Part 6/9:
While Gadot refrained from explicitly naming Zegler in her critiques, it’s apparent that the tension between them was palpable; it’s hard to ignore the implications of her comments about lacking "the motivated energy" needed for a successful production. Zegler has had her share of controversies surrounding her portrayal of the titular character, which further complicates the reception of the film.
Contrastingly, Gadot has maintained a sense of professionalism, opting to express her grievances in a manner that keeps her dignity intact while still clearly pointing to the flaws in the production. This juxtaposition likely raises eyebrows, as Zegler's previous behaviors on social media indicate she might not have taken a similar, subdued approach if the roles were reversed.
