  • Gal Gadot told Variety that she was interviewed by WarnerMedia as part of its investigation into abusive behavior by "Justice League" director Joss Whedon alleged by her costar on the movie, Ray Fisher.
  • The investigation has since been concluded with the company saying "remedial action" will be taken.
  • "I don't know what [remedial action] means either," Gadot told the trade. "I'm curious to know what's going to be the outcome."
  • However, she did tell the Los Angeles Times that she had an issue with Whedon separate from the Fisher complaint.
  • "I wasn't there with the guys when they shot with Joss Whedon — I had my own experience with [him], which wasn't the best one, but I took care of it there and when it happened I took it to the higher-ups and they took care of it," she said.

As Gal Gadot prepares to set off on her next superhero adventure with "Wonder Woman 1984" hitting theaters and HBO Max on Christmas Day, she's still having to address what went on during the doomed making of 2017's "Justice League."

The superhero movie that was pegged to be the biggest DC Comics movie for Warner Bros., as it brought together the titans of the IP - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg -has since been the focus of an investigation by the studio since Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg, alleged abusive behavior by director Joss Whedon, who took over for Zack Snyder at the end of production.

Gadot told Variety that she was interviewed as part of the investigation by WarnerMedia, which recently wrapped with no details given on what it concluded outside of "remedial action."

"I don't know what [remedial action] means either," Gadot said. "I'm curious to know what's going to be the outcome."

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Gadot revealed that she had an issue with Whedon herself, but unlike her costar Fisher, her issue was taken care of quickly, she said.

"I'm happy for Ray to go out and speak his truth," Gadot told the paper. "I wasn't there with the guys when they shot with Joss Whedon - I had my own experience with [him], which wasn't the best one, but I took care of it there and when it happened I took it to the higher-ups and they took care of it."

In September, Jason Momoa, who played Aquaman in the movie, took to his Instagram to say the cast was treated "s---ty" during the reshoots of "Justice League."

"Serious stuff went down," Momoa wrote on Instagram. "It needs to be investigated and people need to be held accountable."

Following the announcement that WarnerMedia's investigation was closed, Fisher tweeted in response: "There are still conversations that need to be had and resolutions that need to be found."

"Justice League" was dragged through the mud by critics and fans when it was released and has motivated Snyder to come out with his own cut of the movie, which is coming to HBO Max next year, after feeling his vision was not executed after Whedon took over.
