Gal Gadot confirms Brett Ratner isn’t a part of Wonder Woman 2

Last week Page Six ran a report, alleging Gal Gadot told Warner Bros. she wouldn’t sign on for Wonder Woman 2 unless Brett Ratner, the producer who helped finance the first Wonder Woman film, is removed from the equation. If you’ve been following the news, then you know Brett’s been accused of sexual assault and harassment by several women in Hollywood, including Olivia Munn, Natasha Henstridge, and Ellen Page. So it’d make sense Gal wouldn’t want him a part of the Wonder Woman franchise because it’s been lauded for depicting strong, empowering, and three-dimensional women.

But the report isn’t 100 percent accurate. Gal confirmed Wednesday on the Today show that, yes, Brett won’t be involved with Wonder Woman 2, but it’s not just because she demanded it. The decision was made long before Page Six’s report hit the Internet, and several people involved with the production felt the same way.

“The truth is, there’s so many people involved in making this movie, it’s not just me, and they all echoed the same sentiments,” Gal said. “Everyone knew what was the right thing to do. But there was nothing for me to actually come and say because [the decision] was already done before this article [on Saturday declaring a stand-off] came out.”

Gal has been a vocal champion for the female celebrities who’ve come forward with their sexual assault and harassment stories by powerful men in Hollywood. “Bullying and sexual harassment are unacceptable! I stand by all the courageous women confronting their fears and speaking out,” Gal posted to Instagram on October 13. “Together we stand. We are all united in this time of change.” See her post for yourself, below:
