Filmmaker Patty Jenkins’ latest movie Wonder Woman 1984 has finally been released online and in theaters.
This is not the first time Patty Jenkins has praised the superhero movies of other directors, particularly Donner, and she has often cited Christopher Reeve’s Superman as a direct inspiration for her take on Wonder Woman.
Directed and co-written by Patty Jenkins, Wonder Woman 1984 features a lead cast comprising of Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, and Natasha Rothwell.
While Jenkins is happy to talk about previous superhero movies that inspired Wonder Woman 1984, her new film also takes some daring departures from traditions within the genre, as the filmmaker recently revealed how the ending of Wonder Woman 1984 upends fan expectations.
