They can't really go by fan posts--that's anecdotal evidence and unreliable. They must have an objective way to determine which actors in a movie have the best Q score. I'm curious to know how that works.
However, I do think it's all about representation. Some actors have better representation than others. While it might be that Gal Gadot's people got her a good deal for WONDER WOMAN 1984--it's Robbie who is getting all the good roles in movies. I would think Gadot would be working a lot, with the push she got from WONDER WOMAN. But other than voice work and cameos, the only role she's had was in JUSTICE LEAGUE. At the same time, Robbie has been in five movies and will be in three more before BIRDS OF PREY or WONDER WOMAN 1984 are released. Gadot's people haven't been able to parlay her Wonder Woman success into anything else but playing Wonder Woman.
