A good deal of debate and excitement have been generated by the Gal Gadot Cleopatra movie rumors that have been making the rounds. The great Egyptian queen has been represented on movie numerous times, but Elizabeth Taylor’s portrayal in the 1963 historical epic of the same name is the most well-known, if sanitized. In the Netflix pseudo-docuseries Queen Cleopatra, Adele James from Casualty assumed the role of Marc Antony’s lover. Critics criticized the docuseries, suggesting that it may be impossible to tell the story of the Egyptian Queen without causing controversy.

Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot announced via Twitter all the way back in 2020 that she was teaming up with filmmaker Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman) and screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis to bring Cleopatra’s story back to the big screen, citing the importance of the tale being told through a woman’s eyes. Gal Gadot Cleopatra movie news was relatively scant following this announcement but has since reared up again now that development is well in progress. Here’s everything that’s known about the upcoming Gal Gadot Cleopatra movie, including the cast, story, release date, and what has audiences up in arms.
