Why do they keep casting Gadot?


She can’t act worth crap and she has the charisma of wet cardboard.

Except for the first WW — which succeeded in spite of her — everything she’s starred in has bombed.

She's not bad to look at for 2 hours

reply

She's a major star.

Name actresses that'll draw more viewers than her as a lead on a Netflix movie circa 2023. Be realistic. HINT: You won't be able to name many.

Definitely;
Scarlett Johansson

Probably;
Margot Robbie
Zendaya
Jenna Ortega
Jennifer Lawrence

Possibly;
Brie Larson
Elizabeth Olsen
Anya Taylor-Joy


How many actresses are certified bank in 2023? I'd say NONE. Everyone was saying Margot Robbie was box office poison because everything she starred in bombed except for when she's carried by other stars like Leonardo DiCaprio. Now Barbie has happened and she's suddenly the box office queen.

Gal is definitely a top 20 actress (in terms of star power) in 2023. Almost certainly a top 10. Yeah sure someone like Florence Pugh is a more talented actress, but people would sooner check out a Gal movie. She's got more pull.

Then why do all her movies flop?

reply

Wonderwoman wasn't a flop. It was a huge success.

reply

That was an anomaly, but you are correct. The sequel flopped to the point it killed the franchise.

reply

She’s terrible !

reply

You know why, she is one of them.

reply

{{{ them }}} ???

reply

Aliens!!!! 😳 (the space kind)

reply

Because she is sexy

reply

She looks good and still has a bit of Wonder Woman cred. And I would say she doesn't outprice herself which is probably smart.

I have to laugh at the person on here saying she's a massive star, behave.

reply

She's a Zionist.

reply

That's a good thing.

reply

It's a zealot thing.

reply

Probably a lot has to do with her ethnic background.
