Gal Gadot’s previous Netflix outing was the critically-derided heist picture Red Notice, though it was a hit on the streaming service (according to their mysterious metrics). Her latest, of which she is also a producer, is an espionage thriller directed by Tom Harper (Wild Rose, The Aeronauts) and written by Greg Rucka (The Old Guard) and Allison Schroeder (Hidden Figures). Gadot plays Rachel Stone, a member of the Charter, an elite MI6 spy team who rely on an asset called the Heart. When Alia Bhatt’s Keya Dhawan steals the Heart, Stone and her team, including Jamie Dornan, Matthias Schweighöfer, Jing Lusi, Paul Ready, and Sophie Okonedo, must find a way to stop her.
