Gal Gadot Snow White Flop: Disney’s much-hyped live-action Snow White failed to shine at the box office, and for the first time, Gal Gadot is opening up about the disappointment.

The Wonder Woman star, who played the Evil Queen, revealed on Israeli TV show The A Talks that she truly believed the film would be a hit. “I really enjoyed filming that movie, I had fun,” she said. “Even working with Rachel Zegler—we laughed, we talked, we had fun. I was sure it would be a huge success.”

But reality turned out different.

The Weight of Global Politics

Gadot admitted she was “disappointed” by the film’s poor performance, saying the atmosphere in Hollywood after October 7 played a role. “There was a lot of pressure on actors and creators to speak against Israel,” she explained. “I can give context about Israel, but at the end, people make their own choices.”

Still, she later clarified on Instagram that the film didn’t fail solely because of politics. “There are many factors in a film’s success or failure,” she wrote. “It was never guaranteed.”

No Rift With Rachel Zegler

Rumor of tension between Gadot and co-star Rachel Zegler went viral but Gadot put the rumors to rest. She said she loved to work with the young actress. “We jested and chatted. It was enjoyable,” she said

Protests, Isolation, and Personal Struggles

Away from the spotlight, Gadot also shared how challenging filming has been. While working on her thriller The Runner in London, she faced pro-Palestinian protests and was separated from her family. “I felt incredibly lonely,” she admitted.

Despite the difficulties, Gadot says she feels safest in Israel. “It’s much more complicated being Israeli outside of Israel,” she revealed. “When I’m abroad, I always have security detail.

Golden Globes Controversy

There was also the criticism made over the actress, who did not wear a yellow ribbon at the 2025 Golden Globes, which were symbolic to the Israeli hostages in Gaza. Gadot said she felt wrong putting the pin on to work. Perhaps it is a mistake.”

Looking Back: Regrets and Resilience

In one of her most personal admissions, Gadot confessed that her biggest career regret was appearing on HBO’s Entourage in 2009. “I hated filming it,” she recalled. “Someone was inappropriate with me, and I quit in the middle.”

She also reflected on pay inequality during her breakout in Wonder Woman. “Chris Pine got paid more than me, and I was Wonder Woman!” she revealed.

Albeit this, Gadot does not lose her strength. I am not that best actress, she also said, but my advantage is that I work hard and I never give up.
