Gal Gadot is not just saving the world as Wonder Woman, but she has taken her fight to the real world and is standing up against those people in Hollywood who have sexually assaulted harassed men and women. In a new interview, the star says that their wrath is over. And she is not playing around.
Gal Gadot is making the rounds promoting Justice League, which arrives in theaters this weekend. Gadot and her co-star Ezra Miller, who plays the role of The Flash had interviewed one another. It was mainly a silly, fun interview. But then Miller prompted his co-star to deliver a message to the “hetero patriarchy.” Gadot then looks into the camera, and with Ezra Miller cheering her, she had this to say:
“I’m just going to say, misogynist sexists, your wrath upon this world is over.”
It is a serious moment, done in a lighthearted way, but an important thing for Gal Gadot to say. Wonder Woman has proved this year that the world is ready to accept female heroes, as this movie dominated at the box office. So having the woman who brought the DC hero to life declaring that the detestable people, who have been getting away with harassment behind-the-scenes in Hollywood for many years are at their end, is super impactful.
It has been clear that Gal Gadot is not willing to put up with anyone who has been associated with sexual misconduct. Brett Ratner was accused of a misconduct by actresses like Ellen Page. Warner Bros. has cut ties with Ratner but, he is a partner on movies like Wonder Woman 2. Though the studio denies it, a report states Gadot won’t do the movie if Ratner is in any way involved. When the Harvey Weinstein scandal, which prompted this tidal wave of change in Hollywood, first broke, Gadot had this to say.
“Bullying and sexual harassment is unacceptable! I stand by all of the courageous women confronting their fears and speaking out. Together we stand… We are all united in this time of change.”
Wonder Woman 2 had its release date moved up, but it is important to note that her contract ran out with Justice League. So if Warner Bros. does not stand against the “misogynist sexists,” she is willing to walk away. Gal Gadot is more important to the DCEU than Brett Ratner, or anyone else who has been accused of misconduct. Those who have been upset by the recent events can rest assured; Wonder Woman is with you.
