Now We Know What Joss Whedon Did to Gal Gadot
We recently found out that Joss Whedon was a huge asshole to basically everyone he ever worked with. It was a typical Hollywood story. Whedon had the tiniest bit of success and thought he was a god, and his ego continued to get more and more out of control.
Even directing Avengers: Age of Ultron wasn’t enough to pop his bubble, as evidenced by his behavior on the set of Justice League, .which appears to have gotten him fired from his new series, The Nevers. That’s probably going to reinforce his ego when it gets canceled after 12 episodes and he goes “Yeah, but if I was there, it would have been a huge success that ran for six seasons, minimum. You know, like Firefly and Doll House.”
Gal Gadot had previously mentioned that she had her own issue with Whedon in the set of Justice League but didn’t elaborate on what happened and why, courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter.
Fisher was not the only Justice League star who was unhappy. Sources say Whedon clashed with all the stars of the film, including Jeremy Irons. And one Justice League star ended up taking her complaints not only to the head of the film studio but also to the chairman of Warner Bros. A knowledgeable source says Gadot had multiple concerns with the revised version of the film, including “issues about her character being more aggressive than her character in Wonder Woman. She wanted to make the character flow from one movie to the next.”
The biggest clash, sources say, came when Whedon pushed Gadot to record lines she didn’t like, threatened to harm Gadot’s career and disparaged Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins. While Fisher declines to discuss any of what transpired with Gadot, a witness on the production who later spoke to investigators says that after one clash, “Joss was bragging that he’s had it out with Gal. He told her he’s the writer and she’s going to shut up and say the lines and he can make her look incredibly stupid in this movie.”
Yes, Joss Whedon, like Harvey Weinstein, was going to ruin Gal Gadot’s career is she didn’t give him what he wanted. Of course, Harv wanted his dick sucked whether you wanted to suck it or not and Joss just wanted her to make a terrible movie and tell him how great he is, so he’s not as bad as Harvey Weinstein.
But Whedon does come off as cartoonishly evil. Like he’s the villain in every movie about a self-indulgent dickhead director. Like if they made a movie about this incident he’d be played by Russell Brand.
