Gal Gadot is super famous now. Starring as a DC superhero will do that to an actress. But before she took on the role of a lifetime, Gadot played a few small roles in movies that went unnoticed. Sometimes, she was overshadowed by more famous actors, and sometimes she didn't even speak English.
Since Gal Gadot played Wonder Woman in 2017, it became unlikely that the Israeli actress wouldn't be remembered for a role. So let's look back into her career and find out movies that you didn't know she was in.
Honorable Mention: Entourage (2009)
Although Entourage did have a movie come out in 2015, Gadot was actually in the HBO TV series. Because most people don't know about Gadot's cameo in Vicent Chase's Hollywood-set sitcom. In the show's sixth season, episode 2, "Amongst Friends," Gadot played the role of Lisa, Vicent's date for Gatsby's premiere.
Fast & Furious (2009)
Date Night (2010)
Date Night is a 2010 romantic crime-comedy starring Tina Fey and Steve Carell. The movie follows the Fosters, a couple leading a dull life until a misunderstanding puts them in the center of a pursuit.
Gal Gadot plays a tiny part in the movie, as Natanya, the Israeli bedfellow of Mark Wahlberg's character Holbrooke. She was only in one funny scene, in which she asks Holbrooke, in broken English, if Phil and Clair Foster will be having sex with them, only to be relieved when Wahlberg says no, calling the two old and saggy, in Hebrew.
Knight And Day (2010)
And in the same year, 2010, she starred in a second action comedy movie, sharing the screen with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. In the movie, Diaz needs to figure out if Tom Cruise is a good guy or a bad guy, and in one scene, she follows Cruise on a date. His date is with Naomi, played by Gal Gadot. It's another movie Gadot gets to show off her Hebrew.
Triple 9 (2016)
In 2016, Gal Gadot starred in another action thriller that involves criminals, corruption, and a heist. Triple 9 wasn't exactly a success; it's actually considered a box-office flop, making enough to cover the production costs barely. The cast had some big names, like Kate Winslet and Woody Harrelson, and well-known actors, like Casey Affleck and Aaron Paul. Gal Gadot played the role of Elena Vlasov, who is the sister of Kate Winslet's character, Irina.
Criminal (2016)
Criminal is a 2016 action sci-fi thriller about a death-row inmate who needs to complete a dead CIA operative's mission after the operative's memories are implanted into his head. The movie has a big male cast; Kevin Costner, Gary Oldman, Ryan Reynolds, Tommy Lee Jones, and others share credit and the screen. And so does Gal Gadot. She plays the role of Jill Pope, the dead CIA's widow.
Ralph Breaks The Internet (2018)
Fans might have missed Gal Gadot in Disney's Ralph Breaks The Internet even though she plays an important character as it was her first major movie voice performance.
Gadot gives life to Shank, a non-playable character in the "Slaughter Race" game, who becomes a role model to Vanellope. Shank clearly bears some thematic resemblance to her Fast & Furious character
Death on the Nile (2021)
