The "Threat" Heard 'Round Hollywood
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the movie theater, Gal Gadot has issued what the internet is calling a terrifying "threat." The Wonder Woman star, apparently living in an alternate reality where the live-action Snow White wasn't a complete and total train wreck, is publicly lobbying for a sequel. Yes, she wants round two. And she is going straight to the top to get it.
The brazen power play went down at the swanky Women’s Guild Cedars-Sinai Snow Ball Gala in Beverly Hills. While accepting the Hollywood Icon Award—a title some Twitter users are currently debating—Gadot decided to put Disney CEO Bob Iger on the spot in the most public way possible. When Us Weekly asked if she would don the crown and poison apple again, Gadot didn't just say yes; she issued a command.
"I would love to do that. Yes. Tell Bob. Bob, I’ll do that," she declared, staring down the camera. It wasn't a humble request. It was a demand. Industry insiders are whispering that Gadot’s boldness is either the ultimate power move or a sign of pure delusion. We are talking about a movie that has been dragged through the mud for two years straight, lost Disney millions, and became the punchline of every joke in Hollywood.
More like Gal Gadot threatens to return as the Evil Queen. Is this a joke? Read the room, lady.
The audacity to pitch a sequel to a film that was labeled a "major loss" before it even left theaters is staggering. But Gal seems unbothered by the math. She is ready to suit up again, even if the audience is practically begging her to stay home.
The Box Office Titanic That Just Won't Sink
Let's recap the disaster that was the Snow White remake, shall we? Directed by Marc Webb and starring Rachel Zegler, the film was supposed to be Disney’s next billion-dollar baby. Instead, it became a cautionary tale of what happens when you try to "fix" a classic that nobody thought was broken. From the moment the first trailer dropped, the movie was plagued by bad buzz.
There was the "CGI dwarf" nightmare that had Peter Dinklage fuming. There were the incessant delays. And then there was the box office performance. While official numbers are often spun by studio PR wizards, the streets know the truth: this movie bombed. Hard. It struggled to find an audience amidst a culture war s torm that alienated half the country before opening weekend.
For Gadot to suggest a spinoff or a sequel now is like the captain of the Titanic asking for a second iceberg. It defies logic. Disney is currently in cost-cutting mode, slashing budgets and cancelling projects left and right. The idea that they would pour another $200 million into a franchise that is actively radioactive is laughable—unless, of course, Gal knows something we don't.
Lmao your film bombed for a reason. Why would they make another one? Disney likes money, not lighting it on fire.
Sources tell us that executives at the Mouse House are likely "cringing" at Gadot’s public campaign. The last thing they need is to reignite the Snow White discourse, which has been nothing but a PR headache since 2022. They want this movie to quietly fade into the Disney+ library, never to be spoken of again. Gal, apparently, didn't get the memo.
The Internet Roasts the Queen Alive
If Gal thought her fans would be rallying behind her for a return to the throne, she was sorely mistaken. As soon as the clip of her "Tell Bob" comment hit social media, the backlash was instantaneous and savage. The internet remains undefeated when it comes to roasting celebrities who lack self-awareness, and Gal is currently the main course.
The reactions ranged from confusion to outright hostility. Fans are tired. They are tired of remakes, they are tired of the drama, and they are apparently tired of Gal Gadot. One user went viral with a plea that sums up the current mood perfectly:
Please put a TW next time u post her face pls. My eyes can't take it anymore.
Ouch. When people are asking for a "Trigger Warning" just for seeing your face, you know the vibes are off. Others pointed out the sheer absurdity of spinning off a commercial failure. Usually, sequels are reserved for movies that, you know, people actually watched.
Spin off movie for Disney worst ever live action disaster? A sequel would definitely be an embarrassment. Who is asking for this? Literally no one.
The commentary section of every major entertainment blog turned into a war zone. For every die-hard Wonder Woman stan trying to defend her, there were ten critics ready to remind everyone why the first movie failed. The consensus? We are good, thanks.
"Problematic and Useless": The Political Firestorm
You can't talk about the hatred for this movie without addressing the elephant in the room: the politics. The Snow White press tour was a disaster of epic proportions, largely fueled by the alleged behind-the-scenes tension between Gadot and her co-star, Rachel Zegler.
While Zegler took heat for her "weird weird" comments about the original prince, Gadot has been a lightning rod for controversy due to her Israeli heritage and her service in the IDF. In the current geopolitical climate, her involvement in any major franchise brings with it a storm of boycotts and social media vitriol. The online comments regarding her potential return weren't just about her acting chops; they were personal.
WE DONT WANT HER SHES PROBLEMATIC AND USELESS. Keep her away from Disney. We are done.
The phrase "problematic" is being thrown around like confetti. Critics argue that her casting distracts from the movie itself, turning every premiere into a political debate rather than a celebration of cinema. For Disney, a company that famously tries (and often fails) to stay politically neutral to maximize profits, Gadot is a walking liability. Bringing her back for round two would essentially be inviting another year of protests and Twitter wars.
Rachel Zegler's Silence Speaks Volumes
Notice who isn't begging Bob Iger for a sequel? Rachel Zegler. The young actress, who played the titular Snow White, has been notably quiet about any future in the franchise. Rumors of a feud between the two leads have circulated for months, with insiders claiming their chemistry was non-existent and their worldviews incompatible.
If Gal gets her wish and a sequel is greenlit, would Zegler even sign on? A Snow White movie without Snow White would be a bold pivot, perhaps focusing entirely on the Evil Queen's backstory. But haven't we seen that before? (Hello, Maleficent). The difference is, Angelina Jolie's Maleficent made money. Gal's Snow White did not.
Industry whispers suggest that Zegler is eager to move on to other projects and leave the poisoned apple behind. If Gal is solo-campaigning for this, it makes the whole situation look even more desperate. It’s like throwing a party and being the only one who shows up.
Disney's Silence: A Deafening "No"?
So far, Disney has said absolutely nothing. No announcements, no press releases, no cryptic tweets from the official accounts. The silence is deafening. In Hollywood, silence usually means "No," but it can also mean "We are running the numbers."
Bob Iger is in a tough spot. He needs hits. He needs safe bets. Gal Gadot is a massive star with a huge global following, despite the loud online detractors. Is there a world where a streaming-only Evil Queen spinoff works? Maybe. But risking another theatrical release seems like financial suicide.
However, Hollywood is a town built on egos. If Gal pushes hard enough, and if she leverages her relationships with the right producers, stranger things have happened. But she is fighting an uphill battle against a fanbase that has clearly turned on her.
The Cliffhanger: Is Bob Crazy Enough to Do It?
We are left with the ultimate question: Will Bob Iger pick up the phone? Gal has put the ball in his court. "Tell Bob," she said. Well, Bob has been told.
If Disney announces a sequel, prepare for the internet to melt down in a way we haven't seen since the Star Wars sequels. If they ignore her, Gal suffers a public humiliation after shooting her shot so confidently. Either way, the drama surrounding this cursed production is far from over.
Gal is waiting by the phone. The fans are waiting with their pitchforks. Your move, Disney.
