Published 06/25/2023, 9:30 AM EDT

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gal Gadot recently sparked excitement on social media. They attended a Netflix fan convention and took a moment to take one selfie together. The former bodybuilder sent the internet ablaze when he posted the picture posing alongside the talented actress. The picture received nearly a million hearts and thousands of comments from fans who were thrilled to see them together in one frame. And amidst the hype for this perfect duo, the 38-year-old actress has rolled out a new statement about the action genre.

In her latest interview with Total Film, Godot opened up about how the action genre should be more thoughtful about female leads. She stated that Hollywood has been putting females in the center of action films but without changing stories. They are just gender-swapping without realizing that the lead role must relate. This is why Gal Gadot wanted to work on a story where a woman doing action can thrive on her own.

“To me, it was so important in the DNA to make Heart of Stone a little different, because men and women are different,” she added. From where she sees it, stories about male and female leads should be structured differently because they wield different characteristics. In a nutshell, the Israeli actress reckoned that her upcoming movie will be a perfect example of what female action heroines are capable of.
