Hollywood Reporter. Whedon “sort of intimidated my career and said if I did something, he would make my career horrible,” Gadot revealed in May. The Wonder Woman star discussed her choice to go public with her experience in an interview with Elle Magazine that was published on the 18th of October, 2021. “You’re dizzy because you can’t believe what you’ve just heard,” she explained.
“And if he says it to me, it’s safe to assume he says it to a lot of other people.” I simply did what I felt compelled to do. And it was to inform others that that was not acceptable.” “Would he tell me what he told me had I been a man? I don’t know. We’ll never know. But my sense of justice is very strong. I was shocked by the way that he spoke to me,” she added. “But whatever, it’s done. Water under the bridge.”
She said that she “was shaking trees as soon as it happened” following the alleged incident, and that the “leaders of Warner Brothers” “took care of everything.” A spokesperson for Joss Whedon has been contacted by NME for comment. Whedon had previously “denied all misconduct,” according to Deadline.
Gal Gadot made her original remarks in response to a WarnerMedia probe started after her Justice League co-star Ray Fisher went public in July 2020 with allegations of Whedon’s “gross, aggressive, unprofessional, and absolutely unacceptable” behaviour.WarnerMedia said in December that its “review into the Justice League movie is concluded and punitive action has been taken,” according to a statement. Gadot gave testimony for the probe, which she described as “quite comprehensive,” according to Variety.
