Gal Gadot, known for her iconic role as Wonder Woman in the DCEU and her appearances in major films like Fast and Furious, Red Notice, and Death on the Nile, has recently faced a setback with her latest release, Heart of Stone. 

**Gal Gadot's Vision for a Female-Driven Action Movie**

Before the release of Heart of Stone, Gadot spoke about the male-dominated nature of the action genre and her desire to create a female-driven action movie inspired by major franchises like the Bourne series and Mission: Impossible.

In an interview with Empire, she expressed her vision for the film, stating, "I wanted to create a really strong, female-driven action movie that is for everybody, not a male story that’s been done many times already."

**Heart of Stone's Reception and Critical Response**

Despite her enthusiasm and dedication to the role, Heart of Stone received mixed reviews and only achieved a 28% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

While Gadot's ambition to create a female-led action franchise was evident, the film fell short of expectations.

Gadot also acknowledged the influence of Tom Cruise, a legendary figure in the action genre, on her approach to the spy-action movie.
