Gal Gadot reveals she won’t return as Wonder Woman, calls Henry Cavill’s exit ‘not handled elegantly’

<p>The three pillars of DC are Superman, Batman and Wonder. Ever since the DCU was announced, we have been getting steady updates on the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight, with the upcoming <em>Superman</em> movie and <em>Batman: The Brave and the Bold</em> in pre-production, but when it comes to Wonder Woman, the updates have been slim.</p>

Wonder Woman: James Gunn drops an update on when fans get to see the DCU's Diane in action

<p>Although superhero cinema has long been dominated by white, male protagonists, in the last few years, the trend has begun to shift a little. It all began, I believe, with 2017's <em>Wonder Woman.</em> While easily the most popular female superhero in comics, giving the character a full-fledged film was considered a gamble due to the belief that there aren't many who would watch a female superhero kicking butt. Those people were proven dead wrong. Next year, in 2018,<em> Black Panther </em>released, and destroyed another enduring myth that a high-budget, commercial superhero movie with a predominantly African American cast will not work. And yet again, the naysayers were proven wrong.</p>

<p>With these two films, we saw a significant shift in the representation of superheroes on the big screen. Women and people of colour finally had their chance to shine as the lead heroes, and audiences flocked to theaters to see them in action. This trend has continued with films like <em>Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse</em> and Captain Marvel. DC's upcoming <em>Blue Beetle </em>introduces the first live-action feature-length superhero film with a Latino superhero in the lead. The trailer was received very well, and the film looks great.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/10-marvel-dc-characters-who-need-their-own-movies-511168/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<p>However, some have cynically questioned whether this collective shift of studios towards inclusivity is a genuine effort to promote diversity, or simply a way to capture more markets.</p>

<p>Let's be honest, the film industry is a business, and studios make decisions based on their bottomline. They invest millions of dollars into each project, and they want to see a return on that investment. So it's not surprising that some might view the recent influx of superhero movies featuring diverse leads as a calculated financial decision.</p>

<p>However, it's important to recognise that the demand for more diverse representation in film and media has been growing for years, and studios are finally starting to take notice. Audiences are craving stories that reflect the world we live in, and they want to see themselves represented on screen. It's not just about making money; it's about meeting a demand and giving people what they want.</p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/five-great-superhero-movies-that-are-not-dc-or-marvel-510918/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<p>Moreover, including superheroes of colour and women is not just a way to capture a larger market, but also a way to appeal to a wider range of people. By featuring diverse characters and stories, studios are able to reach new audiences who may have previously felt excluded from the superhero genre. It's a smart move from a business perspective, but it's also a step towards greater inclusivity in Hollywood.</p>

<p>Of course, there are always going to be those who view the inclusion of diverse characters as a threat to their own sense of entitlement. They might view it as "political correctness gone mad" or accuse studios of "forcing diversity down our throats." But the truth is that diversity and inclusivity have always been essential to storytelling, and it's only natural that our media should reflect the diverse world we live in.</p>

<p>So, while it might be true that studios are motivated by financial gain, we shouldn't dismiss the importance of diverse representation in superhero films. These movies have the power to inspire and empower people of all ages and backgrounds, and that's a value that can't be measured in dollars and cents. In the end, whether it's being "woke" or just smart, including women superheroes and that of colour in mainstream media is a win-win situation for everyone but the bigoted.</p>

However, it's important to recognise that the demand for more diverse representation in film and media has been growing for years, and studios are finally starting to take notice. Audiences are craving stories that reflect the world we live in, and they want to see themselves represented on screen. It's not just about making money; it's about meeting a demand and giving people what they want. Moreover, including superheroes of colour and women is not just a way to capture a larger market, but also a way to appeal to a wider range of people. By featuring diverse characters and stories, studios are able to reach new audiences who may have previously felt excluded from the superhero genre. It's a smart move from a business perspective, but it's also a step towards greater inclusivity in Hollywood.

They might view it as "political correctness gone mad" or accuse studios of "forcing diversity down our throats." But the truth is that diversity and inclusivity have always been essential to storytelling, and it's only natural that our media should reflect the diverse world we live in.

These movies have the power to inspire and empower people of all ages and backgrounds, and that's a value that can't be measured in dollars and cents. In the end, whether it's being "woke" or just smart, including women superheroes and that of colour in mainstream media is a win-win situation for everyone but the bigoted.

Being 'woke' or just smart business? What's behind influx of superhero movies with diverse leads?

