BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE and SUICIDE SQUAD were both financial success in 2016, but fell short of the kind of critical success that usually follows those numbers. While those films most certainly created a burgeoning fanbase of the DCEU, it has also created detractors. With a full slate of films ahead of them, the pressure is certainly on to deliver future films that are able to generate a bigger wave of accolades to accompany the box office receipts. In short, WB has heard the complaints (and the compliments) and is full steam ahead and shaping up their next comic book endeavors to fit all comers.
And, perhaps no film on their roster is more in need of positive attention than WONDER WOMAN, the first big-budget, live-action film featuring the famed Amazon Goddess, member of The DC Trinity, and one of the most well-known comic book icons in history, having just celebrated her 75th Anniversary last year. Our first introduction to the big-screen version of Wonder Woman came in the form of Gal Gadot in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, having one of the most heroic moments of the entire film and leaving everyone hungry for more. The announcement that they were making her first solo outing with MONSTER director Patty Jenkins was a welcome surprise and filled fans with both hope and dread, depending on their reaction to both BVS and SUICIDE SQUAD.
Since then, we’ve seen Gal’s WONDER WOMAN pop-up in promo’s for the solo film, as well as for Zack Snyder’s JUSTICE LEAGUE, which hits this November. The reception for those has been mostly positive with some genuine excitement in seeing all of those characters come to life on the big screen, but with some apprehension lingering.
So, in an effort to share more about WONDER WOMAN and what audiences can expect in terms of characters, setting, action, tone, and story, the studio invited us to visit the edit bay in London to get a glimpse at a few scenes and talk to the director, Patty Jenkins, about her approach to the film as well as her many insights and goals in delivering the final product.
Before checking out the scenes, we were given an extensive breakdown of the overall story from Production Liason Anna Obrupta, which focused mainly on the first third of the film, from the very origin of Diana and her family on Themyscira to her eventually leaving with Steve Trevor to London during WWI on a mission to save mankind and the Amazons. With that, here’s a breakdown of the overall story with some key details to keep in mind before jumping into the scene descriptions and our chat with Patty Jenkins.
