There’s no denying that audiences love a good spy story, andGal Gadothas a new addition to the genre on the way with the upcoming release ofHeart of Stonefrom Netflix. In an exclusive viaEmpire Magazine, a brand-new image from the film has been released, showcasing the action star in the midst of a fiery explosion.
“The scene was even crazier, at a higher altitude,” Gadot said about the image to Empire, “and we got into the science of it and dialed it down so that a human could do it. That was something I wanted to really ensure we nailed. That could be done by people.” If there’s one thing that makes or breaks aspy film, it’s the action set pieces, andHeart of Stoneis shaping up to honor the genre with a unique spin.
Additional details remain under wraps for now, but the image does tease an action-packed spy film that echoes the likes of007and theMission: Impossiblefranchise, which would serve as a fun and thrilling experience this summer. “I realized that there was an audience for a female action protagonist,” Gadot said. “I grew up watching Bond, and Mission, and Bourne. I wanted to create a really strong, female-driven action movie that is for everybody, not a male story that’s been done many times already.”
