'Cleopatra is a story I wanted to tell for a very long time.'

are upset about the casting choice and believe the role should have gone to an Egyptian or Black actor, which would be great to see regardless. Just because a character is historically white doesn't mean we can't have people of color playing them!

There have been a number of movies over the years depicting the Queen of the Nile, but the most famous was Elizabeth Taylor's – it was nominated for nine Oscars and won four. I'm betting Gal's portrayal will be just as amazing!Tons of people are stoked about the upcoming film, including Cleopatra herself:I love embarking on new journeys,I love the excitement of new projects, the thrill of bringing new stories to life.Cleopatra is a story I wanted to tell for a very long time.

Cant we pick another Pharoah? There are some dope Pharoahs that should have movies on them too.

Well good luck, you can NEVER compare to Elizabeth Taylor!

Why though?

Gale does look Greek. Seems like good casting here.

Recently I watched “Wonder Woman”. AuriaChrista

I was ripped off for officialavatar (LaetaKalogridis ghostwriter) & iRobot overseen by Emma Watts rupertmurdoch's 20thcentury My lawsuit vs JimCameron & his Lightstorm_Ent uncovered documents w/ written directives from GalGadot's 'Irena Sendler' Director stuarthazeldine

Good grief Charlie Brown. Didn’t any of you watch the Nina Simone movie? Lessons are to be learned.

This is a fucking mess.. Of all Egyptian and Arabian actresses in the middle east who can truly play the role really well weren’t convenient enough so they chose an Israeli one ? Cliché

Here for this!

I'm still perplexed by the fact the Cleopatra project is even a thing... is Hollywood addicted to failure. Unless this is a low budget movie, this is dead on arrival. These movies generally flop at the box office. Dedicate funds to something that's likely to be a success.

Ewwwwwwwwwww

I’M SO EXCITED!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

😕

Can we also admit she’s not a great actor? It’s not just me right

Holy mother, i would definitely watch this movie

Of course she will lol

Honestly, I'd love for this👇 woman to be cast as Margaret Thatcher. That woman deserves a movie in her honour

Gal is perfect. Cleopatra was pure Greek. Black supremacists need to stop appropriating history.

Well she was born in Israel so closer than Liz Taylor let's face it. People won't be happy unless ya get a greek who has died and been mummified.

This is complete and utter BS. This woman is white, and this role belongs to a WOC. Good job, Hollywood. whitewashing still exists within Hollywoodsowhite. But please, justify how this is ok because “cLeO wAs GrEeK”. Americans should really not correct anything about race!

If your going to cast a white woman for this role in 2020, they should have at least given it to the woman who has been after the role for literal years!

Uh........

That's awesome news

Well casting for these Cleopatra films are getting warmer but still not hot.

Things that make you go Hmmmmm, AGAIN!

Ent she doesn’t look very African too me.

Can’t wait to not watch! 🥰🥰🥰

Still getting it wrong in 2020
