Part 6/8:
Gadot’s comments reflect a broader shift in Hollywood’s environment, where political allegiances and social activism are increasingly influencing film success. She shared that despite her positive experience working with Zgler, the external atmosphere in October 2023 created a tense environment that impacted the film’s reception.
While Gadot stopped short of directly blaming Zgler, her comments strongly imply that the actress’s outspoken political commentary contributed significantly to the movie's failure. This commentary, intertwined with the Hollywood pressure to take a stance on Israel and Palestine, added layers of controversy that detracted from the film’s potential.
