-In her Elle cover story, Gal Gadot says she immediately reported Joss Whedon when they clashed on the Justice League set. “Oh, I was shaking trees as soon as it happened. And I must say that the heads of Warner Brothers, they took care of it…You’re dizzy because you can’t believe this was just said to you. And if he says it to me, then obviously he says it to many other people. I just did what I felt like I had to do. And it was to tell people that it’s not okay…But my sense of justice is very strong. I was shocked by the way that he spoke to me.”

Simmons, Nina Arianda, Tony Hale and Alia Shawkat.

Kristen Stewart Learns To Embrace the Buzz

–Kristen Stewart covers EW’s fall movie issue and talks about the growing Oscar buzz surrounding her (“You want to win, we’re all animals. Artists want to engage with the world and have larger conversations. Even though it doesn’t seem like I’m somebody who wants to be extremely famous, I still want this conversation to be expansive”) and being more choosy (“I used to be really intentionally the opposite of precious in terms of choosing projects. For a minute there I was like, ‘I’ll do f**king anything!’ And honestly, it was a good place to be for a minute. But I think now I’m going to be a little more careful. I think I have a better nose for what’s going to be fruitful for me personally, as an experience, if not necessarily what’s going to thrive out in the world”).

And what you have to know is how much Lucy stood up for herself and that was the great thing that came out of an unfortunate circumstance. She literally said, ‘I do not accept that kind of behavior from you.’ And we all supported her and backed her up and we moved forward.”
