Gal Gadot opens up about her Cleopatra film
In her recent interview with Vogue Hong Kong, Gal Gadot extensively spoke about her ambitious project based on Queen Cleopatra’s life. The actress, who is all excited about the project, believes that the film will change the ‘narrative’ of the historical figure, who is considered more of a seductress than a queen by historians. “Israel borders Egypt, and I grew up with so many stories about Cleopatra, and she is like a household name. You know, if Wonder Woman is the imaginary strong female leader, Cleopatra is the real one,” said Gal Gadot in the interview.
“That is a perfect example of a story that I wanted to tell because I started reading different books about Cleopatra, and I said, ‘Wow, that’s fascinating.’ She was so ahead of her time.” she added. “I’m so passionate to tell her story and to bring justice to this character, and her legacy and celebrate her and her legacy. We have a beautiful script, and I cannot wait to share this story with the world and change the narrative of Cleopatra simply being a seductress,” concluded Gal Gadot.
