Gal Gadot Reportedly In Talks For Spy Thriller From ‘The Old Guard’ Writer

While there’s a lot of talk about Charlize Theron as the best female action star right now, Gal Gadot is doing a pretty good job keeping her name up there, too. The Wonder Woman 1984 star has another action flick in the works with Red Notice, and according to Discussing Film she’s bound for another that will team her up with comic book writer Greg Rucka and Skydance.

Details on the untitled project are slim, except that it could be a spy thriller in the vein of James Bond and Mission: Impossible. The pairing up with Rucka is interesting because his first film screenplay was for The Old Guard, which is red-hot for Theron and Netflix right now.

How about Gadot vs. Theron, please?

The plan was to shoot this spy flick during the summer, but COVID-19 has messed that up. Gadot has yet to finish shooting on Red Notice, which she stars in alongside Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds. She also has Zack Snyder’s Justice League coming, a Hedy Lamarr biopic, and sequel Death On the Nile.
