Wonder Woman exceeded expectations in every respect earlier this year but not everyone is a fan of the DC Comics adaptation. One of its most outspoken critics has been Avatar director James Cameron and now Patty Jenkins has once again responded to his misogynistic remarks about Gal Gadot's Diana Prince. "I actually was not upset at all," she tells Variety. "Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. But if you’re going to debate something in a public way, I have to reply that I think it’s incorrect."
As for whether or not she got an apology from Cameron, she says; "No." Regardless of his thoughts, Jenkins is making history with her pay day for Wonder Woman 2 as she's set to receive somewhere between $7 million to $9 million, a record salary for a female director. "You’re of course aware of the money," she says before adding: "But I’ve never been more aware of a duty than I was in this deal. I was extremely aware that I had to make sure I was being paid what the male equivalent would be."
Gadot also weighs on on Jenkins' pay rise and clearly views the deal as a way of breaking down barriers for women. "She is definitely paving the way for so many other female directors. I think it was very important that she fought to get the best deal. You got to walk the walk and talk the talk."
As for the Wonder Woman sequel, Jenkins said she envisioned it while making the first movie and is still working on the treatment with Geoff Johns. "I think she has a really clear and fun and compelling place that she’s taking the story," says Warner Bros. Pictures Group chief Toby Emmerich. What that will be remains to be seen but it will be exciting to find out? What do you guys think? Sound off below.