<p>The world is celebrating International Women's Day on Wednesday, March 8. It has been observed, in one form or another, since the early 1900s and is a day to recognise the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It is also a day to raise awareness of the ongoing, and seemingly perpetual, struggle for gender equality and women's rights. It aims to bring attention to the challenges and injustices that women face in their daily lives all over the world, such as gender-based violence, unequal pay, limited access to education and healthcare, and lack of representation in politics, leadership, and other roles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Like every other industry, Hollywood has also suffered from a lack of representation for women. Female characters have more often than not been relegated to stereotypical roles such as love interests, damsels in distress, or sidekicks. That, however, thankfully is changing with the times.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here are the 10 best female characters in Hollywood that remind us why strong onscreen representations of women as, well, human beings with complex motivations, are important. Young girls growing up watching these women carve their own paths and defy societal norms will believe that they, too, can be powerful, intelligent, and successful.</p>

<h2>1. Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot)</h2>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pJCgeOAKXyg" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

She is also armed with a variety of powerful weapons, including the Lasso of Truth, Bracelets of Submission, and a magical sword. In addition to her physical abilities, Wonder Woman is also a skilled strategist and leader, serving as a symbol of hope and justice.</p>

<h2>2. Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence)</h2>

<p>The protagonist of the Hunger Games franchise, Katniss is a skilled archer and survivor who becomes the symbol of rebellion against the Capitol. She is also a master strategist and is able to outsmart her opponents in the deadly Hunger Games arena. Despite the trauma she has experienced, Katniss remains determined to fight for justice and protect those she loves.</p>

<h2>3. Rey (Daisy Ridley)</h2>

<p>As the main character of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Rey possesses a deep connection to the Force, a mystical energy that allows her to manipulate objects and perform incredible feats of strength. She is also a skilled fighter, able to take on the forces of the First Order with determination and bravery.</p>

<h2>4. Hermione Granger (Emma Watson)</h2>

<p>As a member of the "Golden Trio" in the Harry Potter series, Hermione is a brilliant witch and scholar who possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of magical spells and creatures. She is also a skilled duelist and is able to think quickly on her feet in dangerous situations. Despite facing discrimination for being a "mudblood," Hermione remains determined to fight for equality and justice in the wizarding world.</p>

<h2>5. Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster)&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Starling represents an intelligent and capable female protagonist in the male-dominated field of law enforcement. In both the novel and film adaptation of The Silence of the Lambs, Clarice faces numerous challenges and obstacles, including her own traumatic past, but she perseveres and proves herself to be a competent investigator.</p>

<h2>6. Ripley (Sigourney Weaver)&nbsp;</h2>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/U-mmbStFrAA" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>As the main character of the Alien franchise, Ripley is a survivor who is able to take on the deadly Xenomorphs with a combination of intelligence, bravery, and physical prowess. She is also a skilled pilot and is able to operate the ship's systems with ease. Despite facing overwhelming odds, Ripley remains determined to protect herself and those around her from the alien threat.</p>

<h2>7. Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron)&nbsp;</h2>

<p>As the main character of Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa is a one-armed warrior who leads a group of women in a fight against Immortan Joe, a tyrannical leader who controls the water supply in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Furiosa is a skilled fighter and driver, able to take on Joe's army with a combination of cunning and physical prowess.</p>

<h2>8. Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton)</h2>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j62u1IBL3O0" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>As the protagonist of the Terminator franchise, Sarah Connor is a warrior who fights against machines sent from the future to kill her and her son, John. She is a skilled marksman and is able to improvise weapons and traps to take down the Terminators. Despite facing seemingly insurmountable odds, Sarah remains determined to protect her son and stop the machines from taking over the world.</p>

<h2>9. Éowyn (Miranda Otto)</h2>

<p>In a franchise overflowing with male characters Éowyn is a standout in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy because she is a strong and complex female character who breaks gender norms and expectations. She is a skilled warrior who is not afraid to face danger and fight for what she believes in, but also struggles with a sense of purpose and belonging.</p>

<h2>10. Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie)</h2>

<p>Lara Croft's self-reliance and resilience make her an excellent role model for women. Her complexity as a character allows her to be more than just a one-dimensional action hero, and her vulnerabilities and flaws make her relatable and empathetic. Additionally, her representation as one of the first mainstream female action heroes in Hollywood challenged gender stereotypes and helped pave the way for other women to take on similar roles.&nbsp;</p>

International Women's Day 2023: 10 strongest female characters in Hollywood

<p>We are inching towards an end to the superhero era, it seems. One of DC Universe's most successful franchises 'Wonder Woman' is not getting the third installment.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
According to a report in The Hollywood Reporter, Patty Jenkins' 'Wonder Woman 3' has been cancelled and is "considered dead in its current incarnation."</p>

