Gal Gadot has quickly become one of Hollywood’s biggest stars thanks to her breakout role as Wonder Woman. With her stunning beauty, acting talent, and on-screen charisma, she has proven herself as a leading lady who can anchor major blockbuster franchises.
As Wonder Woman gears up for more solo adventures and appearances in ensemble superhero films, fans are curious about which actors Gal enjoys working with the most. Based on her past collaborations and comments in interviews, it seems Gadot has awesome chemistry with several of today’s hottest stars. Let’s take a look at who might be her top co-star picks for future projects!
Chris Pine
Gal struck gold with her first ever co-star pairing alongside Chris Pine in 2017’s Wonder Woman. Their characters, Diana Prince and Steve Trevor, lit up the screen with their romantic chemistry and easy rapport. In multiple interviews, Gadot has praised what a wonderful partner Pine was, especially as she navigated her first big Hollywood production.
Their natural compatibility is likely why the Wonder Woman sequel, Wonder Woman 1984, featured Pine’s return despite the film being set decades after his character’s death. Says Gadot, “Chris was an integral part of the success of the first movie. I love working with him. He’s a great partner and an amazing actor.” She also revealed they shared plenty of laughs behind the scenes playing games like charades to pass the time.
Clearly, this is one co-starship Gadot would love to jump back into should the franchise call for it. As she told Elle Magazine, “If it were up to me, I would do everything with Chris.” Here’s hoping we get treated to their magical pairing at least one more time!
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
Gadot found another winning match when she teamed up with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for the action comedy caper, Red Notice. As rival criminal art thieves forced to partner up, their characters clash and flirt while trotting across the globe. It’s a fun, vibrant dynamic fans loved watching unfold.
n multiple interviews, Gal has called The Rock a “teddy bear” who instantly made her feel at home. She said, “From the first moment we started to work together it was just easygoing. He’s so lovely, so kind, such a hard worker.” High praise coming from a hard worker herself! Johnson likewise touted, “I loved working with Gal. She’s a powerhouse, but also has tremendous warmth, depth and range.”
With Red Notice racking up huge viewing numbers for Netflix, it seems likely we could see these two reunite for a sequel. Count Gadot in for round two! When asked if she’d return to the role, she enthusiastically responded, “My answer is an absolute yes! I would love that. It was so much fun working on this movie.”
Kristen Wiig
While newer to the superhero scene, Kristen Wiig left quite the impression on Gadot when she played the villainous Cheetah in Wonder Woman 1984. Gadot spoke excitedly about the prospect of facing off against the Saturday Night Live alum, calling Wiig “a genius comedian” with the rare ability to be “dramatic and funny and crazy.” That stellar combination allowed Wiig to create a more dimensional, grounded antagonist fans could connect with.
For her part, Wiig relished the opportunity to work closely with Gadot. She called the experience “wonderful” and remarked how impressed she was by Gadot’s talent, determination, and kindness to everyone on set. Together, they set out to craft a special female dynamic amidst all the superpowered action. Gadot praised Wiig for being “so committed to making this relationship real.”
Though Patty Jenkins, the director, has expressed interest in bringing Wiig back again, there are no concrete plans yet for Cheetah to battle Wonder Woman a third time. But Gadot seems game if the stars align down the line, saying she thinks there’s “room for more” of their fiery chemistry.
Armie Hammer
Prior to their almost pairing in a scrapped Justice League movie, Armie Hammer starred opposite Gadot as her charming yet mysterious husband in the 2017 thriller, Death on the Nile. Adapted from the classic Agatha Christie novel, this murder mystery brought together an all-star ensemble cast. Yet Gadot and Hammer’s portrayal of a troubled 1930’s married couple trying to rekindle their romance formed the emotional core.
Gadot spoke excitedly about acting alongside Hammer, commending his dedication and talent. The two leads worked hard to build genuine trust and intimacy, which radiates in their provocative dance scenes and heated arguments. Their compelling dynamic keeps you guessing – is this a couple unraveling or finding their way back together?
When asked if she’d like to collaborate with Hammer again, Gadot said she “really enjoyed their time together” and “would love that.” Death on the Nile scored at the box office too, so only time will tell if they get paired up to sleuth out more murders in potential sequels. Wherever they go next though, Gadot and Hammer have proven they can generate impressive fireworks.
Ryan Reynolds
A dream co-star for many, Ryan Reynolds has long been on Gadot’s wishlist of actors she’d love to partner up with. It seems the feeling is mutual too! Back in 2020, Reynolds did an interview naming Gadot as someone he was eager to work with someday. Well, Reynolds’ wish came true when their joint thriller project, Red Notice, scored a lead actress.
Though they don’t share too many scenes directly interacting together, Gadot had a blast watching Reynolds do his thing on set. She raved about his improv skills and ability to keep the cast and crew in stitches. Reynolds likewise praised Gadot’s dedication and work ethic, which pushed him to raise his own game. It’s clear these two icons admire each other’s talents immensely.
Since Red Notice left the door open for sequels, Reynolds and Gadot may get more chances in the future to battle wits and flex their comedy muscles. Reynolds joked he’d love to explore what a “relaxing tropical vacation” for their criminal characters would look like. And based on Gadot’s glowing admiration for her co-star, she’d undoubtedly be thrilled to reunite on their dream island getaway!
Jamie Dornan
Romantic drama fans, get excited! One of Gadot’s latest co-star pairings is with none other than Fifty Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan. The two are filming a new mystery thriller called Heart of Stone, where Gadot plays a spy who has to keep her emotions under control. Little else is known yet about the plot, but with these two gorgeous yet formidable leads, intrigue and passion seem guaranteed
When photos emerged of Gadot and Dornan filming scenes overseas, the internet exploded with anticipation. Fans commented how stunning and stylish they looked together, with an electrifying energy that leaped off the screen. Though the production is still underway, insider reports indicate Gadot is having an amazing time bonding with her new on-screen love interest.
In fact, Gadot had such wonderful things to say about Dornan that she lobbied to get him cast. In a recent interview, she revealed, “I knew Jamie was perfect for this character. He’s so talented, so committed, and so captivating.” Get ready because when this pair hits the big screen next, their chemistry is sure to have a seismic impact!

Without question, Gadot has already compiled an impressive roster of A-list co-stars she blends beautifully with. As her star power grows ever brighter though, fans are dreaming up more exciting actor pairings for her to pursue. Possibilities span iconic veterans to today’s trendiest up-and-comers.

Of Hollywood’s swoon-worthy leading men, who better to match her confidence and passion than Ryan Gosling, Michael B. Jordan or Oscar Isaac?
