Earlier this week, Warner Bros. confirmed that they will be showcasing their highly-anticipatedWonder WomanatComic-Conduring their Hall H presentation on Saturday, July 23, which will also featureSuicide Squad,The LEGO Batman Movie,King Arthur: Legend of the Sword,Kong: Skull IslandandFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. While we don’t know for sure, it’s possible that the studio could unveil the first trailer forWonder Woman. While we get ready for the convention, four new photos have surfaced featuringGal GadotandChris Pine.
The photos come courtesy ofEntertainment Weekly, who also got to speak withGal Gadotabout returning asWonder Woman, after making her debut inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. BeforePatty Jenkinswas brought on to direct this superhero adventure, the studio was consideringBreaking BaddirectorMichelle MacLaren. When asked why she thought it was important for a woman to direct this movie,Gal Gadothad this to say.
“I think it’s important. It’s a story about a girl becoming a woman. I think only a woman, who has been a girl, can be able to tell the story in the right way. All my life I’ve been working with male directors which I’ve really enjoyed. And I’m lucky in that I’ve worked with men who have a lot of respect for women. But working with a woman is a different experience. It feels like the communication is different. We talk about emotions. WithPatty Jenkins, it’s a thing now, we communicate with our eyes. She doesn’t need to say a thing. If I’m hurt, she feels the pain. It’s a whole different connection that I have with her. She’s also brilliant, she’s bright, she’s fierce, she’s sharp. She knows exactly what she wants Wonder Woman to be. For a long time, people didn’t know how to approach the story. When Patty and I had our creative conversations about the character, we realized that Diana can still be a normal woman, one with very high values, but still a woman. She can be sensitive. She is smart and independent and emotional. She can be confused. She can lose her confidence. She can have confidence. She is everything. She has a human heart.”
Wonder Womanhits movie theaters around the world next summer whenGal Gadotreturns as the title character in the epic action adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of theAmazons, 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. When asked about how big the responsibility of playingWonder Womantruly is, the actress had this to say, sharing a story about her young daughter.
“It is a big responsibility. We knew we wanted to tell a story that would inspire people: women, men, boys, and girls. And we didn’t want to just show a generic story of a superhero coming of age. We wanted her to be full and whole. This is the first time we are telling this story and I feel like for so many boys, they have great role models to work with. They have Superman and Batman and Spiderman and the list goes on and on. And they are strong and almighty and they are positive and active and proactive. For girls, I just had a conversation with my daughter, Alma, and she was saying something about the prince she saw in Sleeping Beauty and she was saying he’s brave and he’s strong. And I said what about the princess and she said, she’s weak. And I said, what do you think of that. And she’s 4, my daughter. And she said, she shouldn’t be weak. And I said why do you think she’s weak, and she said, she’s sleeping the entire movie and the prince comes and kisses her and saves her. She didn’t do anything. I feel that I’ve got the opportunity to set a great role model for girls to look up to a strong, active, compassionate, loving, positive woman and I think it’s so important. It’s about time that somebody will do that and I’m very privileged and honored to be the one.”
