WONDER WOMAN 1984 Director Patty Jenkins Addresses Challenges That Come With Adapting The Invisible Jet

Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins has shared some of the challenges she believes comes with bringing something like the Invisible Jet to the big screen as it "[has] to be done in a whole new way!"

2017's Wonder Woman took place during the First World War, and was very much grounded in reality. The lack of some of the sillier ideas from the comic books made sense because of that, but with Wonder Woman 1984 embracing the wackiness of the 1980s, the hope is that will change.

Most comic book fans are dying to see the Invisible Jet in action, despite how crazy a concept that is, and there have been rumors online for well over a year about that being in this sequel somehow.

When Screen Rant asked co-writer and director Patty Jenkins about the Invisible Jet, she refused to share specifics, and would neither confirm nor plans for it to appear in Wonder Woman 1984

"[It would] have to be done in a whole new way. I think that the Invisible Jet is one of those things that is so funny because every single thing that any of these superheroes have is so silly in theory, and then when we talk about it, we talk about it as if nothing is going to be done to update it. I've always said about the Invisible Jet, I'll do it when I can do it in a way that's super cool."

"It's got to be something different than her flying through the sky in an Invisible Jet, which is fine on a page," the filmmaker continued. "Not great in modern [film]."

It's a valid observation, but the Invisible Jet is something Jenkins has clearly given a lot of thought to.

Wayne Inudstries tech. Invisible to radar etc, and has light bending panels on the exterior surfaces. Not totally invisible to the eye, but bends light to camouflage similar to how the Predator films did it. Military are actually working on applications like this so it's not ridiculously far fetched. http://www.hyperstealth.com/Quantum-Stealth/

Maybe a Jet that is not detected in the airspace? Visible in the sky and invisible to radar.

Honestly I don't think it's that silly. Comic adaptations haven't always needed to sky away from the sillier aspects of the genre anyway.

Just make it do one of these decloaking thingamajiggies and let Steve pilot it. They'll only need to fly it once. He flashes back to the last time he flew a plane and yeah uhhhh, he wont want to fly anymore. Satisfy the fanboys and throw in some cool tech for the DCEU

This demonstrates why I believe the first Wonder Woman film was such a failure. The best way to do it is to obviously have a cloaking devise (which Marvel beat them to it with the Heli-carrier). The problem is that nothing we have seen thus far from the first film can fit with future iterations. For example: The first film does not show any technological advancement in Themyscira from the point they were created to World War I...they rode around on horses and shot bows and arrows...now we might be asked to believe that she has this super advanced invisible plane.




This shows why they should have grounded Wonder Woman a lot better in the first film to make the story more relatable to the real world.

I think this film is going to fail!

@Forthas - They could just have it be Wayne tech. I'm sure the batplane or whatever they would call it in this universe would have similar cloaking technology.

@Mancini316 - ...so then does that mean that Batman now has cloaking abilities? It would make no sense for him to have this ability and share it with someone else and not use it himself. That is basically a new superpower...further proving how bad the set up to this universe was handled.

@Forthas - From what I recall from the newer comics is that it is something magical that can morph into whatever object is needed, along the lines of Young Justice's Miss Martian vehicle that can morph from say an RV to spaceship.

@Mankzin2 - That is the kind of comic book wackiness I would rather not see!

A mystical God like cloaking, and she is also invisible while in the jet. That or nothing. IMO.

As long as the people inside are also cloaked, I don't think it's that difficult to depict without it being silly.

well, maybe something like they did in Tron - Legacy, but in reverse? so when it's invisible, you just leave small part of a translucent wire frame
