“Wonder Woman 1984,” the sequel to the 2017 superhero movie that catapulted Gadot to international fame, is due in theaters next summer.

Keshet did not disclose whether Gadot would have a starring role in the adaptation of “All the Rivers,” saying only that casting announcements would be made at a later date.
