Israeli actress Gal Gadot shared in a recent interview why she would not star in a third “Wonder Woman” movie, even if asked to by executives at DC Studios.

The actress played Wonder Woman in the DC Universe (DCU) when it was led by director Zack Snyder. She made her debut as Diana Prince in 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and then went on to star as the superhero in two standalone films directed by Patty Jenkins, 2017’s “Wonder Woman” and 2020’s “Wonder Woman 1984.” Gadot also played the Amazonian warrior princess in 2017’s “Justice League.” A third film about Wonder Woman was in development with Jenkins but was ultimately scrapped when James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios.

Gadot, who is now promoting her upcoming Netflix film “The Runner,” said in a new interview on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast that DCU executives said they would continue to work with her after Snyder’s exit but at the same time, she was not shocked that they shut down development of a third “Wonder Woman” film.

“They were like ‘We’re going to develop it with you, the third,’ la la la,” Gadot recalled. “But I saw the way everybody else were handled. The Henry situation was not handled elegantly to say the least,” Gadot shared, referring to Henry Cavill’s exit as Superman that stirred controversy when Gunn and Safran took over the studio.

“Same with Patty [Jenkins], was not handled elegantly. I feel like, you know, we’re all adults and we’re all good,” Gadot said. “I am so grateful I got the opportunity to wear these boots and have the character be so celebrated. I can only wish for whoever is going to be [next] to really come pure to this journey because … this character means so much to so many of us. To really use it respectfully and to use all the love and light they can to this world, and then enjoy the ride. It was never mine. I was always just a vessel. This is Hollywood.”

“For me to go to do another Wonder Woman, I am not sure I would at this point in my life with four children and different schools and all of that,” Gadot explained. “To check out from all of them for such a long period of time, it doesn’t work with my life anymore at this point.”

During the podcast interview Gadot also reminisced about working with Jenkins on the first “Wonder Woman” film and discussed what she looks for in future projects. “I’m not the type of person who has a 10-year plan,” she noted. “It’s not me. I’m much more, I go with the flow. I act from my instincts and intuitions and so far, it led me to where I am today, and I’m grateful for that.”
