News culture “I was not an actress” Henry Cavill and this Hollywood star share one thing in common: they were rejected by the James Bond saga

The Spy Who Didn’t Love Me

Henry Cavill is not the only member of the Justice League to have been rejected by the James Bond saga. Years before playing Wonder Woman in the DCEU and becoming an action star, Israeli actress Gal Gadot took a chance on playing James Bond Girl in the 2008 film Quantum of Solace. At the time, Gal Gadot was not fully considering becoming an actress and was still pursuing law studies in Israel, as she explained to RSNG.

At first I didn’t want to go to the audition. It was in London and I told my agent that I didn’t speak English very well, that I wasn’t an actress and that I had no chance of getting the part. Additionally, I had just started my law studies in Israel and saw my life in a different way, but ultimately my agent kept calling me and convincing me and I decided to go when even.

A decisive preparation

The role ultimately went to Olga Kurylenko, but the actress has no bitter taste about it, quite the contrary. Her preparation for the casting ultimately played a determining role in her future and reinforced her idea of ​​pursuing an acting career.

Even though I didn’t get the role, the whole experience and process of auditioning and working on my acting made me realize that acting was my next big goal in life. I instinctively knew I could be good as an actress, and all my friends told me I should give it a try.

Only a few months later, Gal Gadot tried her luck for Fast & Furious 4. A role that she finally obtained and which according to her would have allowed her to be spotted by Zack Snyder for her most famous role, Wonder Woman .

Three months later, I landed the role in Fast and Furious 4 and those films gave me the opportunity to show what I can do. I’m sure the work I did in those films helped me get the role of Wonder Woman because Zack (Snyder) knew I could play a tough, physically aggressive woman.
