The gist of this latest "controversy," trending on social media, is that back in 2014, when Gadot signed her three-picture deal with Warner Bros to star as Wonder Woman, she was going to earn $300,000 for each film – Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Wonder Woman and the upcoming "Justice League."
Here are a few talking points that I try to rebuke:
Except that she was pretty much a no-named actress before this. Nobody thought "Wonder Woman" would hit such pay dirt, but it did and she will be generously compensated for the sequel. Comparing Gadot's journey to Cavill's a little silly. He was the lead in multiple films before "Man of Steel." Gal Gadot had never played the lead in any English-language film before. Gadot was even contemplating quitting acting before Snyder convinced her to star in BvS.
You see, I saw "Fast & Furious," but I don't remember her AT ALL. You'd think I would, given the how beautiful and magnetic a screen presence she had in "Wonder Woman," but I just can't remember.
Ok, then why was this article even written? It's started a whole scandal on social media for absolutely nothing. You can rest assured Gadot will make a lot of money when the sequel happens.
