When it comes to protecting her work against artificial intelligence, actress Gal Gadot is ready to go all out! The Gal Gadot Endured A 6-Month Contract Negotiation To Avoid AI Interfering With Her Performance In Movie: ‘It’s All Me’ first appeared on The Blast

When it comes to protecting her work, Gal Gadot is ready to go all out!

The “Red Notice” actress has a new project on the way with Director Doug Liman. However, with generative technology becoming more common across the entertainment industry, she made sure every safeguard was in place. 

Meanwhile, other actors, like Matthew McConaughey, have since taken steps to protect their likenesses. 

Gal Gadot Reveals the Measures She Took to Protect Her Acting In Forthcoming Film

During a recent appearance on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, the “Fast & Furious” actress opened up about the efforts she made to ensure her portrayal in the upcoming film “Bitcoin” remained entirely her own.

She noted that contract negotiations went on for a long time before her lawyers and the production team came to an agreement about the limitations. 

“It was six months for my lawyers to go through every scenario we could think about as far as the AI component of it,” the “Snow White” actress shared. 

She added that she didn’t want the technology to interfere with her performance. By the end of the process, her attorneys had addressed every concern and were even offering recommendations to SAG-AFTRA.

“We had to protect that, to such an extent that SAG called my lawyers to ask for pointers to update the SAG contract to protect other actors,” Gadot revealed. “ As far as the performances, it’s all me.”

While discussing how she safeguards her work, the 41-year-old actress also reflected on her departure from the Marvel franchise.

As The Blast reported, Gadot was asked whether she ever accepted that her time as the superhero might be over after learning that a third film would no longer move forward.

She revealed that the studio’s leaders, James Gunn and Peter Safran, had initially reassured her that they planned to develop a third movie with her. 

However, as time passed, she observed how other actors and filmmakers connected to the previous DC leadership were being treated during the studio’s restructuring. 

Reflecting on Henry Cavill’s experience, Gadot noted that it was disappointing to see him publicly announce his return as Superman only for the role to later be recast. She also criticized the way director Patty Jenkins was treated.

How Matthew McConaughey Took The Legal Approach Against AI

Much like Gal Gadot calling in her lawyers to guard her work against digital interference, Matthew McConaughey has taken similar steps.

Earlier this year, The Blast reported that McConaughey trademarked elements of his image and voice to prevent unauthorized machine-generated imitations of his likeness or speech.

The filings covered his iconic “Alright, alright, alright” catchphrase along with select video clips. His legal team began pursuing protection for the phrase in late 2023, with approval officially granted in 2025.

Jodie Foster Said Brad Pitt’s ‘F1’ Feels AI-Made 

As actors take steps to safeguard their image, scrutiny has also grown over the increasing role of digital technology in filmmaking.

During a conversation in July with former Sony executive Michael Lynton about its impact on filmmaking, Jodie Foster pointed to Brad Pitt’s hit racing drama as an example.

Foster made it clear that her comments were not meant as a criticism of the movie, before noting that watching it “feels like something AI could have created,” per The Blast.

She continued, alleging that the structure is exactly what you’re taught in film school. Foster argued that the dialogue between characters was delivered as how a computer would. 

Marvel’s ‘Spider-Man’ Movie Faced AI Accusations

Another film that has sparked speculation over the use of computer technology is “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.” 

Following its August release, viewers closely examined several scenes, pointing to visual oddities they believed may have been digitally generated.

One moment that caught attention featured two taxis traveling in opposite directions, appearing to blur into one another unusually. 

Viewers also pointed to a fire escape on one of the buildings, with its stairs appearing warped and uneven compared with the familiar structures found throughout New York.

Fans wasted no time criticizing the irregularities. One fan slammed, per The Blast. “Using generative AI to concept design a real-life city like New York is wild lol. like… It’s NYC. Just look out a window or take a photo??”
