beating out other suitors such as Apple, Universal, Warner Bros. and Netflix. Gadot will get a chance to put her mark on a role previously essayed by the likes of Claudette Colbert and Elizabeth Taylor, playing a woman who romanced Julius Caesar and Marc Antony and served as the last ruler of Egypt’s Ptolemaic Kingdom. Taylor’s version proved to be so costly that 20th Century Fox nearly went bankrupt — hopefully this one will be less lavish.
There have been a number of Cleopatra projects kicking around Hollywood in recent years, including a project at Sony that at various points was rumored to star Angelina Jolie and Lady Gaga. It’s unclear what’s going on with that project.Paramount Motion Picture Group President Emma Watts and the studio’s chairman Jim Gianopulos reportedly pushed hard to land “Cleopatra.
Gadot is represented by WME and Jenkins is represented by CAA. The two are also collaborating on “Wonder Woman 1984,” the superhero sequel that is expected to debut in December.
Wow if the “anti Gal Gadot as Cleopatra“ crowd keep going the way they are they’re going to feature in an episode of South Park in the near future.
You haters are so stupid. Cleopatra was greek, not black or Egyptian. Read a history and get off twitter.
She is wrong choice. Producers should cast Kate Mara because she has got Cleopatra face and looks also, while Gal face seems to be more heroic than romantic one.
All hail the Queen!!
Doood
Will this movie almost bankrupt Paramount like it almost did to Fox in the 60's
I probably wouldn't have bothered to see this film. But since it is triggering so many snowflakes on woke twitter I may just pay to see this 5 times.
Her ancestors were the enemy of Egypt 😂 the jokes write themselves.
You ppl are sick, it's a film and she's a actor.... Honestly the world today disgusts me
Yeah, she could pass for Greek.
Halle Berry or someone like her would have been a better choice. Cleopatra was not as white as Gal. I believe she was biracial. Patty needs to step back think truth to the story, not her love for Gal.
Stop making Gal Gadot happen. It's not going to happen! 📢
They can’t find a biracial black woman who is shorter with longer hair that speaks Arabic that’s an Egyptian god that had already died? Lame.
Get Scarlett!
She actually wasn't hot in real life.
Noooo!! 😩
Also Cleopatra wasn't 'traditionaly' beautiful lile Gal is JS
Oooof. White hollywood casting. Ladies love you both GalGadot but Cleo was half African. Please don’t try to continue the white male rewriting of history. At least go with an Egyptian actress, There is one who is half Greek half Egyptian PattyJenks....many options.
WTF this shouldn't ever ever ever happen😡
Do we need another Gal Gadot movie?
Another Zionist in Hollywood 🤮
Would like to see Sarah Silverman play ACB in a miniseries about judicial committee hearing.
Not a single Egyptian actress in the world to play Cleopatra?

So excited for this new Cleopatra biopic movie!!! ❤️💃✨
I don’t know if the world is asking for bloated historical epics about now. But hey it’s not my money. Lol
ReNellGlover Who needs this? She has been portrayed a bazillion times. Looks like a vanity project that will be injected with feminism and moral BS which will most likely make it look like complete BS historically. Not a good move for Gal. GalGadot
🍆
Wow all this time I thought Cleopatra was a Black Woman
I'm fine with that.
Do we really need another Cleopatra movie ?
Lame. It would be far more accurate to have a biracial woman play her. She was half greek and half african just like the half sister who’s remains they discovered a few years back.
Jewish girl plays Arab queen...ok:)
Not sure how interesting that story would be, right? Could be neat I guess, and she has a good enough look for it.
Wait wasn’t cleopatra black or at least North African?
They both have learned nothing in the last six months. Culture appropriation is not cool. Smfh
Well I know myself and a shit tonight black people ain't watching this shit
?

No thanks.
I was ripped off for officialavatar(LaetaKalogridis ghostwriter) & iRobot overseen by Emma Watts rupertmurdoch's 20thcentury My lawsuit vs JimCameron & his Lightstorm_Ent uncovered documents w/ written directives from GalGadot's 'Irena Sendler' Director stuarthazeldine
lança primeiro os filme q ja tem, depois vai fazer outros
Nope
Jesus can't people just make a movie without race politics. If ii wanna make an Egyptian movie and cast Dani DeVito as Cleopatra or Mandela or SpongeBob thats my choice.
White Jewish woman playing an Egyptian with syrian heritage ok
I can't wait until PM Golda Meir biopic starting Cherien Dabis is announced.
Either give Egypt the recognition and portrayal it deserves, or leave it the hell alone. We don't need another shitty, white washed Hollywood movie. Made it even worse by casting an isreali.
There’s no other rulers in Egypt they can make movies about?
🤔
More interested in seeing a Nefertiti or Hatshepsut movie. The casting isn’t an issue. The choice to tell that particular story again is
I love Gal, but the role of Cleopatra should be given to an Arab actress.
