A fair amount of Gal Gadot Cleopatra movie news has been coming down the pipeline, both causing controversy and garnering a fair amount of anticipation. The famed ancient Egyptian queen has been depicted on the screen many times before but was most famously portrayed (and whitewashed) by actress Elizabeth Taylor in the eponymous 1963 historical epic. The latest actress to take up the mantle of Marc Antony’s lover was Casualty’s Adele James in Netflix’s pseudo-docuseries Queen Cleopatra. However, it seems that the Egyptian Queen’s story has a difficult time being told on the screen without creating controversy, as the docuseries was panned by critics.

Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot announced via Twitter all the way back in 2020 that she was teaming up with filmmaker Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman) and screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis to bring Cleopatra’s story back to the big screen, citing the importance of the tale being told through a woman’s eyes. Gal Gadot Cleopatra movie news was relatively scant following this announcement but has since reared up again now that development is well in progress. Here’s everything that’s known about the upcoming Gal Gadot Cleopatra movie, including the cast, story, release date, and what has audiences up in arms.
