Gal and the real estate developer — who later ventured into producing with her — have been married since 2008 and share three daughters: Alma, nine; Maya, four; and baby Daniella, whom the actress gave birth to in June.
In announcing the action star as one of its honorees for the evening, ELLE focused out reports that she had stood up to ‘on-set mistreatment’ from Justice League replacement director Joss Whedon.
The publication cited a Hollywood Reporter article detailing how Gal stood up to Whedon after he was allegedly verbally abusive after she came to him with concerns over some of Wonder Woman’s dialogue in Justice League.
The actress stood up for herself over some of Whedon’s dialogue she thought was too aggressive to match with the character who had been seen in the first Wonder Woman film, and he reportedly threatened that ‘he can make her look incredibly stupid in this movie,’ a source claimed.
Although she told ELLE she was scared after the confrontation, Gadot held her ground, and she and Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins even met with then–Warner Bros. chairman Kevin Tsujihara to sort the issue out.

‘Oh, I was shaking trees as soon as it happened. And I must say that the heads of Warner Brothers, they took care of it….’ Gal said. ;
Going back to the sense of righteousness that I have…you’re dizzy because you can’t believe this was just said to you,’ she continued. ‘And if he says it to me, then obviously he says it to many other people. I just did what I felt like I had to do. And it was to tell people that it’s not okay.’
Next up, the A-lister will star with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Ryan Reynolds in the action comedy Red Notice, which will be distributed by Netflix in November.
She’s also gearing up to star as the Egyptian queen Cleopatra in an upcoming film that will reunite her with Jenkins.
The pair will be returning at least one more time for a third Wonder Woman film.
