Gal Gadot took to her Instagram to show her 41.5 million followers the behind-the-scenes COVID-19 safety protocols for her latest movie, Red Notice. The actress, known for her role as Wonder Woman, posted a picture of herself undergoing a nasal swab test as part of the necessary precautions before resuming filming. Red Notice, a Netflix action comedy, features Gadot alongside Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Ryan Reynolds.
Prioritizing safety: Actress Gal Gadot, 35, shared a glimpse of the COVID-19 precautions being taken on the set of her new film Red Notice through an Instagram post. In the photo, she can be seen undergoing a nasal swab test while sporting a white graphic T-shirt from Sol Angeles that humorously reads, ‘Après Corona.’ The caption below the shirt expressed eagerness for the pandemic to come to an end. The sale of this shirt will contribute to fundraising for the World Health Organization, as the brand will donate a portion of its profits to support relief efforts. Gal completed her casual look with a pair of gray shorts, her hair pulled back into a bun, and a makeup-free face. She captioned the post with a mention of adjusting to the new normal of precautions on set while expressing the importance of staying safe.

Dwayne Johnson, in an Instagram post from January, revealed some details about the characters in the film. He described his character as ‘the world’s greatest tracker’ working for INTERPOL, while Gal’s character is ‘the world’s greatest art thief’ and Ryan’s character is ‘the world’s greatest conman.’ The plot revolves around the issuance of a RED NOTICE by Interpol to capture the world’s most wanted criminals, setting the stage for an international crime drama.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, production on the film was initially put on hold in March but has since resumed with strict safety protocols in place. Originally set to be distributed by Universal Pictures, the film’s high budget led the studio to back out. As a result, Netflix stepped in to take over distribution, ensuring that fans will still get to see the star-studded film on screen.

In the upcoming Wonder Woman sequel, Gal will once again portray the iconic character, alongside Chris Pine who plays Steve Trevor. Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig are joining the cast as the villains, Maxwell Lord and Cheetah.
