In March 2020, Gadot and a number of other celebrities, including her "Wonder Woman 1984" co-star Kristen Wiig, performed an online version of the song "Imagine" by John Lennon, intended to raise morale during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the video was poorly received by the public who dismissed it as an ineffective response to the pandemic; Jon Caramanica of "The New York Times" called it "an empty and profoundly awkward gesture". Gadot later acknowledged the video did not garner the positive reaction that had been intended, but was unapologetic in explaining the thinking behind it.
