EXCLUSIVE: Gal Gadot talks (briefly) about her Gisele comeback
Just when we thought Gal Gadot had put the Fast and Furious franchise in her rear-view mirror, up pops Gisele during the closing moments of Fast X. Ahead of Heart of Stone's release on Netflix this August, Gadot opened up oh-so-briefly about her returning to the Fast Family.
"Wow. I wish I could say something. If I'm going to say something to you, somebody is going to jump into my room and tie my mouth," Gadot jokes in the new issue of Total Film magazine, which is out on newsstands on Thursday, June 22.
"But Fast was the first feature I'd ever done as an actress. They were the ones to give me my first opportunity, my first break in Hollywood. And I'm forever grateful for that. And they're a community. They're like family. We still keep in touch. They have a special place in my heart and it's very exciting."
Gadot adds: "I think that the Fast Saga... They manage to create a huge, incredible, loyal fanbase like no one else. I've seen it nowhere [else], you know? And my love for them, and the love from the fans, and my love for the fans, it just felt right this time. And it's very exciting."
