Gal Gadot is the top choice to Dwayne Johnson in Wonder Woman 2. Johnson, meanwhile, has worked relentlessly for the past decade and cranked out one blockbuster hit after another (most recently, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Rampage), save for the rare disappointment (Baywatch).
Unless the Fast & Furious series resurrects Gadot's character Gisele soap opera-style after her demise in Fast & Furious 6, she and Johnson won't be reuniting on that franchise in the future. However, it seems the pair could forces yet again on another project altogether. The film in question would be Red Notice, an original venture that has Johnson attached to star and writer/director Rawson Marshall Thurber (We're the Millers) calling the shots.

The Rock will receive a hefty payday ($22 million, to be precise) to star in the film as an Interpol agent charged with tracking down the most wanted art thief in the world. Gadot is being eyed to play the movie's female lead - a 30-something woman - but details beyond that are unknown at this juncture.
Since Gadot is an A-lister in her own right now, it stands to reason her would-be role in Red Notice is something meaningful. She could be the top choice to play Johnson's partner in the film, similar to the role that Naomie Harris played in Rampage and the role Emily Blunt is playing in Johnson's Jungle Cruise movie. Alternatively, Universal may want Gadot to match wits with The Rock onscreen by playing the film's mysterious international crime-breaker and art aficionado.
