Heart of Stone wasreleased on the platform on August 01, 2025, and for the first week, the film held the top spot on the English-language list with 33.1 million views. Unfortunately, the film failed to woo the audience and the critics. It holds a low Rotten Tomatoes score of 29% and the audience score isn’t much better either; 54%.
According to the critical consensus, the film has“thinly written characters, generic plot, and rote set pieces,”which even an“entertaining action star”ofGal Gadot’s caliber couldn’t save.
Turning the attention to Gadot’s salary forHeart of Stone,the actress took home a massive cheque of $5 million, according to some reports. The amount is much higher than what her co-stars,Jamie DornanandAlia Bhattmade; $1.5 million and $500,000 respectively.
Talking about why she was so excited to be a part ofHeart of Stone,which she is also a producer of, Gadot toldEntertainment Weekly,
“I really wanted to tell a story of a real person that goes through a crazy journey and is told from a female perspective. That was something that excited me, that I wanted to show, that I felt like I hadn’t seen enough.”
While the film unfortunately failed to impress the critics, it can still be considered a one-time, entertaining watch.

Gal Gadot Made 4X More inRed Notice
While Gadot’s salary inHeart of Stonewas significantly more than what her co-stars made, it was also a lot less than what she took home for yet another Netflix film,Red Notice.This is despite the fact that she shared the lead role with bothRyan ReynoldsandDwayne Johnson.
Gadot, Reynolds, and Johnson, all made a whopping amount of $20 million for their roles as The Bishop, Nolan Booth, and John Hartley, respectively. This means that theWonder Womanactress made four times as much as she made inHeart of Stone,her very own film. Given the fact thatRed Noticewas made on a budget of $200 million, the salaries seem to be quite fitting for stars of their stature.
Gadot’s $20 million salary is also higher than the $10 million salary that she took home forWonder Woman 1984.
