I’d always imagined our first Valentine’s Day as a married couple would be full of romance and passion. But on 14 February in 2019, I instead found myself lying on a hospital bed next to my husband Ciaran, who was going through chemotherapy. Sweetly, he’d still managed to get me a balloon and a teddy with some help from the nurses.

(CNN)History has a way of repeating itself.I've written about controversy surrounding White actors portraying characters of color -- a practice that has existed throughout Hollywood's history -- multiple times.In the most recent iteration of this pattern, Israeli-born actress Gal Gadot has been cast to play Cleopatra, ancient queen of Egypt, in an upcoming film that will reunite her with "Wonder Woman" director Patty Jenkins.This is not a new story, but it is a complicated one.Because while Cleopatra ruled over Egypt, there has long been debate over whether she had African ancestry, given that she hailed from a long line of Macedonian Greeks.

One of the hallmarks of superhero filmmaking in the modern, post-Marvel Studios model is to find a lead actor to portray the main character and grossly underpay them in their first film. You get away with that, of course, because there aren’t many credits for the actor and thus, no reason to pay them tens of millions of dollars.

Wonder Woman 1984 was one among the most anticipated movies of 2020. Fans of the DC female superhero were eager to see Gal Gadot wear her golden armour and present a memorable experience.

Gal Gadot won millions of hearts post her stint in Wonder Woman back in 2017. Her utter beauty and fierce role literally left the critics dumbfounded.

Months after her star-studded 'Imagine' cover received backlash on social media, Gal Gadot has opened up about the same in an interview with Vanity Fair. Just to refresh your memory, the video was shot during the first few weeks of the coronavirus pandemic featured the Wonder Woman star and some famous friends  like Avengers: Endgame actor Mark Ruffalo, Jimmy Fallon, Amy Adams, and Will Ferrell among others singing along to John Lennon's peace anthem.Netizens were quick to criticize the video and said that if Gal Gadot was so concerned she could have just donated some money to those who have lost their livelihood due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Gal Gadot has responded to criticism of the viral video of herself and other stars singing John Lennon’s Imagine, saying: “I had nothing but good intentions.”

$590-million yacht could hold a candle to the astonishingly tone-deaf “Imagine” video that premiered in mid-March. The Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot assembled a vast amount of star power to share what they earnestly believed to be an uplifting, effective message: “We are in this together, we will get through it together.” Of course, unlike Will Ferrell, Natalie Portman, Cara Delevingne, and a number of usually unproblematic celebrities, “we” have yet to do so from multimillion-dollar second homes. So, what on Earth was Gadot thinking? Seven months later, Nancy Jo Sales managed to procure some semblance of an explanation for the November issue of Vanity Fair.

Wonder Woman star opened up in a new Vanity Fair piece on Tuesday after in March, she posted a video in which celebrities including herself, Kristen Wiig, Will Ferrell, and others sang John Lennon's "Imagine." It was meant to be seen as inspirational as the world went into COVID-19 lockdown, but it was instead the subject of mockery as many deemed it out of touch."Sometimes, you know, you try and do a good deed and it's just not the right good deed," Gadot told Vanity Fair.

Gal Gadot is acknowledging the viral celebrity-filled «Imagine» video that didn't quite land at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. The video features Gadot and many other stars singing along to John Lennon's «Imagine» in what was meant to be a show of unity.

Gal Gadot has confirmed she will star in a new Cleopatra biopic, reuniting with her Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins.

A couple of years ago it was reported that Denis Villeneuve was going to helm a new film about Cleopatra, but it seems that film (if it ever materializes) will have some competition. It was just announced that “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins and star Gal Gadot will reunite for their own version of “Cleopatra,” for Paramount Pictures.
