Wonder Woman Uses Power For Good, Reportedly Wants Producer Out [VIDEO]

THIS is how you get it done, Hollywood.

Actress Gal Gadot, star of the blockbuster movie “Wonder Woman” (and who will also be an integral part of the “Justice League” movie which will be released this coming Friday), is reportedly leveraging her star power against producer/director Brett Ratner, who has been accused of sexual assault, and the outright bullying and abuse of Ellen Page.

Gadot wants Ratner and his production studio, RatPac-Dune Entertainment (which has a production deal with Warner Bros., and is therefore helping produce the DC Extended Universe movie franchise), off the future production of any more “Wonder Woman” movies. Page Six is reporting that Gadot is refusing to sign for a sequel until Ratner is gone.

A Hollywood source tells Page Six that Gadot — who last month backed out of a dinner honoring Ratner, where she was due to present him with an award — is taking a strong stance on sexual harassment in Hollywood and doesn’t want her hit “Wonder Woman” franchise to benefit a man accused of sexual misconduct.

Ratner’s production company RatPac-Dune Entertainment helped produce “Wonder Woman” as part of its co-financing deal with Warner Bros. The movie has grossed more than $400 million internationally, and Ratner’s company will take a healthy share of the profits. A Warner Bros. insider explained, “Brett made a lot of money from the success of ‘Wonder Woman,’ thanks to his company having helped finance the first movie. Now Gadot is saying she won’t sign for the sequel unless Warner Bros. buys Brett out [of his financing deal] and gets rid of him.”

The source added of Israeli-born Gadot, “She’s tough and stands by her principles. She also knows the best way to hit people like Brett Ratner is in the wallet. She also 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.”

There is a reason this movie was a runaway hit, and it wasn’t because of Brett Ratner.

Warner Brothers has severed ties with Ratner, and is denying that Gadot is asking for Ratner to be bought out and sent packing. Gadot’s representatives have not commented on the report. But isn’t this EXACTLY what we want high-profile actors and actresses with clout and box-office to be doing? Don’t we want the good people to stand up to the bad ones, and make sure they lose name, reputation, power and money?

You go, Wonder Woman.
