While fans can be tough critics, Gadot was more concerned about a different audience: her daughter. "It might be a $10 million movie or it might be a $200 million movie".
"Women's careers move at a slower pace than their male counterparts, with men most often able to jump higher, faster", she said. For me, this internal dialogue really missed the mark.
Gal Gadot says there was a time in her life when she was thinking of quitting acting.
