Gal Gadot is not leaving concerns about her Cleopatra the cast prevented her from making the next film.
The actress participated in a recent interview with BBC Arabic to promote her new film Wonder Woman 1984. During the appearance, Gal was asked about Egyptians who think the star’s role as queen of that nation is an example of Hollywood cover-up.
“First, if you want to be true to the facts, then Cleopatra was Macedonian “, the 35 year old Justice League star replied. “We were looking for a Macedonian actress to fit Cleopatra. She was not there. And I was very much in love with Cleopatra.”
Gal stressed that she considers history universal and that she believes strongly in helping the director Patty Jenkins tell.
“For me, as a lover of the people, and I have friends from all over the world, whether they are Muslims, Christians, Catholics, atheists, Buddhists or Jews, of course,” she said. “People are people. And with me, I want to celebrate Cleopatra’s legacy and honor this incredible historical icon that I admire so much.”
The actress added, “But, you know, anyone can make this film, and anyone can go ahead and do it. I’m very excited to do mine too.”
