Gal Gadot signed for three movies as Wonder Woman

We already knew that Israeli model-turned-actor Gal Gadot will appear in Batman vs. Superman (aka Man of Steel 2) as Wonder Woman, but the character won’t stop there. When Gadot inked her deal to portray the Amazonian superhero, she signed on for three pictures, according to Variety.

The news isn’t really surprising given the way studios are approaching superhero franchises – the record for multi-film agreements goes to Samuel L. Jackson, who signed on to appear in a whopping nine Marvel films – but it does seem to confirm that DC has long-term plans for the Amazonian princess. Following Wonder Woman’s appearance in Batman vs Superman, the character will likely appear in the often discussed but as-yet-unconfirmed Justice League film. After that, the character’s future falls into the realm of even more conjecture and rumor.

Warner Bros. has repeatedly claimed that Wonder Woman is high on the list of properties to adapt, but so far both TV shows and proposed films have fallen apart. Most recently, a Wonder Woman show titled Amazon was under development for the CW, but it was eventually scrapped. Prior to that, director Paul Feig (The Heat, Bridesmaids) pitched a Wonder Woman comedy, which WB briefly considered before passing on.

The report also cites an interview Gadot did with the Israeli entertainment talk show Good Evening with Gai Pines in which it was reported that she will earn $300,000 per film.

The deal will allow Warner Bros a bit of breathing room when it comes to figuring out what to do with the character. If the reaction is strong enough, it will almost certainly lead to a standalone movie starring Gadot. With the actor still under contract, the turnaround could be relatively quick. If audiences don’t react well to the character, Wonder Woman could still appear in at least three DC films in a supporting role.

Mecha Break is the closest I’ve felt to piloting a real Gundam outside Japan
Key art for Mecha Break.

In 2015, in a mostly-empty arcade in Fukuoka, I slid into the pilot seat of a Gundam.

I pulled the door down, watching as it seamlessly merged with the rest of the wall and turned into a display of my surroundings. As I pulled the earpiece down, the radio crackled to life as other pilots greeted me through comms.

Is NBA 2K26 cross-platform?
A basketball character with a sweatband.

Football fans have the Madden games, baseball fans have MLB The Show, and basketball fans wait every year for the new NBA 2K entry. This year, we have NBA 2K26 with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Angel Reese, and Carmelo Anthony each appearing as the cover athlete on the various editions of the game. All the classic modes are back, including MyCAREER, MyTeam, MyNBA, The W, and more, but the big question is if you can play online with friends on other platforms like you can with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, or is it limited like Madden NFL 26? Before you rush the hoop and grab NBA 2K26, I'm calling a timeout to fill you in on all the cross-platform details.
