Two More Female Directors In The Running For WONDER WOMAN Named

Two More Female Directors In The Running For WONDER WOMAN Named

So, we know that Michelle MacLaren is the frontrunner for the job, but the names of two more candidates who have met with the studio have now been revealed. However, it sounds like they may have possible met with Warner Bros. for something other than Wonder Woman...

The Hollywood Reporter have now added to their earlier report about Michelle MacLaren being the frontrunner to helm Wonder Woman by revealing two other directors who have met with Warner Bros. According to the site, they've also been talking to Lesli Linka Glatter, a director and co-executive producer on Homeland, and Jennifer Kent, the director of the well-received horror movie The Babadook. Both of those obviously have strong female leads, but they add that these meetings may not have been for Wonder Woman, pointing out that the studio "is not married to the idea of a female director." Could it be that one of these women will end up helming another major DC Comics project? Remember, MacLaren (who apparently first met with the studio back in August) hasn't signed up to direct just yet, so we're going to have to wait and see! Thoughts?

@oNosferatuZodd Homeland is one of the best-reviewed television shows on currently, and The Babadook was met with extreme critical praise; it has a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. I think you might wanna reevaluate those statements.

The Babadook has a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes as one the highest rated horror movies of all time. That does not constitute an "extreme shit" director. Do your research next time before you post.

i hope it doesnt, seems they went with people they knew for ages for the script and i think thats a bad idea, you need a new blossoming writer for this, not the same guys from 48 other films that wont ever reach more than 7 out of 10. Lets see what happens then. Im worried sick for DC but BVS is looking freaking incredible, lets hope it delivers on the hype and more, and then well have many great arguments in the comment section

He's not going to have time but I think Ang Lee could do it

I'd love one of them to directing The Flash or Aquaman. Cool beans regardless.
