“This isn’t a superhero franchise”: Gal Gadot Gets Trolled as Her Character Gisele Makes Return to $6.6B Franchise in Fast X
The Fast and Furious franchise has established its reputation through high-powered action, iconic characters, and breathtaking stunts. The latest installment, featuring an impressive collective cast, including the return of Gal Gadot as Gisele, has captivated fans worldwide. However, the 38-year-old reappearance has sparked a storm of mixed reactions, pushing her into the spotlight of social media criticism.
Fans have raised problems about both the revival of Gadot’s character and her involvement in a non-superhero franchise.
Gal Gadot Speaks Out About Long-Awaited Comeback In Fast & Furious
Fast X restores a character thought to be deceased, leading the star to voice her unexpected return through social media.
The film brags about the franchise’s largest and most impressive collective cast, with several familiar faces making a comeback, including Gal Gadot reprising her role as Gisele.
Following Gisele’s shocking appearance in the closing moments of Fast X, the actress takes to social media to express her excitement about reuniting with her Fast family.
In Fast & Furious 6, Gisele seemingly met her demise during a daring sequence, with Gadot’s gun-wielding hero bravely sacrificing herself by jumping from a moving vehicle into the depths of darkness.
However, Fast X reveals a surprising twist—Gisele is alive and thriving, aboard a submarine in the Arctic. In her Instagram post, she shares two sentimental photos from her time as a part of the franchise along with a text that expresses her unbounded thanks and passion for her followers. She said,
“Missed my Fast family! I’m overwhelmed with excitement. To my fans, your continuous love and support fuel this journey. Here’s to honoring the legacy, the fans and the #FastFamily that we’ve built together.”
While Gisele’s resurrection may not be entirely unexpected given the franchise’s history, her return to the film opens the door to intriguing possibilities for Fast & Furious 11.
In the wake of Gadot’s comeback, fans have shown predictable reactions, taking to social media to express their skepticism and mock her return.
As the Fast & Furious series continues to evolve, Gisele’s revival leaves a doubt mark on the franchise’s future, promising unforeseen developments and captivating storylines.
Gal Gadot’s Return Was Criticised By Fans
The mother of three is internationally recognized for her breakthrough role in the 2009 film Fast & Furious 5, boosted to stardom through her iconic portrayal of Wonder Woman in the DC movie universe.
However, her highly anticipated return to Fast X has sparked a controversy of criticism among fans. As news spread of her reprising the role of Gisele, social media platforms have become a battleground of mixed reactions.
Fans have raised valid concerns regarding the possibility of Gisele’s revival, considering her presumed demise in a previous installment. One fan’s remark, “This isn’t a superhero franchise,” represents the broader sentiment challenging the inclusion of a non-superhero character within the Fast and Furious universe.
No offense @GalGadot, I think I said as a joke to a few friends a year back that you'll come back alive lol
And you did 😂
This isn't a "superhero" franchise, so the fact characters come back from the dead like a videogame character 🎮 "re-spawned" is just a little to much.… pic.twitter.com/u7Dd7KOmVw
