Gal Gadot defends her decision to work in ‘Bitcoin’
While talking on the ‘Happy Sad Confused’ podcast, Gadot defended her decision to work on the upcoming film ‘Bitcoin’ and how AI will not replace any of the actors in the movie. Essentially, it has been revealed that AI technology will be used in the film to create the movie’s sets and lighting. Gadot defended her involvement in the project and revealed that her lawyers went through everything extensively to ensure that AI did not interfere with the characters that were being presented in the movie.She shared, “This was the longest contract I have ever worked on. It was six months for my lawyers to go through every scenario we could think about as far as the AI component of it. I did not want AI to have anything to do with my performance. We had to protect that to such an extent that SAG called my lawyers to ask for pointers to update the SAG contract to protect other actors. As far as the performances, it’s all me.” Alongside Gadot, the film also stars Casey Affleck, Pete Davidson, and Isla Fisher.She further shared that she does not wish to shy away from opportunities, adding, “I am afraid of AI, but I am going to be afraid and look away? No. I am afraid, but I am playing with it and learning it and trying to educate myself. The train has left the station. You’re going to work with it or be out of the game completely. I am trying to make the best of it and protect what I can protect.”
Will Gal Gadot return for ‘Wonder Woman’ ever again?
In the same interview, she provided some clarification about whether she would actually want to appear in her iconic DC superhero role of Wonder Woman. She shared that she would not prefer returning to the role, as it does not align with where she is in her life.She shared during the podcast episode, “For me to go do another Wonder Woman, I am not sure I would at this point in my life with four children and different schools and all of that. To check out from all of them for such a long period of time, it doesn’t work for my life anymore at this point.”Gadot debuted her Wonder Woman character in 2016 with ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ and appeared in four films overall, including two standalones. She last portrayed the character in ‘The Flash’ in a brief cameo role in 2023.