<p>According to reports, co-chairs and co-CEOs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy, along with James Gunn and Peter Safran broke the news to Jenkins soon after she had submitted her treatment of the project. The filmmaker had co-written the project with Geoff Johns.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Gunn and Safran were recently hired to lead a newly launched film and TV division for Warner Bros. called Discover. Jenkins was told that her project did not fit in with the new plans for the DC Cinematic Universe.</p>

<p>What remains of DC in its current cinematic state is in a shifting period, which may involve closing of the previous Snyderverse and the actors that portrayed the heroes. According to the sources, this means that the likes of Henry Cavill and Jason Momoa will no longer be returning as Superman and Aquaman.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>The wonder years of 'Wonder Woman'</strong><br />
<br />
'Wonder Woman' took baby steps in the DC universe before she became a legit star. Featuring Gal Gadot in the titular, the character was first seen in 'Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice'. While the film was dismal, Gadot's character caught everyone's attention which led to DC producing the 2017 film 'Wonder Woman' which was helmed by Patty Jenkins.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
The film told the origin story of the Amazon princess turned hero, as she discovered the world that was currently enveloped in The Great War. The movie was a box office hit and garnered praises from both critics and fans alike with some critics even calling it DC Extended Universe’s best film.<br />
<br />
The success of the film led to a sequel in 2020 with 'Wonder Woman 1984'. This film followed Diana being reunited with her lost love, Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), and facing the incoming threat of Maxwell Lord and Cheetah. 'Wonder Woman 1984' did not get the same reception as its predecessor and fell short of breaking even at the box office. While the second film may not have worked, fans were still looking forward to the third part. On Wednesday, Gal Gadot tweeted a thank you to her fans and expressed gratitude for being able to play the character.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The new phase of DC Cinematic Universe</strong><br />
<br />
Reports state that DC Cinematic Universe is going through a sea change. The decision seems pertinent as it comes just after the dismal performance of 'Black Adam' at the box office.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
With the new shifting direction, there’s a chance of the old character being left behind except for Jason Momoa, who is rumored to return in the new DC Extended Universe, not as Aquaman but as the intergalactic bounty hunter, Lobo.</p>

Gal Gadot hints her kids may appear again in 'Wonder Woman 3'

<p>A video is doing the rounds online, appearing to show Superman and Wonder Woman 'solving' the Kashmir 'dispute'. It's not clear whether the animated clip is&nbsp;officially produced by DC, the comics home of Superman, whose official YouTube channel does not host the video. But the mention of Kashmir as 'disputed' has riled many social media users in India.</p>

<p>Jammu and Kashmir is an inseparable part of India.</p>

<p>The clip purportedly shows Superman and Wonder Woman, two of the most powerful heroes from the DC Comic Universe, destroying military equipment in 'disputed Kashmir'.</p>

<p>Media reports said the two heroes are destroying Indian military infrastructure. The voiceover in the clip can says that Superman and Wonder Woman destroy 'every piece of military equipment declaring 'an arms-free zone'. There is no apparent mention of India or Pakistan but Kashmir can be heard as being referred to as a 'disputed' territory.</p>

<p>And many netizens are not happy.</p>

<p>"Why are they so specific about Kashmir? First they refer to an imaginary place like m'gota, but the next moment they mention Kashmir. Its better to keep quiet about complex geopolitical affairs that they don't know anything about..." says a Twitter user.</p>

<p>Gal Gadot is welcoming her third baby girl!<br />
<br />
The `Wonder Woman` actor revealed that she is expecting a third baby girl with her husband Yaron Varsano.<br />
<br />
The actor shared the happy news on the talk show `Live with Kelly and Ryan` hosted by Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest. Gadot said, while spilling the beans about the gender of her third child, "It`s baby girl number three. Yes, we`re sticking to what we know."<br />
<br />
Gadot and Varsano, who tied the knot in 2008, are already proud parents to two daughters- nine-year-old Alma and three-year-old Maya.<br />
<br />
As she is preparing to welcome her third baby, Gadot shared what lessons she has learned from the first two kids. "With Alma, with our first, we completely messed up the whole sleep routine, and when Maya was born, we were like, `No more,`" she reflected.<br />
<br />
She added, "So Maya is, like, she can sleep through the night since she was five months. Alma--still at 9--sneaks into our bed, so I think that`s something we`re going to stick to doing. We`re going to sleep train her... I feel like this is the hardest part about parenthood, the lack of sleep."<br />
<br />
`The Death on the Nile` star shared that she was pregnant back in March, writing on Twitter, "Here we go again," alongside a family photo.<br />
<br />
Three weeks ago, Gadot flaunted her growing baby bump with a picture of herself reading scripts in the yard, as she wore a black one-piece bathing suit. "Working... on two major projects," she wrote with a winking face.<br />
<br />
Varsano starred alongside his wife in the 2020 movie `Wonder Woman 1984` and is producing two of her upcoming projects: `Heart of Stone` and `Cleopatra`, which is directed by `Wonder Woman` mastermind Patty Jenkins.</p>

