Check Out Gal Gadot In These Badass New WONDER WOMAN Production Stills

While the wait has surely been long, it may undoubtedly turn out to be worth it for DC Comics fans rooting for actress Gal Gadot in the wake of premiering this year in Zack Snyder’s Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice as superheroine favorite, Wonder Woman. Just in time for her 75th anniversary celebration, Comic-Con International is readying the amazonian savior’s promotional run of her new standalone feature film from Monster helmer Patty Jenkins whose appointment as director of the big scale DC property from Warner Bros. hasn’t been without its stumbles, and needless to say, the first phase of the hard part is finally over.

SYNOPSIS:

Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

And now, the next phase begins as it has following a first look glimpse on TV earlier this year and with teasers and trailers now pending. This week, Entertainment Weekly is getting in on the fun with a small but solid batch of production stills which you can check out below.

Gadot is joined by Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, David Thewlis, Danny Huston, Elena Anaya, Ewen Bremner and Saïd Taghmaoui. Allan Heinberg and Geoff Johns wrote the film with story by Zack Snyder & Allan Heinberg inspired by William Moulton Marston’s original creation.

Wonder Woman opens in theaters on June 2, 2017. Check out the pics below!

WONDER WOMAN Gets Michelle MacLaren To Direct!

Without further delay, word from The Hollywood Reporter announced that Michelle MacLaren has officially signed on to direct the forthcoming Wonder Woman feature film, based on the original comic book superheroine created in 1941. MacLaren‘s attachment comes just a month after it was stated that a female director was being sought after for the film, for which actress Gal Gadot was formally brought on to star in the title role almost a year ago. The film would mark the first of a trilogy to fit somewhere in between the latter four years of the current WB/DCU schedule with Wonder Woman set to release on June 23, 2017.

It’s high time though, what with all the progress made by Marvel in its line-up and the online banter and criticisms regarding how slow Warner Bros. has been to bring its DC Cinematic Universe to full fruition. The popular Amazonian demigod has endured through the ages on paper, through television with actress Lynda Carter famously portraying the role in 1975, as well as a number of animated appearances prior to the failure of television networks, the CW and NBC to get their own shows off the ground. So it was a bit of a breath of fresh air to see Warner Bros. finally take the property seriously with their announcement late last year after stating how difficult it would be before then…

Oh how times change!

MacLaren‘s is in great straits with notable television credits like AMC’s Breaking Bad and its forthcoming spin-off series, Better Call Saul to name a few. Her name came as one of a few to make the internet rounds along with Green Street and Punisher: War Zone helmer Lexi Alexander who shared her own reluctance this month to direct the film, largely citing pressure due to carrying the weight and responsibility of gender equality between male and female-led superhero movies. It’s a noteworthy subject in my own opinion, although it does feel a little self-defeating.

At any rate, its probably a relief Alexander didn’t take the job lest she crack midway through filming or something like that; Hopefully her cult success will grant her something special to work with and bring something to movie lovers. As for MacLaren, well, it appears we finally have someone willing to take the job head on, which is all we can ask for at this point, other than they not screw this up.

Charles Roven and Zack and Deborah Snyder producing the film with MacLaren developing the script with a team of currently-unnamed writers. Wonder Woman will arrive just over a year after Gadot debuts her character in Zack Snyder’s March 25, 2016 release of Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice.

Gal Gadot Set To Star As Wonder Woman In BATMAN VS SUPERMAN

Gal Gadot Set To Star As Wonder Woman In BATMAN VS SUPERMAN

It’s been a busy day in movie news, particularly in the superhero movie department. Long after at least one failed television show with another barely seeing the light of day, fans and followers of DC Comics’s efforts to bring forth the sequel to the 2013 blockbuster Man Of Steel have been clamoring over whether or not Wonder Woman would appear in the film, and if so, which actress would qualify to play her. Backing the widespread fan anticipation was the voice of Warner Entertainment CEO Kevin Tsujihara who told The Hollywood Reporter back in October “We need to get Wonder Woman on the big screen or TV.”

Well, after narrowing their search down to three actresses last month, Warner Bros. latest announcement verified that such a character belongs on the big screen in the first place, with the news that actress Gal Gadot would be playing the iconic Amazonian superheroine for Zack Snyder‘s Batman vs. Superman. Warner Bros. Pictures stated the following:

Wonder Woman/Diana Prince will make her big screen debut in Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman Batman Film! 

Snyder stated, “Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character.”

Gadot‘s most memorable appearance as of late has been the previous three completed films of the Universal Pictures action franchise, Fast And Furious, which reportedly announced a tentative shut down of production for the seventh installation on Wednesday following actor Paul Walker’s death four days earlier. Gadot will star with the cast in the upcoming release of Fast And Furious 6 on Blu-Ray and DVD on December 10, with proceeds going to the late actor’s charitable organization, Reach Out Worldwide.

Currently titled Batman vs. Superman, Gadot will star with Henry Cavill reprising his role as Superman/Clark Kent, with Ben Affleck joining as Batman/Bruce Wayne. Also returning are actresses Amy Adams and Diane Lane, and actors Laurence Fishburne and Harry Lennix for a July 17, 2015 release.
