In a very heated and competitive bidding war, Netflix secured the rights to its next big-budget espionage action thriller, Heart of Stone, which will star Gal Gadot. Filming took place throughout 2022 and will be released on Netflix in 2023.

The movie is developed by the Skydance Media production company which is also behind such significant projects as Mission: Impossible: Fallout, The Old Guard, Annihilation, Top Gun: Maverick, and many more. Just like Mission: Impossible, Netflix hopes that Heart of Stone will begin a new female-centric espionage franchise.

Netflix’s Heart of Stone will be directed by Tom Harper, who has worked on projects such as Peaky Blinders, The Aeronauts, Wild Rose, War & Peace, and more.

The script for Heart of Stone is written by Greg Rucka (The Old Guard) and Allison Schroeder, the latter of whom was Oscar-nominated for Hidden Figures.

George Steel (Netflix’s The Sandman, The Aeronauts) will serve as director of photography on the project.

Skydance Media’s David Ellison will produce the film with Dana Goldberg, Bonnie Curtis, Julie Lynn, Jaron Varsano, and Don Granger, along with Gadot and her Pilot Wave producing partner Jaron Varsano, Bonnie Curtis, and Julie Lynn.


What’s the Netflix release date for Heart of Stone?

At the Netflix TUDUM event in 2022, it was revealed during the first look trailer that Heart of Stone would arrive sometime in 2023. We got an official first look at the new movie alongside that announcement.

Then in January 2023, the movie was officially announced to be coming to Netflix globally on August 11th, 2023.

What’s the plot of Heart of Stone?

Sadly, for the longest time, not a lot was known about the actual plot of Heart of Stone at the moment, except for the general direction of a female-led version of Mission: Impossible or the 007 franchise.

However, we’ve now got a bit more of a fleshed out plot courtesy of Netflix:

“Rachel Stone is an intelligence operative, the only woman who stands between her powerful, global, peace-keeping organization and the loss of its most valuable — and dangerous — asset.”