<p>Director Patty Jenkins and her 'Wonder Woman'&nbsp;cast have been open about the struggles making both their first standalone feature and its recent sequel, 'Wonder Woman 1984.'&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a new revelation an actor from revealed that the plotline to the original 'Wonder Woman'&nbsp;film, released in 2017, had an incredibly troubling origin story that director Jenkins removed.</p>

<p>Actress Connie Nielsen, who played Hippolyta, the mother of Diana/Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) said that Jenkins refused to have the Amazon be victimised through a traumatic backstory.</p>

<p>“She was very clear about what the Amazons were supposed to be. And I think that there had originally been some idea that the Amazons had been deeply traumatized by some kind of horrible event that involved mass rape. And Patty just said, ‘Hm, no. No, no, we’re not gonna put that on those Amazons. We don’t want to start out seeing them as victims, and why would we,’” said Nielsen.<br />
<br />
During a recent discussion with fellow “Wonder Woman” actress Robin Wright over on Collider, Nielsen said recalled that Jenkins was not ready to portray Amazons as victims. “Let’s just get rid of that part and make sure that these are heroes in their own terms. They’ve not been part of the victims of history. They are these unbelievably courageous women and we’re not gonna saddle them with trauma from the outset. We’re going to have them be received by people on the basis of who they are. What is their culture? Why are they so fierce? What does it mean to live on an island where there are no guys?” Nielsen added, “It made so much sense, you know? You needed them to have a very uncomplicated background in order to be able to just accept them as the heroes that they are.”</p>

<p>Last year, Jenkins herself discussed almost quitting the franchise over not being paid what she was worth. “I totally did [come close to walking away],” Jenkins said. “I started to walk away. I was going to walk away. I even said, ‘I would be happy to go to another studio and make a quarter as much because it’s not a sequel on principle. No problem.”</p>

<p>The trailer of 'Zack Snyder's Justice League' is finally out and it introduces new characters which were not part of the original 2018 release. It is everything that Whedon's version was not. The battles are of epic proportions and it even has some popular DC villains along with the superheroes.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
After weeks of teasing the audience with glimpses of his film, Snyder unveiled the full trailer of the film on Sunday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The four-hour-long expanded version of 'Justice League' will premiere on HBO MAX &nbsp;on March 18.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The video gives a glimpse of an epic battle between Superman and villain Darkseid played by Ray Porter. Porter's character was part of the first cut of the film but ultimately dropped from the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The trailer also gives a glimpse of DC's other supervillain The Joker (Jared Leto) who can be seen talking to Ben Affleck's Batman. "We live in a society where honour is a distant memory," The Joker says while staring at a foggy skyline. "Isn't that right, Batman?"<br />
<br />
Snyder cut comes after year-long campaigning to get Warner Bros to release this version of the<strong> film. Zack Snyder</strong> was the original director of 'Justice League' but walked out in 2017 due to creative differences with the studio and to deal with a family tragedy.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
Warner Bros had eventually roped in Joss Whedon, who reshot major portion and changed the script of the film. Whedon's version of 'Justice League' failed to create any impact at the Box Office. Whedon was also accused by actor Ray Fisher of being abusive and unprofessional on the sets of the film.&nbsp;<br />
By 2018, Snyder's fans began a campaign urging the studio to release Snyder's version of the movie. Their plea was backed by actors Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, and Jason Momoa along with Snyder himself.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In <strong>May 2020, Snyder announced </strong>in a live stream that his version of Justice League would premiere in 2021 on HBO Max – after WarnerMedia spent tens of millions on new visual effects and additional photography. Snyder made clear that none of the material shot by Whedon will appear in his version.</p>

'Wonder Woman 1984' makes huge streaming debut on HBO Max

<p>Before creating a storm in the DC superhero universe with 'Wonder Woman', Patty Jenkins was supposed to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe with 'Thor'. However, the director ended up quitting the film despite her interest. Jenkins was replaced on 'Thor 2', a critical dud, by Alan Taylor. The movie released as 'Thor: The Dark World' in 2013.<br />
<br />
Recently, she opened up about the entire episode. The 49-year-old revealed in a podcast, "Word got out that I wanted to do a superhero film and to Marvel's credit&nbsp;on a movie that didn't require a woman at all they hired me. So, I've always been super grateful to them even though it didn't work out. They wanted to do a story that I thought was not going to succeed, and I knew it couldn't be me."<br />
<br />
"If they hired any guy to do it, it wouldn't be a big deal, but I knew in my heart that I could not make a good movie out of the story they wanted to do," Jenkins said. Directing the movie would have made Jenkins the first female filmmaker to helm a big-budget superhero movie but she realised that if the film did not do well, it would ruin her prospects of directing other tentpole films, something that probably would not happen if she were a man.

