Gal Gadot Claims Director Joss Whedon "Threatened My Career' During 'Justice League' Reshoot

[RandySF]

Actress Gal Gadot has amplified her previous remarks on director Joss Whedon, renewing the heat he’s experienced for his alleged toxic behavior toward the casts of tv shows Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the film Justice League.

Echoing the remarks of others about Whedon’s alleged behavior, Gadot has previously acknowledged her own run-in with Whedon. But she merely said at the time she had an “experience” with him, “which wasn’t the best one, but I took care of it there and when it happened. I took it to the higher-ups.”

In a Saturday interview with Israeli news outlet N12, Gadot elaborated on her prior statement, revealing the content of Whedon’s threat.
“He kind of threatened my career and said if I did something, he would make my career miserable, and I just took care of it instead,” Gadot claimed to N12 in remarks reported by several news outlets in and outside of Israel.

The clash reportedly came when Gadot pushed back on some new dialog Whedon had written. During the exchange, he also allegedly disparaged Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins.

Whedon has denied any wrongdoing.

Gadot has supported the claims of others, particularly her Justice League colleague Ray Fisher, who has condemned Whedon’s alleged behavior and decried the lack of support from WarnerMedia executives.

1. Whedon had the bright idea of Flash falling on Wonder Woman's breasts

It wasn't funny in Ultron, and it definitely wasn't funny in JL.

Gadot refused to do the scene so they had to use a stunt double.

Whedon attempted to demean one of the most awesome characters in the DC pantheon. He totally screwed up Cyborg's character arc (it reminded me how they screwed up Finn's arc in The Last Jedi).

Pretty much everything he added to Justice League was a mistake.

I am not entirely sure how Whedon got Avengers so right, and parts of Ultron were actually pretty good (with some real cringers like the breast thing and the Ultron dialog through the middle part of the movie). Ultron's opening and closing dialog was awesome though.

He butchered Justice League in so many different ways.

I did enjoy Firefly, Serenity, and Cabin in the Woods though.
