Gal Gadot moves on from Snow White drama as she gets to work with Damien Lewis on new thriller The Runner

Gal Gadot moved on from the Snow White drama as she was seen filming with Damien Lewis for their new thriller The Runner on Friday.

Since its release last month, her Disney film has been hit by a string of controversies, including claims of a feud between stars Gal and Rachel Zegler, who play the Evil Queen and Snow White respectively. 

Taking her mind off the matter, Gal appeared in high spirits as she was spotted on set of her new film.

The actress, 39, donned a тιԍнт blue running jacket and black leggings that showed off her incredible frame. 

The look was teamed with bright red trainers, a running bag, and arm pouch.

Her character was seen on a run after dropping her child at school, where she bumped into Damien’s character.

Damien, 54, cut a suave figure on set as he sported a strong moustache and slicked back hair.

He opted for a black structured coat layered over brown trousers and a matching jumper.

The ensemble was finished with smart black shoes and a pair of black leather gloves. 

His character was seen looking suspicious as he walked down the street past the school. 

The Runner centres on a high-flying attorney (Gal) who has to race through London to try to save her abducted son.

It is being produced by David Kosse via his new London-based production company Rockwood Pictures.

The Runner marks the company’s first project in production.

Gal’s outing comes after the Snow White remake hit another snag as Lebanon has banned the film from its cinemas nationwide.

The Middle East nation made the move last week because of star Gal, who plays the Evil Queen in the box office bomb.

Gal an Israeli, is on Lebanon’s boycott list because of her past service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and her vocal support for Israel in its war against Hamas.

Lebanon has previously banned other Gal movies including Wonder Woman and Death On The Nile over the star’s nationality.

It is not the first time that the Israel-Hamas conflict has upended the $200 million flick, with Gal also said to have been embroiled in a ‘feud’ with co-star Rachel, an outspoken Palestine supporter.

The $270 million remake was panned by critics and flopped at the box office following its release last month, and is reportedly on track to lose upwards of $115 million.

Rachel has bore the brunt of the blame for the underperforming film, as the actress came under scrutiny for her remarks before its release, including sharing her views on the Middle East crisis.

She was also criticized for her woke takes on the 1937 classic, where she described Prince Charming as ‘literally a stalker.’

While Rachel’s remarks on the decades-old story came under fire – alongside Disney’s decision to create CGI gnomes instead of hiring actors with dwarfism – the conflict in the Middle East undercut the film’s release more than anything else.

Rachel and Gal are said to have gotten on well during filming – but their relationship froze over when Rachel began publicly sharing her pro-Palestinian views.

Producers opted to premiere the movie at a remote Spanish castle where only Rachel attended as its promotional tour was rocked by controversies.

Issues began when Disney released its trailer last summer, with fans sharing their doubts over Rachel’s casting, including a Latina being chosen to portray a character known for being ‘as white as snow.’

Others took issue with Gal’s casting amid Israel’s devastation of Gaza, with pro-Palestine viewers calling for a boycott of the film.
