Gal Gadot has become a subject of ridicule online despite her previous popularity as Wonder Woman. In a significant development, she was named the 2026 Genesis Prize laureate in November 2025. This award is being transformed into a matching-gifts campaign expected to channel at least $2 million to Israeli NGOs, aimed at helping those affected by the trauma following the October 7, 2023, massacre.

Gadot dedicated her Genesis Prize award to organizations that would assist in healing Israel, stating that the country had endured “unimaginable pain” and must begin rebuilding “hearts, families, and communities.” The Genesis Prize Foundation has committed $1 million to the matching-gifts campaign, which will support NGOs helping Israelis cope with the aftermath of the tragic events.

In a related development, Zack Snyder shared a new image of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman wearing Batman’s gauntlets, reigniting discussions about her portrayal of the character. Gadot has played Wonder Woman across several DC films, including Wonder Woman, Justice League, and Wonder Woman 1984.

However, with DC Studios under the new direction of James Gunn and Peter Safran, it has been confirmed that Gadot will not return as Wonder Woman in the upcoming DC Universe. This has left fans and observers questioning the future of the character and Gadot’s role within the franchise.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding whether Gadot will reprise her role as Wonder Woman in any future projects, and the status of the scrapped Wonder Woman 3 project remains uncertain. Snyder reflected on the character’s journey, noting that the idea of her past experiences was an early concept they explored.

Andres Spokoiny, a representative from the Genesis Prize Foundation, emphasized the importance of the matching-gifts program, stating that it could “multiply impact” at a time when Israel’s caregivers were stretched beyond capacity. This initiative is seen as a crucial step in supporting the community during a challenging period.

As the situation evolves, the intersection of Gadot’s philanthropic efforts and her uncertain future in the DC Universe continues to draw attention from fans and media alike.
