Los Angeles, Jan 7 (TIWN) Hollywood star Gal Gadot will play the ruler of ancient Egypt in a new movie that will be produced by her 'Wonder Woman' Director Patty Jenkins and give fans a teaser of what to expect from her take on the character.

“I can’t reveal a lot, but I can tell you that we’re going to celebrate the Cleopatra story,” Gadot revealed to InStyle in its February 2022 issue.  “We’re going to show not just how sexy and appealing she was, but how strategic and smart, and how much impact she had and still has on the world we’re living in today,” the “Wonder Woman” actress continued.  When Gadot’s role was announced in October 2020, backlash erupted over fears she’d be whitewashing the character. Critics believed that an Arab or African actress should play the role of Cleopatra.
