Gal Gadot Defies Anti-Israel Protesters: Film Production Resumes in London
GAL GADOT TAKES DOWN PROTESTERS WITH HER STEELY DETERMINATION
In a stunning turn of events, Israeli superwoman Gal Gadot has resumed work on her latest film, The Runner, after weeks of anti-Israel protests threatened to derail production.
Exclusive photographs obtained by thescholarlynote.com reveal that the Wonder Woman star was back in action on the London set of this gripping political thriller, despite a wave of protests that left those working on the movie "exasperated" and pushed back the production schedule.
The 40-year-old actress was seen filming a dramatic scene in which she is thrown out of the back of a moving ambulance while badly injured. The harrowing sequence showcases her remarkable acting chops, and it's clear why she's one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood.
But what's even more impressive is Gadot's steely determination to see this project through, despite being "left scarred" by the persistent protests from pro-Palestinian activists. It seems that these activists have taken issue with her past support for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and her mandatory service in the military.
The protesters' claims are nothing short of absurd, but they're not just targeting Gadot - they're also taking aim at Disney, which assigned bodyguards to the actress earlier this year during the promotional campaign for Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs. It's clear that these activists are trying to intimidate and silence her, but Gadot is refusing to back down.
The production team has taken extra precautions to ensure her safety on set, with a noticeable police presence surrounding the filming location in east London. Uniformed officers and a police van were parked nearby, a stark reminder of the increasingly hostile climate for Jewish people in the UK.
The protests have been relentless, with activists sharing filming locations on social media and causing chaos at several sites across the city. In June, several protesters were arrested for attempting to disrupt production, but it seems that they're still trying to cause trouble.
"We've had enough of these activists disrupting our work," said an insider from the film's production team. "We're just trying to make a movie here, and we don't appreciate being targeted by these extremist groups."
The Campaign Against Antisemitism has also weighed in on the issue, warning that these protests reflect a broader climate of hostility towards Jewish people in the UK.
Gadot's next project is Ruin, a thriller set in post-war Germany, which sees her starring as a recently released concentration camp prisoner who forms an unlikely alliance with a German soldier. It's clear that she's not intimidated by the backlash and is instead choosing to use her platform to speak out against antisemitism.
The Runner will be released in 2026, but it's already clear that this film is going to be one of the most talked-about movies of the year.
In a statement, a Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: "We understand that protesters have repeatedly disrupted filming at locations across London, which has led to five arrests for various offences including harassment. While we absolutely acknowledge the right to peaceful protests, we have a duty to intervene when this crosses the line into serious disruption or criminality."
It's clear that Gal Gadot is not just an actress - she's also a force to be reckoned with. And judging by these photographs, it seems that she's more determined than ever to see her projects through, no matter what obstacles come her way.
