Gal Gadot, aka Wonder Woman, aka the only person who could survive a war zone with flawless eyeliner, is diving headfirst into another high-stakes thriller. And this time, she’s trading her golden lasso for… emotional trauma and post-war vengeance. Yay, fun!
The 40-year-old goddess of action (and cheekbones sharp enough to cut steel) has just added another gritty film to her schedule because sleep is for mortals, not icons.
The movie’s called “Ruin”, and nope—it’s not about your last relationship or the state of your group chat. It’s a World War II revenge thriller, where Gal plays a newly freed camp prisoner who teams up with a German soldier (played by Matthias Schoenaerts, a man whose name you’ll Google five times before you spell it correctly).
According to The Hollywood Reporter, this dynamic duo is out for blood—specifically that of a rogue Nazi SS unit. Yes, this is a good old-fashioned “vengeance with a side of historical trauma” movie, the kind that pairs well with popcorn and a nervous breakdown.
Behind the camera is Niki Caro, who brought us the live-action Mulan (you know, the one with fewer songs but 500% more slow-motion sword swings) and directed J.Lo in The Mother—so expect emotional depth, action-packed tension, and probably a horse running in slow-mo.
And if you’re itching to see Gal go full badass again, sit tight—filming doesn’t even start until 2026, so you’ve got time to emotionally prepare and maybe rewatch Wonder Woman for the 14th time.
Now the real question is: will there be dramatic monologues? Explosions? One single tear sliding down Gal’s perfect cheekbone? Probably yes to all.
