All she can do is Star Wars? I haven’t heard her say anything controversial like why is she blacklisted and can’t get good movie roles.
Someone who keeps getting movie roles like Jay, Leto or Gal Gadot who been in many recent movies that are box not office draws, and some that flopped. Also have questioning acting. Be getting roles over and over again.
She has had more roles since playing Rey but nothing I've heard of. She's pretty enough but doesn't have any actual talent, that has to be the reason surely.
Anyway she's returning to suckle on the saggy old Star Wars teat so will continue to rake in the cash. God help us.
Her acting was really atrocious in Star Wars. Especially the first film - there were scenes - actually left in the film! - were she couldn't keep a straight face. I'd never seen anything like it...
Gal Gadot may not be the world's best actress, but to a lot of people she's got a warmth and presence that shines out of the screen, and she's stunning to look at.
She actually has three things working against her:
1.) She can't act like anything other than herself (similar to Mila Kunis).
2.) She was in Star Wars films, and no matter what kind they are, actors who have done work in Star Wars often carry a stigma with them in Hollywood (much of Tinseltown doesn't have much respect for George Lucas or any actors that have worked in sci-fi or fantasy films), often forcing them to either stick to sci-fi, or they have to rebuild their careers all over again afterwards (if they are determined to break away from their character).
3.) She not only now has the Star Wars stigma associated with her, but she was also in a set of films that people [even the fans] HATED! So she has TWO major traits working against her. Being Kathleen Kennedy's "Mary Sue Avatar" doesn't work in her favor either.
I honestly don't see her career going anywhere after Star Wars, other than paid promotions for Star Wars, or quiet, low-budget, British dramas that nobody watches.
Well as I said, to an extent with McGregor. Portman however, was only really as a child actress...
But otherwise, if the question reduces to "unknowns who never went on to make it big", then the "has any" just becomes Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley and Hayden Christensen...
I've nothing against the girl. She just seems pretty flat and uninteresting as an actress. I don't see anything in her to make casting directors sit up and say 'Get me Daisy Ridley!'. And whilst she's far from unattractive, she's not 'Hollywood glamorous' so I don't see her getting cast on her looks. I feel she's destined to fall between the cracks.
She's 31 years old by now, so no longer able to get by on youthful looks alone, and her acting abilities have always been strictly limited. It's been almost 8 years since she starred in TFA, and she hasn't managed to stand out or leave a lasting impression in any of the roles she's had since. At this point, it's clear that she's no big box office draw, and she's too limited as an actress to have a career in smaller independent movies. Accordingly, I'm not surprised to see SW being her only option.
