Gal Gadot’s “Heart of Stone” is number one on Netflix in 93 countries, including in six Arab nations.
The spy thriller released on August 11, is in the top spot in Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman.
Several of those countries have in the past banned the Israeli star’s films, including blockbuster “Wonder Woman,” in which she played the lead role.
According to the streaming service, the film has so far racked up 69,600,000 hours of viewing time.
In the film, Gadot plays Rachel Stone, a highly trained intelligence agent who is also a member of an even more secret international organization with no political or national allegiances, called The Charter, that works to preserve world peace.
