Overview
- Modern Luxury published Gadot's cover interview this week in which she said becoming a mother gave her a deeper emotional well and called that instinct a 'lioness' when describing her approach to Maia.
- Gadot emphasizes that Maia is fallible, saying the character gets scared, doubts herself, and keeps moving forward to show that courage is acting despite fear.
- She trained for what she calls the most physical film she's done with former Olympian Malachi Davis and suffered a broken foot weeks before filming wrapped.
- The Runner is directed by Kevin Macdonald, co-stars Damian Lewis, and is scheduled to debut on Prime Video on Sept. 2.
- Promotional materials and the Tel Aviv cover shoot at The Jaffa Hotel present the film as a character-driven, physical thriller that reframes Gadot away from an invincible action hero toward a more vulnerable lead.
