Wonder Woman Has a Good Approach to Dealing with Issues

Patty Jenkins' upcoming film has a lot riding on its back. For one thing, it has already been compared with Marvel solo movie Captain America: The First Avenger, which, from our point of view was among the better told and presented story in the MCU.

Another reason is that Wonder Woman has a lot of values and issues that it wants to push to the audience. Now this is where the movie pushes it even more. The New York Times talked to actress Gal Gadot and Jenkins, discussing some of the areas and challenges that they've encountered in the movie.

For Gadot, it had been how feminism was presented in the movie that fits the image of the heroine, Diana Prince:

"Feminism is about equality and choice and freedom. And the writers, Patty and myself all figured that the best way to show that is to show Diana as having no awareness of social roles. She has no gender boundaries. To her, everyone is equal."

This very sentiment was exhibited by Jenkins herself. A lot had been riding on her project—and she had been among the first female directors in any the recent superhero movies, who was tasked to bring to life a well-loved superhero.

The approach of the production of Wonder Woman, it seems was to look at the movie from the perspective of its main subject. From there, the goal was to offer not only a female superhero to "mix things up"—but rather, to present a strong narrative of a woman who had qualities of a superhero and more.

As Gadot had said, Wonder Woman is a movie that will inspire girl, as well as empower both women and men in the process—which is exactly the kind of superhero they wanted in Wonder Woman.

Wonder Woman will be out in theaters on June 2. It stars Gadot, Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Elena Anaya, and David Thewlis.
