Gal Gadot had Problems With Director of Avengers and Justice League
Gal Gadot, the role of Wonder Woman in Justice League, officially supported Ray Fisher's side in the conflict with Joss Whedon, claiming that she also had problems with the director on set.
- Gal Gadot confirmed Ray Fisher's accusations against Joss Whedon;
- The actress also had problems with the director, but she resolved them personally as soon as she could;
- In the meantime, Zack Snyder has announced the premiere date of the director's cut of Justice League - March 2021.
The conflict between Ray Fisher, who played the role of Cyborg in Justice League, and Joss Whedon and other people in charge of the film's pickups continues since July. The actor think very fondly of that time - he thinks he wasn't treated with due respect, and threats adressed at his further career was said to have been issued.
In September, Fisher was supported by his fellow actor, Jason Momoa, playing Aquaman. In a rather vulgar way, he began to defend Fisher and attack Whedon, emphasizing that someone finally needs to take the matter seriously. Now the two are joined by Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman. And she was forced to confront the director in unpleasant circumstances, but allegedly she settled the matter on the spot, not letting the director walk all over her. Nevertheless, she expressed her support for Ray Fisher and confirmed the truth of his words:
“I’m happy for Ray to go out and speak his truth. I wasn’t there with the guys when they shot with Joss Whedon — I had my own experience with [him], which wasn’t the best one, but I took care of it there and when it happened. I took it to the higher-ups and they took care of it. But I’m happy for Ray to go up and say his truth,” Gal Gadot for The Los Angeles Times
We had to wait a couple of months for the next cast members of Justice League to take the floor, but eventually it happens. And it's hard to believe that this would be some kind of actor conspiracy - most likely there have been some violations on the set, and Joss Whedon is at least partly to blame. Will there be further consequences? We'll see about that.
Meanwhile, Zack Snyder revealed in one of his online commentaries the premiere date of the director's version of Justice League. So far we knew that it would be released in 2021 on HBO Max. Now we also know that it will happen in March.
