While the next James Bond movie is still in its infancy, Netflix is working to bring its very own spy franchise to life with its latest star-studded action film: Heart of Stone with Gal Gadot could be the first step and starts tomorrow, Friday August 11, 2023 at Netflix.
Action highlight on Netflix: Gal Gadot lets it rip with Matthias Schweighöfer
Her name isn’t James Bond, it’s Stone. Rachel Stone (Gal Gadot). And she works as an agent for a Organization called “Charter” that watches over world peace, without being bound by national borders. To do this, Agent Stone has to do without personal relationships, but her colleagues, such as computer expert Jack (Matthias Schweighöfer), have long since become a surrogate family for the tricky job.
But one mysterious weapon, “the heart”, with which international markets as well as machines can be controlled, becomes a global threat. Now Rachel has to stop hacker Keya (Alia Bhatt) in her latest mission to prevent an escalation. She had only just privately approached the unsuspecting Parker (Jamie Dornan).

Gal Gadot in Heart of Stone
Whether luminous paragliders on snow-covered mountain slopes or exploding zeppelins in the sky: Netflix’s agent film Heart of Stone already promises one in the trailer varied action palette by director Tom Harper (Peaky Blinders, The Aeronauts). Of course, we can only estimate after the start whether the film based on the James Bond model will become a success or whether it will become Netflix’s next million-dollar grab after The Gray Man.
Like James Bond and Mission Impossible: Gal Gadot, Heart of Stone is set to lead to franchise success
As the main character, the Netflix streaming service naturally knows what Gal Gadot has to offer. Whether as Wonder Woman in the DC Universe or as Gisele in the Fast & Furious series: she has plenty of action experience to show for it. The star previously directed the Netflix action film Red Notice alongside Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds, which is set for a sequel.
Meanwhile, Heart of Stone’s agent action is obviously on potential franchise, which can easily be expanded to other films in the style of James Bond and Mission: Impossible with ever new international locations. Provided, of course, that enough people tune in to Netflix.

Heart of Stone: Matthias Schweighöfer
After Matthias Schweighöfer has blossomed into a German star in Hollywood in recent years in Netflix films such as Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead and Army of Thieves, he could remain at Gal Gadot’s side like James Bond’s Q.
