- By Helena Horton

GAL GADOT has confirmed Brett Ratner has been dropped from the sequel to Wonder Woman, after she reportedly threatened not to take part.

The producer has faced multiple allegation­s of sexual harassment, so the star of the franchise said she would not be in the next Wonder Woman film if he was still a part of it.

On NBC’S Today show, she confirmed he had been dropped. Asked about the initial claims, Gadot replied: “The truth is, there’s so many people involved in making this movie, it’s not just me, and they all echoed the same sentiments. Everyone knew what was the right thing to do.” A source told Page Six, the celebrity news website: “She knows that Warner Bros has to side with her on this issue as it develops. They can’t have a movie rooted in women’s empowermen­t being part-financed by a man accused of sexual misconduct against women.” Ratner has denied all of the allegation­s.
