Gal Gadot confirms Brett Ratner won’t be involved with 'Wonder Woman 2'

LOS ANGELES: Actor Gal Gadot confirmed the reports that embattled Hollywood producer Brett Ratner will not be a part of " Wonder Woman" sequel.

Ratner's production company RatPac-Dune Entertainment backed "Wonder Woman" as a part of its co-financing deal with Warner Bros studios.

Talking to US Today, Gadot, without naming Ratner, said, "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. But there was nothing for me to actually come and say because (the decision) was already done before this article came out."

A PageSix report had earlier claimed, the 32-year-old star, who plays the title role in Patty Jenkins-directed film, does not want the successful franchise to benefit a man accused of sexual misconduct.

Recently, Gadot also opted out of attending an award function honouring Ratner.

Earlier this month, six women claimed the producer sexually harassed them, including actors Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge.

Actor Ellen Page also accused the producer of homophobic behaviour and that he outed her on the sets of 2006 movie "X- Men: The Last Stand".
