Director Patty Jenkins Shares Final Wonder Woman Poster

With the film now out in UK cinemas, director Patty Jenkins shared the final Wonder Woman poster on Twitter, and it looks incredible. Wonder Woman is Jenkins’ first movie since the Oscar-winning Monster back in 2003, so she was certainly entitled to a comeback.

Gal Gadot stars as the titular immortal Amazonian warrior in the Warner Brothers. film, with Chris Pine appearing as United States Army Air Service captain Steve Trevor, and Danny Huston playing the villainous General Erich Ludendorff. While David Thewlis as the film’s primary antagonist, Ares, the god of war.

It should also be noted that Wonder Woman had a production budget of $120 million, which is considerably lower than the budgets of most of the other DC Extended Universe movies released so far, which should make it much easier for the film to break even at the box office. Which makes a direct sequel all the more likely after Gadot reprises the role of Diana Prince in the upcoming Justice League.

Wonder Woman is also fantastic. It’s also being called the best DC Extended Universe film to date, although to be frank, that’s not saying much given its three predecessors. On the other hand, people are also calling Wonder Woman the best female-driven superhero film ever made, although when you consider that its predecessors included Catwoman and Elektra, that’s really not saying much either. Either way, Wonder Woman really does look like a brilliant film, so all I can do is tell you to do is go and see it.

Although it’s great that we’re finally seeing more female-driven blockbuster films, not everyone has reacted to the news in the right way. The once respected Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Texas ran into a spot of controversy for announcing that they would be holding a women-only screening of Wonder Woman. I’m all for equality, and I am firmly of the belief that everyone is equal regardless of gender, sexuality, skin colour, ethnicity, etc, so let me be super clear: barring one particular group of people from attending an event is discrimination. Plain and simple. I would say the same thing for a men-only screening, and I wish that some of these so-called feminists who also claim to respect equality would actually practice what they preach.

That aside, I am truly glad that we’re finally getting a female-driven superhero movie in this day and age where studios churn out movies with male leads on an almost daily basis. And honestly, shame on Marvel and Disney for not having made a single Marvel Cinematic Universe film with a female protagonist. I mean Jesus Christ, the MCU turns a decade old next year, and all of the films in the franchise have featured male protagonists. We will have to wait until Captain Marvel arrives in 2019 for the MCU to fully embrace diversity.

Either way, Wonder Woman is out now in the UK.
