Gal Gadot Reveals Why Snow White Tanked At Box Office: "There's Pressure On Celebrities To Speak Against Israel"
Washington: Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot shared her perspective on why Disney's live-action Snow White remake underperformed at the box office, reported Variety. During a recent appearance on the Israeli TV program The A Talks, as quoted by Variety, Gadot said 'Snow White's' poor box office performance was partially because of "pressure" in Hollywood to "speak against Israel" amid the ongoing conflict with Palestine. Gal Gadot was born in Israel. "You know, this happens a lot in various industries, including Hollywood. There's pressure on celebrities to speak against Israel. And, you know, it happened," said Gal Gadot as quoted by Variety. She continued, "I can always explain and try to give context about what's happening here. And I always do that. But in the end, people make their own decisions. And I was disappointed that the movie was incredibly affected by all of that and that it didn't do well at the box office. But that's how it goes. You win some, you lose some," as quoted by Gal Gadot. Alongside Gadot, the film starred Rachel Zegler as the titular Disney princess, Andrew Burnap as the Prince Charming stand-in Jonathan, Patrick Page as the Magic Mirror and Ansu Kabia as the Huntsman. According to Deadline, Gadot served in the Israeli Defence Forces for two years as part of her mandatory conscription, during which she participated in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war. Lebanon cited her service as the reason for banning Wonder Woman upon its 2017 release, The Washington Post reported at the time. Meanwhile, Zegler has been a vocal supporter of Palestine and Gaza, which reportedly did not go over well with Snow White producer Marc Platt amid promotion of the film, reported Deadline.

Playing villain is so much fun: Piper Perabo
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Los Angeles, Aug 17 (PTI) 'Covert Affairs" star Piper Perabo says essaying a negative character in spy thriller series 'Butterfly" has been a 'fun and relaxing" experience for her. Perabo portrayed the role of Juno, the evil head of a private intelligence corporation in South Korea, in the Prime Video series. Also starring Daniel Dae Kim, the series made its debut on the streamer on August 13. 'Playing the villain is so much fun…I think the villains in Hollywood keep that secret to themselves so that they don't have to give up the great parts," the 48-year-old actor told Variety in an interview. 'I think it's so relaxing. The getaway car pulls up to you, there's no running. You have an endless supply of weapons. It's very relaxing," she added. Directed by Kim Jin-min, Jann Turner, and Kitao Sakurai, the series comprised six episodes and got mixed responses from the audience. It is based on the graphic novel series of the same name, and follows David (Kim), Juno's former partner, who comes out of hiding to save his daughter, Rebecca (portrayed by Reina Hardesty). The back story follows David leaving Rebecca in Juno's care nine years earlier, after one of his missions goes wrong and he has no option but to fake his death. Speaking of character, Perabo said, 'I like how clear Juno's sense of purpose is." 'I always think of her like when you were a kid and you're on the athletic fields and there's this parent on the sidelines who's screaming at their kid and just humiliating them and pushing them. That's who I think Juno is," she added.
