Gal Gadot Fast & Furious

“I think the main reason was that the director Justin Lin really liked that I was in the military, and he wanted to use my knowledge of weapons,” Gadot says of her military background, which helped her land the role of Gisele in Fast & Furious. Three months later, the casting director from her Quantum of Solace audition chose Gadot over six other actresses for the role of Gisele Yashar in Fast & Furious 4, the fourth installment in the Fast & Furious franchise.

Gadot did her own stunts in those films. She appeared in the action-comedy Date Night and the action-adventure comedy Knight and Day in 2010. She returned to the Fast & Furious franchise in 2011, reprising her role as Gisele in Fast Five; she reprised the role in Fast & Furious 6 in 2013. Universal Pictures released Fast & Furious in theaters worldwide on April 3, 2009, and it was the first film to use D-BOX motion feedback technology.

The film received mixed reviews, with praise for reuniting the original cast and for the action sequences but criticism for the writing. It earned more than $360 million worldwide, defying expectations to become the franchise’s highest-grossing film at the time, as well as the 17th-highest-grossing film of 2009. It also earned $70.9 million worldwide in its first weekend, making it the highest-grossing worldwide spring weekend opening of all time until the release of Alice in Wonderland (2010). Fast Five, the sequel, was released in April 2011.

The video drew criticism from critics who saw it as an ineffective response to the pandemic; The New York Times’s Jon Caramanica called it “an empty and profoundly awkward gesture.” Gadot later admitted that the video did not receive the positive response she had hoped for, but she was unapologetic in explaining her reasoning.