Jenkins, whose 'Wonder Woman 1984' has scored the biggest opening weekend for any film since theatres opened,&nbsp;wanted to direct 'Wonder Woman' immediately after the success of 'Monster'&nbsp;in 2003.

'Wonder Woman' director Patty Jenkins opens up about quitting Marvel's 'Thor 2'

Warner Bros. said it would accelerate the development of a third “Wonder Woman” movie also written and directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot as the lasso-wielding warrior.

<p>Although the sequel didn't seem to thrill fans, it did have record-breaking viewers once it finally released. It made $85 million worldwide.<br />

'Wonder Woman 3': Everything to know about the third installment of the DC Universe's successful franchise

<p>“Wonder Woman 1984” pulled in $36.1 million at worldwide theaters over the Christmas holiday weekend and boosted streaming viewership on HBO Max, Warner Bros. said on Sunday as it confirmed plans for a third film in the superhero franchise.</p>

<p>An estimated $16.7 million of the box office total came from U.S. and Canadian theaters, the AT&amp;T Inc-owned studio said on Sunday. That ranked as the highest domestic opening since the COVID pandemic shuttered theaters in March, though the numbers were a fraction of usual receipts for a big-budget action flick. The 2017 “Wonder Woman” film opened with $103.2 million domestically.</p>

<p>With two-thirds of North American theaters closed, Warner Bros. opted for an unusual arrangement, making “WW84” available at the same time to U.S. customers of AT&amp;T’s HBO Max streaming service.</p>

<p>Millions watched the film on HBO Max, the company said in a statement, but it did not specify how long they tuned in. Total viewing hours on the platform tripled on Friday compared with a typical day in the previous month, the statement said.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-wonder-woman-star-gal-gadot-wants-closure-for-the-series-352671" hreflang="en">'Wonder Woman' star Gal Gadot wants 'closure' for the series</a></p>

'Wonder Woman' director Patty Jenkins to helm Star Wars film 'Rogue Squadron'

