Gadot's initial comments about Whedon's alleged threat came in a May interview with Israeli news outletN12, in which the Wonder Woman actress said, "I had my issues with Joss, and I handled it."

"He threatened my career and said that if I do something, he will make sure my career is miserable and I took care of it on the spot," she added. (Whedon did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment at the time.)

In amore recent conversation forELLE's"Women in Hollywood" November 2021 issue, Gadot said she was "shocked" by how Whedon spoke toward her on set, saying she "was shaking trees as soon as it happened."

"And I must say that the heads of Warner Bros., they took care of it," she added, in part. "Going back to the sense of righteousness that I have ... 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."

A rep for Whedon did not comment to PEOPLE at the time.

In his interview with New York Magazine, Whedon also addressed claims from Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg in Justice League, after Fisher, 34, said on Twitter in July 2020 that Whedon "was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable" during reshoots on the film.

In an October 2020 interview withForbes, Fisher further alleged that "race was just one of the issues with the reshoot process." He said at the time, "There were massive blowups, threats, coercion, taunting, unsafe work conditions, belittling and gaslighting like you wouldn't believe."

Fisher went on to say last year in a feature for The Hollywood Reporterthat his own creative input was continually not taken seriously by producer and DC Films co-chairman Geoff Johns and other leadership, including Whedon.

The latter denied Fisher's claims to New York Magazine, saying he trimmed Cyborg's role in the film because his plot "logically made no sense" and he wasn't a fan of Fisher's acting in it. He also denied digital lightening specifically of Fisher's skin tone, telling New York Magazine that he brightened everything in postproduction.

According to the publication, Whedon said Fisher's allegations were neither "true or merited discussing." He described Fisher's actions as "a malevolent force," adding, "We're talking about a bad actor in both senses."

While Fisher didn't respond to related interview requests from New York Magazine, he tweeted Monday, "Looks like Joss Whedon got to direct an endgame after all "

"Rather than address all of the lies and buffoonery todayI will be celebrating the legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr," he added. "Tomorrow the work continues. #MLKDay A>E."

Whedon took over directing duties on Justice League after original filmmaker Zack Snyderstepped away from the movieafter his 20-year-old daughter's death by suicide.
