Gal Gadot is reportedly set to return to the Fast & Furious franchise as Gisele in Fast X.
Sources claim that the Wonder Woman star is allegedly coming back to the epic gang of street racers in the tenth installment of the franchise. Following the current shakeup at DC Studios, wherein actors are being replaced left and right, Gal Gadot’s future too remains in the dark. But it looks like another door of opportunity is ready and waiting for her, as the actress might just end up reprising her role in Fast X.
Although these rumors are yet to be confirmed, it would certainly be exciting to see Gisele back with the Fast & Furious family after almost a decade. After all, the action/adventure film series earned her immense recognition way before she got famous as DC’s Wonder Woman.
Gal Gadot is Allegedly Coming Back for Fast X
According to reports, Gal Gadot will be making her comeback as Gisele Yashar in Fast X, alongside the rest of the Fast & Furious family.
The franchise’s first film that Gadot appeared in as the antagonist turned anti-heroine was Fast & Furious 4 which was released back in 2009. After that, the Israeli actress was seen in Fast Five (2011) and Fast & Furious 6 (2013), the latter being the part where Gadot’s character met her tragic end.
Given how Gisele died in the 2013 film, it’s unclear how exactly would her character return to the franchise and under what guise, that is if Gadot really is coming back for Fast X. While no distinct information with regard to Gadot’s reprisal has been disclosed yet, it could very well be a possibility, especially since her DCU career seems to be in murky waters right now.
Meanwhile, Gadot’s fellow DCU star Jason Momoa is all set to mark his Fast & Furious debut as a villain in the upcoming movie.
How Will Gisele Get Revived in Fast X?
It is still unclear whether or not the Red Notice actress’ return to the Fast & Furious squad is a definitive thing. But even if she were to come back, how would that take place? Isn’t Gisele dead? Well, technically, yes. But so was Han, and yet he came back to the franchise in 2021.
When Gisele first joined Dominic Toretto’s crew, she started to develop romantic feelings for one of Dom’s team members, Han Lue. And as her affection was returned by the latter, the two soon fell head over heels for each other, only for fate to tear them apart.
In Fast & Furious 6, the audience witnessed Gisele’s death as she tried to save Han’s life. And as we all know, Sung Kang’s character too was shown to die in a car crash in the post-credit scenes of the same film. But in a shocking plot twist, Han recently appeared in Fast 9 (2021), revealing how this entire time he’d merely played pretend by faking his death.
So, given the franchise’s penchant for surprises, it would definitely be a rather brilliant decision to bring Gisele back in Fast X in some bewildering chain of events.
Fast X is scheduled to premiere on May 19, 2023.