<p>Hollywood star Gal Gadot on Tuesday said the team of "Wonder Woman 1984" wanted to "raise the bar" with the upcoming superhero film, which has been the toughest acting job in her career till date.<br />
<br />
"Wonder Woman 1984", a highly-anticipated follow-up to the 2017 DC superhero blockbuster, will see Gadot reprise her role as the Amazonian warrior Diana Prince/ Wonder Woman and director Patty Jenkins return at the helm. The sequel follows Wonder Woman facing two all-new foes: Maxwell Lord, played by "Narcos" star Pedro Pascal, and The Cheetah aka Barbara Minerva, essayed by Kristen Wiig, known for "Bridesmaids".<br />
<br />
Unlike other superhero movies that are heavily dependent on computer-generated imagery (CGI) to execute high-octane stunt sequences, "Wonder Woman 1984" mostly has real people pulling off the choreography, Gadot said.<br />
<br />
"Most of the stuff you see in the film is real people doing the real thing, whether it is us or the stuntpeople. "When you see it in the movie, you can tell it's the real deal - be it the facial expressions, weight, movement and speed. It was the hardest movie I ever got to shoot by far but it was worth it," Gadot told select media, including PTI, at the film's virtual global press conference from Los Angeles.<br />
<br />
The 2017 original stand-alone film, which critics and audience felt was much needed in the male-dominated superhero space, followed Diana's journey as a sheltered Amazonian princess to a true warrior. "Wonder Woman", both a critical and box office success, was received so favourably that there was no way the team was going to take any shortcuts, Gadot said.<br />
<br />
"We wanted to raise the bar, give everything we have. We knew people were so much invested in and cared about the character," she said, adding she wasn't lucky enough to see a character like Woman Woman on screen while growing up. The final battle between Wonder Woman and Cheetah, Jenkins said, was one of the most complex scenes and required them to build a set from scratch. "There was no stage big enough in the world to execute it," she added.<br />
<br />
The director said she and Gadot were clear from the outset that the fight scenes between Wonder Woman and Cheetah would be "completely different". "They had a friendship in the past, it's not about punching in the face. They are both trying to get the other one out of control. Narratively and spatially, it was fascinating, and executing it was long, laborious, and wild."<br />
<br />
"Everything was well planned and intentional," added Wiig, who plays the awkward gemologist Barbara-turned-apex predator Cheetah. Mostly known for her comedic turns, Wiig said, playing a villain was a "scary but fun experience". "I don't really get asked to do these kinds of things. I'm a superhero geek. I haven't done anything like this before. We really didn't want her to be a mousy girl turned villain. We wanted it to be - what is it about her that makes her so lonely, invisible and what does she want?" she added.<br />
<br />
Pascal said he went through "the Patty Jenkins experience" while playing Maxwell, a charismatic businessman with a hidden agenda. "It has to be complete, have all the risks, and humanity, no matter how dark the character is. I definitely didn't know if I'd be able to get in there. I owe it to my director if it worked. "It was scary and thrilling to do something that is a lot closer to me... The exposed desperation, instead of a brute with a moustache," he added. Recalling the time she saw the opening sequence of "Wonder Woman 1984",<br />
<br />
Gadot said she was "deeply moved" to see her younger on-screen self resonate strongly with her real eight-year-old self. "That's when I realised the power of these movies. I'm a big believer that when you see it, you think you can be it and then you become it. Now seeing how this character affects my daughters, and also boys and men, it is so powerful." While the first film was about the birth of Wonder Woman and her discovery of humanity, the sequel explores how she lives with this humanity.<br />
<br />
"She is trying to teach everyone she encounters how to be their better self. (But) She is not perfect either. Being a hero is not an easy thing. That was what I was interested in," Jenkins said. Gadot said she had a wonderful collaborator in Jenkins. "She is a director who is there with you, for you, behind you, besides you and to guide you. That gives you the freedom to really let go and take all the risks one can be very frightened to take if they don't have such a partner." Creating the history of Diana and her life post the events of the first film, set in 1918, was an important point of discussion between Gadot and the director.<br />
<br />
"She lost all of her team members, she has been lonely. She doesn't want to make new friends because they are going to realise she doesn't age, they are going to die and she has to let go.

<br />
The film will also see Chris Pine return as Captain Steve Trevor, who had presumably died in 1918. Robin Wright as Antiope, and Connie Nielsen as Hippolyta, Diana's aunt and mother, also have a presence in the movie. Pine said reprising his role of Steve as a man who reappears after over six decades was like playing "a proverbial fish out of the water", whom Diana helps adjust to the new world in what is a role swap from the first film. "It was a bit harder than I expected. It is something usually played by the woman and we played with those tropes in the first film.<br />
<br />
The greatest acting challenge of all time is to pretend to be a child in a world seeing everything (for the first time). "In the first film, Steve is the audience who sees Woman Woman fly with a lasso and do all sorts of crazy stuff. He begins to believe just like the audience members what it means to be compassionate," he said. "Wonder Woman 1984" is slated to be released in Indian cinemas on December 24 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Presented by Warner Bros Pictures, the film is an Atlas Entertainment/Stone Quarry Production.</p>


Hollywood star Gal Gadot on Tuesday said the team of "Wonder Woman 1984" wanted to "raise the bar" with the upcoming superhero film, which has been the toughest acting job in her career till date.

