Some women-only screenings planned for ‘Wonder Woman’
Gadot spoke with Cinema Blend about her experiences playing Wonder Woman in all three DCEU films she’s done.
Cast member Gal Gadot poses at the premiere of “Wonder Woman” in Los Angeles, California U.S., May 25, 2017.
Embroidery glistened on the sleeveless dress near her hips, as well as over the strip of fabric stretching just below her neck, and over her shoulders.
But if some men objected, others embraced the move as within the spirit of the film, which is the first superhero outing with a female director – Patty Jenkins – and title character.
A theater chain will host women-only showings for the upcoming “Wonder Woman” film, and some men aren’t happy about it. When I saw her at the AOL Build for the film, she brought it up then too.
Connie Nelson plays Queen Hippolyta of Themyscira, who also happens to be Diana’s mother, and Robin Wright features as Hippolyta’s sister General Antiope. Gadot is starring in the movie version, which debuts nationally on June 2. Jenkins says that this won’t be the case for “Wonder Woman”.
The theater, for its part, isn’t backing down, not only trolling angry commenters, but adding a second screening of the event in response (which, like the first, sold out). Compared to the nigh-invincible princess of Themyscira, Steve Trevor, the American spy who is also Wonder Woman’s love interest in the comics, is a mere human with no superpowers. Studios replicas of the Godkiller sword and Wonder Woman’s shield, each with a certificate of authenticity.
What better way to celebrate DC’s biggest superheroine finally getting her own movie? But the most unbelievable part of this Uproxx interview was Patty getting to talk about being the one who got to make Wonder Woman. In a 2016 interview with Variety, Carter explained why she believes Wonder Woman is so enduring. Not only are there plans in place for a sequel to the movie even before it is released, but there are any number of other female superhero movies that will be coming in the near future, both from DC and Marvel.
