Gal Gadot reveals new image of BTS for the controversial final scene of Wonder Woman
DCEU actress Gal Gadot posts a new photo to Instagram of herself, revealing a behind-the-scenes look at Wonder Woman's controversial third act battle.
Gal Gadot has shared a behind-the-scenes look at Wonder Woman's controversial third act, which originally had a different and less action-packed ending. Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins previously addressed the changes to the ending, saying that Warner Bros. had her make changes at the last minute. Also, the tonal change in the portrayal of the character in Wonder Woman 1984 is clear evidence of the direction Jenkins wanted to take.
The DCEU iteration of the iconic comic book superhero has skyrocketed in popularity, with a Wonder Woman-centric video game in the works and a third solo outing for the character currently in development at Warner Bros. Wonder Woman 1984 received a lukewarm response from audiences and audiences alike. from critics, a far cry from the near-universal acclaim that the first Wonder Woman received. However, the third act was a sticking point for many fans, as people believed it had too many visual effects and bogged down the realism of the first two-thirds. Jenkins talking about having to change the ending of the movie to add more action only fueled controversy among fans.
The shared photo, which Gadot posted to her Instagram account, includes Gadot watching a cut of the scene with the caption: "So much drama...This seems to acknowledge the backlash many fans had to Wonder Woman ending. Gadot didn't specify in his post whether the photo was taken during production of the first Wonder Woman, but that's more likely given the nature of the post. Check it out below:
That's true of Wonder Woman's third act has a more typical superhero movie feel to it than the rest of the movie, which is very solid and old-fashioned. But the third act emphasized Diana's strongest points as a character: her compassion, her strength and her willingness to face evil in situations where she is needed. And these scenes keep track of the rest of the DCEU. Because Wonder Woman's portrayal of a tough, no-nonsense warrior was so well received with her appearances in Zack Snyder's films, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, it only makes sense that Warner Bros. would continue to benefit from the success of the franchise. After all, Gadot is the only actor in the DCEU to have received three solo movies thus far.
Gadot's photo shows the end of what it was: an exploration of Wonder Woman's humanity and her full range of emotions. Despite the backlash, the controversy simply points to the desire many have to see Wonder Woman handled properly. In a nutshell, the third act of the 2017 movie, as controversial as it is, showcases that beautifully. Wonder Woman 3, which Gadot recently said could start filming soon, he'll get a chance to continue the DCEU's trend of a powerful and balanced display of who she is. Wonder Woman is.
