Gal Gadot wants to launch her own spy franchise with the release of Heart of Stone on Netflix.
The movie will be released on 11 August 2023 and tells the story of an intelligence agent, played by Gadot, who must prevent an artificial intelligence system named 'The Heart' from falling into the hands of terrorists.
It co-stars Jamie Dornan, Alia Bhatt, Sophie Okonedo, Matthias Schweighofer, Jing Lusi, Paul Ready, Jon Kortajarena and Archie Madekwe.
Gadot wants the movie to kick off a franchise akin to James Bond, Jason Bourne and Mission: Impossible.
“They are brilliant films that have such a huge legacy. I am just a simple woman who loves this genre and loves these movies," she told the Strait Times.
“After the success of Wonder Woman, when I realised there was truly an audience – of men and women – for female-led action films, that gave me the confidence to go and make this movie."
Gadot provided some details on the extensive stunt work that was required on Heart of Stone which left her a little banged up.
“I got so many bruises,” the actress continued.
“Every time I film these types of movies, I always think: ‘Okay, that was the most I’m ever going to be able to do – it can’t get any crazier than that.’
“And then comes the next movie, and the bar just keeps on going up and up. Coming into this, I knew we were going to have huge set pieces, but we had action up in the sky, on the snowy mountain, on the beach, on the street – every type of exterior.
“It’s very physical and it takes months of training prior to filming. But we’re very lucky. We have such incredible stunt teams making sure everything we did looks good and keeping us safe at the same time.”
After Heart of Stone, Gadot's next movie will be a new version of Snow White in which she will play the Evil Queen.
