Ever since she made her debut as Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016, Gal Gadot has been a mainstay of the DC Extended Universe. Since then, the actress has made multiple appearances in movies produced by DC, including two Wonder Woman solo movies and the renowned Justice League movies.
Gadot has subsequently moved to Disney, where she will play the Evil Queen Grimhilde in the live-action adaptation of the beloved animated fairy tale Snow White, in addition to playing a significant role in the larger DCEU. According to the Fast Five actor, this part is "different than anything that [she has] ever [done] before."
Gadot has recently discussed her new role and hinted at a potential future with Marvel.

Gadot first described her response as"amazing" and "delightful" when portraying the Evil Queen in Disney's live-action Snow White adaptation:
"Well, where do I begin? First of all, I feel grateful for the opportunity that I got to play this iconic villain character. It was amazing. It was delicious and delightful and I enjoyed every single moment of it."
After presenting a plot where "Wonder Woman appears in the Avengers and the Avengers appears in Wonder Woman," the DC actress said she's "open" to acting in a Marvel film.
"Maybe we can do something like, you know, Wonder Woman appears in the Avengers and the Avengers appears in Wonder Woman. We'll see, I mean I'm open. I'm all about love and I like my friends both in DC and Marvel. So we'll see."
Gal Gadot: Will She Play Another Marvel Hero?
It's thrilling to see Gal Gadot's positive reaction to the idea of a Marvel and DC crossover. This is also consistent with Dwayne Johnson's prior enthusiasm in a crossover with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who previously expressed optimism about the possibility of such a scenario materialising.
While it's unlikely that this "dream crossover" will materialise anytime soon, the fact that prominent DCEU actors are on board with the concept is encouraging and could pave the way for a new project to be announced.
Aside from the crossover, Gadot is a strong contender to join the MCU for a future comic book movie role thanks to her ability and acting prowess. It's unclear how long the actress will continue to portray Wonder Woman in the DCEU, but if she decides to hang up her boots, Marvel may be willing to welcome her back.

Whatever the situation, it's certain that Gadot will have a successful future within the Marvel universe.
