Gal Gadot has wrangled a smorgasbord of celebrities in a video intended as a call for unity during the coronavirus pandemic. Hollywood has been in a state of shutdown with seemingly every movie and show in development put on indefinite hold and with theaters closing around the country major releases like Black Widow are being pushed back as well. This has left many celebrities, like the rest of the world, in a state of self-isolation.
Quite a few of those celebrities have come together to cover John Lennon's "Imagine" line by line. The effort is led by Gadot, who posted it on her Instagram, and features Jamie Dornan, Labrinth, Kristen Wiig, James Marsden, Sarah Silverman, Eddie Benjamin, Jimmy Fallon, Natalie Portman, Zoe Kravitz, Sia, Lynda Carter, Amy Adams, Leslie Odom Jr., Pedro Pascal, Chris O'Dowd, Dawn O'Porter, Will Ferrell, Mark Ruffalo, Norah Jones, Ashley Benson, and Kaia Gerber. You can see the video for yourself below:
Though some have appreciated the video for what it is, the response to Gadot's video has seemingly been largely negative, with many taking to Twitter to express their annoyance at the effort. Given everything going on right now, the video is being seen as primarily an effort for the attention-starved celebrities to maintain the spotlight instead of doing something tangible to help. Check out a few selected responses from Inhumas actor Anson Mount, Hinge's Gina DiVittorio, and The Onion's Dan Sheehan:
