Gal Gadot has spoken out on her next Cleopatra film, following varied reactions to the news. The Wonder Woman actress will play the queen of Egypt’s Ptolemaic Kingdom and has stated that it is a story that “the world needs to hear.” ‘I can’t say much, but I can tell you that we’re going to commemorate the Cleopatra tale,’ she told InStyle. We’ll show how seductive and appealing she was, but also how shrewd and brilliant she was, and how much of an impact she had and continues to have on the world we live in today.’
‘I’ve seen every Cleopatra film ever made,’ she continued, ‘but I feel like we’re portraying the tale the world needs to hear right now.’ ‘I enjoy beginning on new journeys, I love the excitement of new projects, the thrill of bringing new stories to life,’ Gal Gadot previously tweeted about her involvement in the movie. For a long time, I’ve wanted to recount the narrative of Cleopatra. I couldn’t be happier with this A-team!!’ Some people are enthusiastic about the movie, while others believe Gal isn’t the ideal actress for the part.
