SUMMARY
  • Gal Gadot has been the part of two of the successful franchises in Hollywood, but not much success in standalones.
  • She is reportedly letting go of her bias with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively in favor of Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley.
  • Robbie and Ackerley are allegedly strong competitors of Lively and Reynolds who have had a strong hold on the industry for years.

Gal Gadot might have portrayed the DC superhero Wonder Woman on the screens, but that does not seem enough to work wonders for her career. Although she has been twice placed as one of the world’s highest-paid actresses and has been part of some highly successful franchises, she does not seem to be doing too well when it comes to landing new projects.

Gadot starred as one of the lead characters in the 2021 Netflix action-comedy Red Notice. Her co-stars were Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson, both of whom have been quite busy with their respective endeavors lately. An insider has recently claimed that Reynolds and Johnson not stepping up for a Red Notice sequel has led to Gadot switching sides and teaming up with Margot Robbie and her husband Tom Ackerley.

Gal Gadot comes from a modeling background and also won the Miss Israel national beauty pageant over two decades ago. She lost her chance at a big screen debut in the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace.

Luckily for her, the casting director had taken a liking to her and sought her for the role of Gisele Yashar in the action film Fast & Furious. Thereafter, she had small roles in several films, but that changed when she became part of DCEU, another huge franchise.

However, apart from this, Gadot has not had much success in standalone films. She even wanted Red Notice to become a franchise with a sequel. An insider has recently disclosed to Life & Style Magazine that Reynolds and Johnson keeping it on hold has led to Gadot making some harsh decisions.

That wait turned into two years and Gal lost patience with Dwayne and Ryan, who had multiple other projects lined up. That’s precisely when Gal pivoted and started sucking up to Margot and Tom, who totally love her and are trying to find something to do with her.

As for the Red Notice sequel, the insider noted:

Meanwhile, a Red Notice sequel is becoming more and more of a pipe dream by the day as Ryan and Dwayne service their other movie franchises.

Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley’s production studio LuckyChap Entertainment hit gold with last year’s blockbuster Barbie. On the other hand, Reynolds and Lively are also doing well with Deadpool & Wolverine‘s immense success and It Ends with Us having all media attention. So, the claims seem reasonable that Gadot is seeking Robbie and Ackerley’s help to further her career.

Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley Are Reportedly Offering Strong Competition to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

If reports are anything to go by, Lively and Reynolds seem to have competition against Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley. In fact, the rivalry between these two Hollywood couples is allegedly causing other actors the dilemma of siding up with one.

In late August, a source claimed to Life & Style that these two powerful couples are in strong competition with one another.

It’s becoming painfully clear that you can’t be friends with Margot and Tom and also be friends with Ryan and Blake, and it’s really forcing a lot of A-listers to pick sides. These two couples are the most powerful people in the movie business right now and they all love working with other household names and big celebrities.

The success of Barbie has reportedly got many to side with Robbie and Ackerley. Even so, it has to be noted that Reynolds and Lively are backed by global pop sensation Taylor Swift, who has been friends with the couple for years.
