Joss Whedon, director of "Justice League," might not be "Wonder Woman" star Gal Gadot's biggest fan.

In an interview to entertainment publication The Hollywood Reporter, actor Ray Fisher, who plays Cyborg, said that Whedon and Gadot had clashed during "Justice League" reshoots.

The article quoted an unnamed witness to the events on set who said that Whedon told Gadot "he's the writer and she's going to shut up and say the lines and he can make her look incredibly stupid in this movie."

The argument on set reportedly erupted after Gadot felt that Whedon was asking her to play Wonder Woman as a more aggressive character than in the original movie, and the two continued to argue about specific lines for the character.

The conflict was resolved only after Gadot and Patty Jenkins, who directed "Wonder Woman" and its sequel, "Wonder Woman 1984," met with Warner Brothers officials.

When Gadot was asked about the dispute, she restricted her response to a statement in which she said, "I had my issues with [Whedon] and Warner Bros. handled it in a timely manner."
