Gal Gadot, best known for her role as Wonder Woman, has become an established action star. After starring in movies like "Red Notice," she is now set to appear in Netflix's spy thriller, "Heart of Stone." Gadot's character, Rachel Stone, is a formidable fighter and spy who could easily fit into franchises like James Bond or Mission: Impossible.

Gadot expressed her admiration for the Mission: Impossible and James Bond movies, stating that she had always wanted to play strong, powerful characters like the ones seen in those films. She mentioned that as a girl, she wondered if there was room for female-driven stories in this genre.

While she hasn't confirmed her involvement in either franchise, the idea of seeing her as a Bond girl is particularly exciting, especially since her DC co-star Henry Cavill has been rumored to portray James Bond.

In the trailer for "Heart of Stone," one can sense the James Bond-like atmosphere while still recognizing the film's originality and unique appeal as a female-driven action movie. Gadot's character represents a perfect action star who doesn't merely follow the traditional male narrative but instead utilizes her own skills and capabilities as a woman to save the day. The film aims to showcase a female character thriving in the action genre and offers a different perspective due to the inherent differences between men and women.

Gadot emphasized the importance of making "Heart of Stone" distinct, highlighting the fact that men and women are built differently and operate differently. Her character, Rachel Stone, possesses all the excitement, determination, and wit of her male counterparts but also exhibits deep integrity, empathy, and groundedness rarely seen in lead-action stars.