Hollywood star Gal Gadot on Tuesday said the team of "Wonder Woman 1984" wanted to "raise the bar" with the upcoming superhero film, which has been the toughest acting job in her career till date. "Wonder Woman 1984", a highly-anticipated follow-up to the 2017 DC superhero blockbuster, will see Gadot reprise her role as the Amazonian warrior Diana Prince/ Wonder Woman and director Patty Jenkins return at the helm. The sequel follows Wonder Woman facing two all-new foes: Maxwell Lord, played by "Narcos" star Pedro Pascal, and The Cheetah aka Barbara Minerva, essayed by Kristen Wiig, known for "Bridesmaids". Unlike other superhero movies that are heavily dependent on computer-generated imagery (CGI) to execute high-octane stunt sequences, "Wonder Woman 1984" mostly has real people pulling off the choreography, Gadot said. "Most of the stuff you see in the film is real people doing the real thing, whether it is us or the stuntpeople. "When you see it in the movie, you can tell it's the real deal - be it the facial expressions, weight, movement and speed. It was the hardest movie I ever got to shoot by far but it was worth it," Gadot told select media, including PTI, at the film's virtual global press conference from Los Angeles. The 2017 original stand-alone film, which critics and audience felt was much needed in the male-dominated superhero space, followed Diana's journey as a sheltered Amazonian princess to a true warrior. "Wonder Woman", both a critical and box office success, was received so favourably that there was no way the team was going to take any shortcuts, Gadot said. "We wanted to raise the bar, give everything we have. We knew people were so much invested in and cared about the character," she said, adding she wasn't lucky enough to see a character like Woman Woman on screen while growing up. The final battle between Wonder Woman and Cheetah, Jenkins said, was one of the most complex scenes and required them to build a set from scratch. "There was no stage big enough in the world to execute it," she added. The director said she and Gadot were clear from the outset that the fight scenes between Wonder Woman and Cheetah would be "completely different". "They had a friendship in the past, it's not about punching in the face. They are both trying to get the other one out of control. Narratively and spatially, it was fascinating, and executing it was long, laborious, and wild." "Everything was well planned and intentional," added Wiig, who plays the awkward gemologist Barbara-turned-apex predator Cheetah. Mostly known for her comedic turns, Wiig said, playing a villain was a "scary but fun experience". "I don't really get asked to do these kinds of things. I'm a superhero geek. I haven't done anything like this before. We really didn't want her to be a mousy girl turned villain. We wanted it to be - what is it about her that makes her so lonely, invisible and what does she want?" she added. Pascal said he went through "the Patty Jenkins experience" while playing Maxwell, a charismatic businessman with a hidden agenda. "It has to be complete, have all the risks, and humanity, no matter how dark the character is. I definitely didn't know if I'd be able to get in there. I owe it to my director if it worked. "It was scary and thrilling to do something that is a lot closer to me... The exposed desperation, instead of a brute with a moustache," he added. Recalling the time she saw the opening sequence of "Wonder Woman 1984", Gadot said she was "deeply moved" to see her younger on-screen self resonate strongly with her real eight-year-old self. "That's when I realised the power of these movies. I'm a big believer that when you see it, you think you can be it and then you become it. Now seeing how this character affects my daughters, and also boys and men, it is so powerful." While the first film was about the birth of Wonder Woman and her discovery of humanity, the sequel explores how she lives with this humanity. "She is trying to teach everyone she encounters how to be their better self. (But) She is not perfect either. Being a hero is not an easy thing. That was what I was interested in," Jenkins said. Gadot said she had a wonderful collaborator in Jenkins. "She is a director who is there with you, for you, behind you, besides you and to guide you. That gives you the freedom to really let go and take all the risks one can be very frightened to take if they don't have such a partner." Creating the history of Diana and her life post the events of the first film, set in 1918, was an important point of discussion between Gadot and the director. "She lost all of her team members, she has been lonely. She doesn't want to make new friends because they are going to realise she doesn't age, they are going to die and she has to let go. She has kind of isolated herself from the world and her only goal is to help and better mankind," Gadot said. The film will also see Chris Pine return as Captain Steve Trevor, who had presumably died in 1918. Robin Wright as Antiope, and Connie Nielsen as Hippolyta, Diana's aunt and mother, also have a presence in the movie. Pine said reprising his role of Steve as a man who reappears after over six decades was like playing "a proverbial fish out of the water", whom Diana helps adjust to the new world in what is a role swap from the first film.

<p>Patty Jenkins’ new “Wonder Woman” movie has been delayed three times during the coronavirus pandemic. Now, the director is sounding the alarm that movie-going itself is under real threat.</p>

<p>Jenkins is among dozens of top Hollywood directors appealing to the U.S. government to provide a financial lifeline to cinemas. Without it, she warned, the century-old tradition of going to the movies could disappear from American culture.</p>

<p>“If we shut this down, this will not be a reversible process,” she said in an interview from her home in Los Angeles. “We could lose movie theater-going forever.”</p>

<p>While theater attendance has rebounded in some countries following a global shutdown in March, the U.S. market is struggling. Cineworld Group Plc is temporarily closing Regal locations that reopened in August. The National Association of Theatre Owners said 69 per cent&nbsp;of small and mid-sized cinema companies could be forced to file for bankruptcy or shutter permanently.</p>

<p>Jenkins said widespread closures would lead Hollywood studios to stop investing in films for theaters, and turn to streaming instead.</p>

<p>“It could be the kind of thing that happened to the music industry,” she said, “where you could crumble the entire industry by making it something that can’t be profitable.”</p>

<p>Expensive action movies like “Wonder Woman” would be much less common on streaming, she said, and audiences would miss out on the experience of watching on a big screen in a large group.</p>

