Gal Gadot says Joss Whedon 'threatened' to damage her career while filming 'Justice League'

• Gal Gadot confirmed reports that Joss Whedon threatened to damage her career.
• The threats were made during "Justice League" reshoots.
• Gadot said she "just took care" after the threats were made.

Gal Gadot confirmed reports that director Joss Whedon threatened to damage her career while working on "Justice League" reshoots.

Gadot, who starred as Wonder Woman in the Warner Bros/DC film, told Israel's N12 News network: "He kind of threatened my career and said if I did something, he would make my career miserable and I just took care of it instead."

Last month, The Hollywood Reporter published an article that detailed clashes between Gadot and Whedon on the "Justice League" set, which included accounts from sources who said that after Gadot pushed back on some of the dialogue Whedon wanted her to say, the director threatened to harm her career.

Whedon, who took over the directing reins of "Justice League" after its original director, Zack Snyder, left the movie due to the death of his daughter, has continually denied any wrongdoing. The director did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Over the last year, several actors who previously worked with Whedon on a variety of projects have accused the director of abusive and toxic behavior on set. Those who have spoken out include Jason Momoa, who plays Aquaman, and Charisma Carpenter, who played Cordelia Chase on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

And when Ray Fisher, who plays Cyborg in the "Justice League" films, went public last year with his allegations of "gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable" behavior against Whedon, Gadot alluded to her own conflicts with the director.

"I'm happy for Ray to go out and speak his truth," the actress told the Los Angeles Times last December. "I wasn't there with the guys when they shot with Joss Whedon - I had my own experience with [him], which wasn't the best one, but I took care of it there and when it happened. I took it to the higher-ups, and they took care of it. But I'm happy for Ray to go up and say his truth."

THR also cited a knowledgeable source who said Gadot and "Wonder Woman" director Patty Jenkins "went to battle" with Whedon, which led to a sit down with then-Warner Bros Entertainment CEO Kevin Tsujihara.

And before the release of the original Zack Snyder cut of the film was released on HBO Max earlier this year, Deborah Snyder, Zack's wife and producing partner, told Insider that before Whedon's version was released in 2017, she reported an on-set incident involving Whedon to Warner Bros.

"There was one incident I was aware of that I had reported back to the studio right before the movie came out," she said. "I went to the higher-ups that someone came to me about Joss."

"I think it was resolved in a way that the person was happy with," Snyder added. "That's all I can really say."

Whedon's version of "Justice League" was famously panned by both critics and audiences.

Many have pointed out that the Whedon cut featured scenes in which Gadot's butt was front and center, which was even featured in the 2017 trailer. The scene, however, isn't seen on the home release of the film, Insider's Kirsten Acuna pointed out.
