It’s Okay to Dream of Being an Action Star
Speaking about launching her own action franchise, Gadot claimed thatWonder Womanwas the launchpad for her dreams of becoming an action star in her own right. “I thinkWonder Womanwas the thing that really gave me the confidence that it’s OK to go dream and produce a movie that is a female-driven action film – a thriller – for everyone to enjoy,” she said.
‘Jaron [Varsano], my husband, who is also my partner in life and in the production company [Pilot Wave] that we’ve had – we had a meeting with David Ellison [CEO of Skydance Media] back in 2017. And at the end of the meeting, he asked me, ‘What do you want to do?’ And I told him, ‘I want to do this. This is what I want to do.’ We shook on it that day, and here we are.”
The synopsis for the film can be found here:
Rachel Stone (Gal Gadot) appears to be an inexperienced tech, on an elite MI6 unit headed up by lead agent Parker (Jamie Dornan). What her MI6 team doesn’t know is that Stone actually works for the Charter — a covert peacekeeping organization, secret even from other spies, which uses cutting-edge technology to neutralize global threats. Rachel has been trained to be the consummate professional: a phenomenal field agent who sticks to the mission, follows the numbers, and trusts no one. When a routine mission is derailed by mysterious hacker Keya Dhawan (Alia Bhatt), Rachel’s two lives collide. As she races to protect the Charter and strives to beat the odds, her humanity might just be her biggest asset.