The best Actor/Director combo we’ve seen in years!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love GalGadot but this ain’t the move shawty
So will they also cast LeoDiCaprio to play Mansa Musa next? Asking for a friend.
We don’t want this. At all.
Should be on the big screen by 2030 🥴
Perfect casting.
When an actor of color is cast as Cleopatra, I may give a d*mn. In this time of 'Oscars So White', you would still perpetuate the color myth? FYI: Viola Davis, Lupita Nyong'o, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Angela Bassett, Lashana Lynch, Beyoncé, Regina King, Jennifer Hudson, Taraji P. Henson.
Where is the new wonder woman movie? Give that to Disney+ I cant wait any longer
While yes, she was born in Egypt, her lineage traces back to Macedonia. She was one of the first pharos to speak egyptian from her bloodline. (White washing is a real issue in the media, but we need to focus the energy where it's warranted)
No one care
Ugh she’s annoying
this is so bad already👎👎👎
I love rehashed movies that no on asked for
No disrespect but why are people getting angry about this
Wonderful
Was Scarlet Johansson not available? This is going to be a mistake.
Awesome news Gal is the best for this role
Ion like that
My dad works at Paramount...oh to be meeting Gal in person!💞😇
The funny thing about BlackTwitter kicking off over GalGadot playing Cleopatra (who was Greek not Black) is their continued refusal to acknowledge the Egyptians, who they claim are their ancestors, were MASSIVE slavers..
I'm very proud to be a fan of Gal and Patty 😍🥰
Luiz_Fernando_J
Well if Cleopatra was black.. she fell for kanyewest scam to this day.... got big went for the White Man (Julius Ceasar ) ...🙅♂️🙅♀️🤦♂️🤦♀️🤷♂️🤷♀️
And it’ll probably have unambiguous black actors and extras relegated to only being the guards, domestics, and slaves. We all know how this goes.
To be honest this pic GalGadot is a game changer a Israeli playing a Arab!! You know we advanced as a world...that is unheard of 20 years ago!! So actually makes sense!! Sort of a pin in eyes of old school Hollywood, 1963's Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor Gal might be a extra!!
Flop
Yes, good casting. I can see this girl as Cleopatra.
They shouldn't be doing another Cleopatra movie. They should be doing a Hatshepsut or Nefertiti movie with black actresses.
Wow 😳
Paul Mooney is about to have a stroke
I hope this film tanks big time!
Horse face Scarlett Johansen busy? LOL
🤣😂😅🤣😀
WE HAVE TO ENJOY OURSELVES TOO WHILE THE POWERS THAT BE TUGAWAR THE EARTH OVER THE PIT OF HELL VanHalen NewNormal TrumpKnew TrumpKnewAndDidNothing Pence PenceKnew ProudBoys
Apparently Egyptian women are STILL white! Wow.
This is what historians think Cleopatra looked like. This it facial reconstruction of Arsinoe’s bones - Cleopatra’s sister Someone having an ancestor 300 years back does not define you as looking like them. Nor are Macedonian traditionally Greek
Ptolemy was Macedonian general under Alexander The Great. After Alexander died, his empire was split up. Ptolemy received Egypt and the Ptolemaic Dynasty was born. Cleopatra and her brothers Ptolemy 13/14 ruled Egypt until they died. She was Greek but she lived as an Egyptian.
👏 STOP 👏 NORMALIZING 👏 Gal Gadot 👏 FOR 👏 PLAYING 👏 ANYTHING 👏 OTHER 👏 THAN 👏 SOMEONE 👏 WHO 👏 SUPPORTS 👏 GENOCIDE 👏 AGAINST 👏 PALESTINIANS Instead of Cleopatra she should play a war criminal.
Oh good, as long as she isn't white, who cares how horrible she is at acting? Am I getting this wokeness stuff correct?
Looks like people don't understand the meaning of the word actor
Despicable casting of a zionist israeli. Paramount should be ashamed of themselves
(((They))) steal everything else why not this?
🤮
There they go with that bullshit!
I'm excited
Who the fuck asked for this boring whitewashed crap
But cleopatra was black she should be played by a black actress.
I'm still hate bill maher and i really hate family guy and stop ruining coronavirus!!!!
Love her 🙌🏼❤️
i loved it will be perfect
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
she's taking all of Angelina Jolie's gigs.
yes all there is gal gadot does is perfect i will watch
Better be like 3+ hrs long
A good news perhaps.
Whitewashing is coming.
Wow that sounds cool
Impeachment! Supreme Court Dissension Executed & Supreme Court Overturned 'House of Representatives Shall have Sole Power of Impeachment!' 'The Senate Shall try Impeachments Enforcing Precedent/Punishment by and with Advise of Laws Necessary and proper for inferior officers'
Hmm. I thought this was Angelina's big project?
