Top 10 Gal Gadot Movies You Shouldn't Miss

Zack Snyder's Justice League is a DC superhero ensemble film, similar to Marvel's Avengers. The plot follows Batman (Ben Affleck) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) as they recruit other heroes to form the Justice League and stop the villain Steppenwolf (Ciaran Hinds) and his master, Darkseid (Ray Porter). If Steppenwolf succeeds in obtaining three Mother Boxes—devices capable of enslaving planets—Earth will be doomed.

The film is well-received for its deeper character development, making the heroes more relatable. Batman evolves from a skeptical figure into a decisive leader, helping the Justice League with strategy and weaponry. Wonder Woman's storyline explores the pain of her Amazonian people being slaughtered by Steppenwolf. Flash (Ezra Miller), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), and Aquaman (Jason Momoa) get more screen time compared to the 2017 version, with Cyborg becoming a key character. His powers are critical to the team's success in the final showdown.

Wonder Woman is widely regarded as the ultimate female superhero and an icon of feminism. She was even named an Honorary Ambassador of the United Nations for Women's Rights. As the princess of the Amazonian warriors in Greek mythology, Wonder Woman is also a descendant of the mighty Zeus. In the modern world, she leaves her homeland, Themyscira, to fight against evil forces in nations like England and the United States. With exceptional combat skills, the invulnerable body of a goddess, and divine weapons such as her bracelets, the Lasso of Truth, and Zeus's sword, she stands as one of the core members of the Justice League and is a key figure in its Trinity.

Her solo film, released in 2017, was a monumental success, marking the first time a female superhero took the spotlight on the big screen. Wonder Woman also became a symbol for gender equality, representing comic book characters as a United Nations honorary ambassador. The film stood out for its diverse characters and perfect balance of humor, action, romance, and emotion. Most notably, Gal Gadot's powerful portrayal of Princess Diana captured the heart and courage of the character.

Death on the Nile continues the thrilling investigations of the brilliant detective Hercule Poirot, following the success of the first film *Murder on the Orient Express*. What was meant to be a serene vacation along the Nile River quickly turns into a mystery when a murder occurs. Who is the victim and who is the killer? After the success of the 2017 film *Murder on the Orient Express*, director Kenneth Branagh brings the iconic detective Hercule Poirot back to the big screen with *Death on the Nile*, adapted from the famous novel by Agatha Christie. The luxurious river cruise aboard the S.S. Karnak was supposed to be a joyful and extravagant affair, as Linnet (Gal Gadot) enthusiastically declared, “I’ve rented the whole Karnak... a chef and enough champagne to fill the Nile,” celebrating with her new husband. However, all festivities come to a halt when a murder occurs. Fear, suspicion, and jealousy replace the earlier joy, and only the genius detective can solve the mysterious case.

In *Death on the Nile*, Gal Gadot’s elegance shines through her luxurious 1930s-style wardrobe and softly curled hair.
