Gal Gadot her Cleopatra movie being unique

During an interview with an international publication, Gal Gadot  explained  the reasons behind Cleopatra being delayed. The actress assured all concerned that she was not necessarily worried about the delays as the team is going all-out to make sure the script is strong and factually sound. A standout feature of the flick,  led by a team of women, is that it will present Cleopatra as more than a charming queen. She will be rightfully portrayed as a strong leader. Gadot sounded excited to bring to light more worthy things about the historical figure and go beyond her infamous affairs with Mark Anthony and Julius Caeser.

She said, "They know she was a seductive person who had an affair with Mark Antony and Julius Caesar, but really when you read about Cleopatra and her life and legacy, and the empire she ruled, she was brilliant. There’s so much that we’ve never heard about her and I just want to celebrate that...It’s a big task. I don’t want to rush making it. It’s something that needs, so much thought and care because it’s Cleopatra."

Gal Gadot has a clear plan for the future

With Heart of Stone out on OTT, Gal Gadot now has some more time to dedicate to the Cleopatra movie. Not just that, the actress is also working on a contemporary interpretation of Alfred Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief under her own production company. Gadot signed off from the interview saying, "I just want to have a positive effect with whatever it is that I’m doing... in whatever role comes next."
