Gal Gadot has drawn criticism for her casting as Cleopatra in a forthcoming film, which will star Patty Jenkins and be released in 2020.

Gal Gadot has revealed a fresh update on the Cleopatra movie she is set to feature in, which is progressing gradually but steadily. Gadot was slated to play Cleopatra in a brand-new motion picture based on the legendary monarch when it was first announced for 2020.

Although it was subsequently revealed that Jenkins had departed the project and Kari Skogland had taken over as director, the film was initially believed to reunite Gadot with Wonder Woman filmmaker Patty enkins.

Gadot said that the movie would “celebrate” the life of Cleopatra early last year, but since then, there have been no significant developments.

In a recent interview, Gadot affirms that her Cleopatra movie is still in production. She spoke candidly about how personal the film is because she was raised in Israel.
