In an interview with Collider, Connie Nielsen, who plays Hippolyta in the DCEU, revealed that the original plan had been to incorporate the mass rape event into the Amazon’s backstory in 2017’s Wonder Woman until director Patty Jenkins stepped in.
One of the biggest examples of this phenomenon involves Princess Diana aka Wonder Woman, and Themyscira, the island of Amazons she calls her home.
We will soon be getting a deeper look at the history of the Amazons with a Wonder Woman spinoff movie that Jenkins is currently developing, which will see Nielsen returning as Hippolyta.
This distrust of men was also the main reason why she was so dead set against sending her daughter out into the world as Wonder Woman.
