“Wonder Woman 1984” was not the super-powered box office success to match 2017’s “Wonder Woman” ($167M vs. $823M worldwide), but the sequel was a pandemic release largely seen on streaming — now emblematic of the changing tides of the movie biz, with HBO Max leading the controversial charge — and electric star Gadot has a stack of upcoming premieres and projects.

She’s also re-teaming with director Patty Jenkins for “Wonder Woman 3” and “Cleopatra” at Paramount.
