Israeli actress and “Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot will star in the biggest feature film ever made by Netflix.

“Red Notice,” also starring Ryan Reynolds and Duane Johnson, will have a production budget of about $130 million.

The action thriller, set for release in late 2020, is centered around the pursuit of the most wanted art thief in the world.

Netflix picked up the film after Universal Studios balked on producing, Deadline Hollywood first reported.

Johnson, aka The Rock, and Gadot appeared together in “Fast and Furious 6.”

Gadot, 34, a native of Petach Tikvah, posted a teaser about the movie on Instagram.

“So excited about this project! This is gonna be so much fun & I can’t wait to share this one with you. Let’s do this boys!” the “Wonder Woman’ star wrote.

Johnson will be paid $20 million to make the film. Deadline Hollywood did not report how much Gadot would receive, but some media reports put the figure also at $20 million.
