Director Joss Whedon reportedly threatened Gal Gadot’s career while conducting reshoots on 2017’s superhero team-up film, Justice League. The Wonder Woman actor took the matter to the top, and said that it was addressed there and then. Whedon has been accused of ‘abusive’ behaviour on the sets of the film, by actor Ray Fisher, who appeared as Cyborg. His co-star Jason Momoa, who played Aquaman in the film, seemingly corroborated Fisher’s claims in an Instagram post. A new story on The Hollywood Reporter cited sources as saying that the actor and the filmmaker clashed when Whedon ‘pushed Gadot to record lines she didn’t like, threatened to harm Gadot’s career and disparaged Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins’. She reportedly demanded a meeting with the studio’s then-chairman Kevin Tsujihara. “I had my issues with [Whedon] and Warner Bros handled it in a timely manner,” she said in a statement, reacting to the developments. Whedon was brought in as a replacement for original director Zack Snyder, after Snyder was forced to depart production because of a family tragedy. Whedon, known for directing Marvel’s The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron, was tasked with reshooting several portions of the film.