<p>“I don’t think any of us want to live in a world where the only option is to take your kids to watch a movie in your own living room,” she said, “and not have a place to go for a date.”</p>

<p>Some of this year’s major Hollywood films, including Walt Disney Co’s “Mulan,” skipped cinemas and went straight to streaming. Jenkins said that option is not under consideration for her sequel, “Wonder Woman 1984.” Her 2017 “Wonder Woman” film took in $822 million at box offices worldwide.</p>

<p>The follow-up starring Gal Gadot as the lasso-wielding warrior is now scheduled for release by AT&amp;T Inc’s Warner Bros on Christmas Day in December. It had originally been set for June.</p>

<p>Jenkins said she was watching the progress of the pandemic and hoping that Wonder Woman can lead a return to cinemas that gives people a welcome escape from reality.</p>

'Wonder Woman' director warns movie-going could become extinct

<p>Filmmaker Patty Jenkins says she rejected the offer to direct DC movie 'Justice League' because it had too many characters.</p>

<p>The 'Wonder Woman' filmmaker said she doesn't enjoy working on superhero films with shared universes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>''I love comics, but I've come to superheroes through films. There is in me this desire to emulate compared to the movies I saw as a child. A certain spirit that reigned in those times. Is that relevant when I shoot? I don't know.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The point is, unlike other directors, I don't really care about shared universes, continuity, and that kind of detail. ''I've been contacted to make a 'Justice League' movie in the past, and it doesn't connect to me. Too many characters," Jenkins said in an interview with French magazine Premiere.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The director, who was once attached to helm Marvel's 'Thor: The Dark World', said she doesn't see herself working with the studio because of the way they function.</p>

<p>"I really like the people who work (at Marvel Studios), but they want full control over their movies. The director is under control. Yes, it can happen. Furthermore, It shows immediately if a director cannot impose his/her vision. When this is the case, I get the impression that these people are doing a different job than me," Jenkins said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, things were different in case of Warner Bros' upcoming 'Wonder Woman' sequel.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"With Wonder Woman 1984, I think I did exactly what I wanted. And then, everything a superhero movie needs comes naturally to me: I love shooting great action scenes versus great sets. I really enjoy it."</p>

The Warner Bros. film was to hit the theatres in June but due to the ongoing coronavirus scare and lockdowns all over the world, they have decided to now push the film until August 14. “When we greenlit Wonder Woman 1984, it was with every intention to be viewed on the big screen and we are excited to announce that Warner Bros. Pictures will be bringing the film to theaters on Aug. 14,” Toby Emmerich, Warner Bros.’ chair, said in a statement. “We hope the world will be in a safer and healthier place by then.” ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ is a sequel to the hit 2017 DC Comics movie.

Where we can share the power of cinema together again.” View this post on Instagram In these dark and scary times, I am looking forward to a brighter future ahead.

'Wonder Woman 1984' postponed until August 14

<p>The first trailer of 'Wonder Woman 1984' is here and it is just how we had expected it to be- mindblowing! Gal Gadot reprises the role of Diana Prince, who in the new movie rekindles with an old love and has a face off with two new enemies.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The trailer was unveiled by the film's director Patty Jenkins at &nbsp;Comic Con Experience (CCXP) in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Sunday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The second film in the hit franchise picks up almost 70 years after the original film. The trailer shows Wonder Woman living a lonely life in 1984, where she has lost friends and her love but continues to do her duty and protect the world. It also introduces a new character- Cheetah who has been part of the comic series. Actress&nbsp;Kristen Wiig will be seen essaying Cheetah in the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Things change soon after, as the trailer indicates, as Diana is not only reunited with old love but also has to step up and fight evil forces.&nbsp;</p>

Inspired by the DC comic book heroine created by William Moulton Marston in the 1940s Wonder Woman made her big-screen debut in 2016's 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice', followed by 2017's 'Justice League'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The two films failed to create any impact at the box office, so when Jenkins took on 'Wonder Woman's' origin story in 2017, it was a conscious decision to move away from the grim humorlessness and dark sensibility of those earlier films, bringing a brighter energy and wit to her tale, along with the usual action. And the decision literally paid off as 'Wonder Woman' went on to gross $821 million worldwide, and earned critical raves, making it the most successful DC film so far.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Earlier, Gadot had tweeted the teaser of the film on Saturday. In June, the poster of the film was unveiled by the makers. The poster featured Gadot as the fierce Amazon warrior Diana Prince, decked up in a golden body armour standing against a neon-hued backdrop.`Wonder Woman 1984` is scheduled to hit the theatres on June 5, 2020.</p>
