"Same with Patty [Jenkins], was not handled elegantly," the actress says The post Gal Gadot Explains Her Wonder Woman Exit: ‘The Henry Situation Was Not Being Handled Elegantly’ appeared first on TheWrap .
Gal Gadot recently shared her thoughts on leaving the role of Wonder Woman in a podcast episode with Josh Horowitz. Initially, it was Gadot who decided to step away from the role after observing how her fellow DCEU actresses were treated. During a conversation with Horowitz, she explained that the plan for a new Wonder Woman was not initially her idea. However, she admitted that she saw the way others were handled and found it "not being handled elegantly."
Gadot's co-worker, James Gunn, had taken over the studio when deciding to rework the DC universe. This change in direction became a point of concern for Gunn, specifically regarding the exit of Henry Cavill's Superman character. When Cavill was unexpectedly announced to reprise his role as Superman, Gunn had to inform him that it would not be happening. Gunn described this situation as "unfortunate" and "unfair" to Cavill.
Gadot expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to portray Wonder Woman and hoped that whoever succeeds her would handle the character with respect and bring positivity to the world. She believed that the character holds deep significance for many fans and wished for it to be treated with care and respect moving forward.
