Gal Gadot, known for her role in ‘Wonder Woman,’ will be playing the part of Cleopatra in a new movie directed by Patty Jenkins. Gadot shared in an interview with InStyle magazine that the film would “celebrate the Cleopatra story” and highlight the historical figure’s strategic impact on the world today. She also addressed the backlash caused by her casting as Cleopatra, stating that the role was open to anyone of Macedonian descent, which Cleopatra was believed to be. Gadot expressed her admiration for the historic icon and hoped to honor her legacy through the film. With this movie, Jenkins and Gadot aim to tell a different tale than previous films about Cleopatra.
