Red Notice was a major success for Netflix, smashing the viewership record for a film on the platform at the time. The cast itself brought in the huge viewership numbers, with Gal Gadot, Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds starring.
Behind the scenes, we'll take a closer look at the dynamic between the three stars. Gadot in particular had a blast with Johnson, however, she was nervous to shoot a certain Red Notice scene with the actor, and it wasn't the pair's memorable kissing scene.
We'll reveal the scene in question, along with taking a look at the future of Red Notice 2, and if it's still going to take place in the near future.
During the filming of Red Notice, Dwayne Johnson underwent some tough times behind the camera as his father had passed away. Returning to the set, Dwayne Johnson had praise for both his co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot who were both there for him during a tough time.
Johnson reveals, "On the first day of filming, my dad died. The moment I walked in the door, Ryan gave me a big hug and said, 'I got you, man'.
He added about Gadot, "Gal is always taking care of the people around her and has the most positive presence." He added how Gal would always cheer him up. "Gal would get the giggles, then I would get the giggles, and then we would all go. I've never laughed as hard as I did on this film," he added.
The film turned out to be a major hit for Netflix, and as expected, the cast had great chemistry on-screen. However, Gal Gadot did admit to feeling nervous about filming a particular scene alongside The Rock.
Some fans might assume that Gadot was most nervous for her kissing scene alongside Johnson, but that wasn't the case. Instead, Gadot worried about her dancing scene alongside DJ, given the size of her fellow actor. Gadot revealed that Johnson reassured her during the scene, and he was spot on. Gadot couldn't believe how mobile the actor was with his dancing skills.
Gal recalls, "I'll tell you the truth. I was a bit nervous at the beginning just because, you know DJ is a giant man and I have feet down there, so I wasn't sure what was going to happen. And I kept telling DJ, we're going to practice, we're going to rehearse.
She continues, "And he was super cool, kept on calming me down and saying, don't worry, this is going to be great. And of course, that just made me more nervous. But then he showed up, and this guy is a freaking ballerina. I don't know how it works with like physics rules and all that, but he had, he's so talented and such a good dancer. And it was so much fun to shoot the scene with you."
Hardcore fans of The Rock are well aware that the actor is agile, especially given his days in the ring with WWE. It was on full display with Gadot, however, in a much different way outside the squared circle.
While promoting the film alongside Cosmopolitan, Gadot spoke about working with Johnson and Reynolds. She was already familiar with both stars, having worked with them in the past. Gadot would go on to reveal that she was eager to reunite with the actors, and they were in fact looking for the perfect project to work on together once again.
"I've got to say that I feel super grateful and lucky that I got to work with such amazing talents like Ryan and D.
"Ryan, D.J., and I had been working together in the past and we were looking for the best opportunity to [collaborate again]. [And thanks to] Red Notice, we got to do so many different fun and funny sequences in the movie. I can't wait for everyone to watch it and I hope that you all like it!"
Rumors were swirling around in regard to a Red Notice sequel. Although info is still limited, Gadot did confirm that chatter is taking place behind the scenes, and that it is very much in the works.
"We're all talking about it. I don't know if I can say anything! I already read the second script and it's… whoo! We're all very excited about it!"
