Watch Gal Gadot outsmart Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds in 'Red Notice' trailer

By Megan Armstrong | Last updated 10/21/21

We wouldn't blame you for taking a long look at Ryan Reynolds in Netflix's Red Notice trailer, released Thursday, as he is "taking a little sabbatical from movie making."

But the real star of the three-minute edit is Gal Gadot:

Directed and written by Rawson Marshall Thurber, Red Notice stars Dwayne Johnson as FBI profiler John Hartley after "an Interpol-issued Red Notice, ... a global alert to hunt and capture the world’s most wanted" tasks him with finding and stopping the world's most prolific art thieves, Nolan Booth (Reynolds) and Sarah Black (Gadot).

Nolan is the second-most wanted behind Sarah, his rival. John approaches Nolan to help him catch Sarah, and if Nolan agrees, John will help him "become the No. 1 thief in the world again." The problem is that confining Sarah is far from a foregone conclusion. She deftly makes a fool of them, time and time again. Who will come out on top?

The crime comedy hits Netflix on Nov. 12.
