She also notably starred in Terrence Malick's '' To the Wonder'' (2012), Martin McDonagh's dark comedy '' Seven Psychopaths'' (2012), the Tom Cruise science fiction film '' Oblivion'' (2013), Armando Iannucci's political satire film '' The Death of Stalin'' (2017), and Terry Gilliam's '' The Man Who Killed Don Quixote'' (2018).
The following year she starred in Terry Gilliam's epic adventure film '' The Man Who Killed Don Quixote'' (2018) starring Adam Driver and Jonathan Pryce where it premiered at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival.


Gal Gadot
Gadot is slated to play the Evil Queen in a live-action adaptation of Disney's 1937 animated film '' Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'', and she will also produce and star in a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1955 film '' To Catch a Thief''.

Evil Queen (Disney)
I remember growing up watching [it] and being completely freaked out by that scene where the evil queen becomes the old witch and she makes the poison apple." Film maker and actor Terry Gilliam listed the film's Queen among his eight favourite villains, commenting how "truly strange" is that "vanity and beauty are what she's all about, yet the identity she assumes when she becomes the old beggar woman is practically the ugliest in all the kingdom." Fairy tale lecturer Jack Zipes alike noted that "it is somewhat strange that the queen believes the mirror, for the picture of Snow White reveals that she is a pretty pubescent red-cheeked ordinary girl while the queen is a stunning beautiful mature woman who might easily win a beauty contest."


Gal Gadot
Also in 2016, she had a small role in John Hillcoat's crime-thriller '' Triple 9'', where she starred along with Kate Winslet and Aaron Paul.

Set entirely inside an apartment, the black comedy follows two sets of parents feuding over their respective children. Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly, and Christoph Waltz co-starred.

Christoph Waltz German and Austrian actor
Waltz has also starred in Roman Polanski's dark comedy ''Carnage'' (2011), Terry Gilliam's science fiction film '' The Zero Theorem'' (2013), Tim Burton's biographical film '' Big Eyes'' (2014), for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award, Alexander Payne's satire '' Downsizing'' (2017), Woody Allen's comedy ''Rifkin's Festival'' (2020), and Wes Anderson's comedy-drama ''The'' ''French'' ''Dispatch'' (2021).


Gal Gadot
Later that year, she co-starred in the action crime thriller film '' Criminal'', as the wife of Ryan Reynolds' character, alongside Kevin Costner, Gary Oldman, and Tommy Lee Jones.

Gary Oldman British actor and filmmaker
The 1984 production of ''The Pope's Wedding'' had been seen by director Alex Cox, who offered Oldman the part of musician Sid Vicious in the 1986 film '' Sid and Nancy''.

Alex Cox
Cox received a co-writer credit for the screenplay of Terry Gilliam's ''Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'' (1998) for previous work on the script before it was rewritten by Gilliam.
After creative disagreements with the producer and Thompson, he was sacked from the project, and his script rewritten when Terry Gilliam took over the film.
He was originally set to direct '' Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'' but was replaced by Terry Gilliam due to creative differences with Hunter S. Thompson.
