Max Landis wrote the script for this MGM project.


Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot has found her next project: MGM's supernatural thriller titled Deeper.

Gadot is in early talks to join Bradley Cooper in the film, which was a hot Max Landis spec package when the studio picked it up in 2016, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Kornel Mundruczo, the Hungarian director behind White God, is directing the project, which centers on a disgraced astronaut who is on a deep-sea dive exploring a newly discovered trench but soon finds himself confronted by a sinister and dangerous force. It was described as having a tone similar to recent hits Gravity and The Martian.

It is not known which character Gadot will play.

David Goyer, Kevin Turen, Russell Ackerman, John Schoenfelder and Landis are producing, as is Cooper.

Gadot became an international star thanks to her Wonder Woman role, with the movie becoming not only a phenomenon but one of the year’s biggest hits, grossing over $818 million worldwide.

The actress will be back for the superhero film's sequel, which will be once again directed by Patty Jenkins, but the goal is for her to shoot Deeper before segueing to the Warners DC movie.
