The $70 million movie, which features Casey Affleck as the cryptocurrency inventor, utilized AI to reduce costs by enhancing sets and lighting. Gadot expressed her fear of AI but emphasized her determination to learn and incorporate it into the film, stating, \"I'm afraid and I'm playing with it and I'm trying to educate myself with it, because I think that the train had left the station.\" She explained that she and the crew wanted to protect her performance from AI interference, involving extensive legal negotiations. Gadot also discussed her departure from Wonder Woman, citing DCU co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran's decision not to handle the situation as gracefully as she would have preferred, particularly in comparison to Henry Cavill's exit.",
