That said, as Whedon himself explains, his Wonder Woman project was never going to get off the ground if he and the studio were at odds.
However, hopefully all that will change – along with the DCEU’s critic track record – with Jenkins’ Wonder Woman when the film hits theaters this summer.
Certainly, when Wonder Woman arrives in theaters this year, it will be over a decade since the last woman-centric comic book adaptation, 20th Century Fox’s Elektra in 2005.
Hollywood is still a business and studios, for the most part, may not be willing to take a risk on an untested director with a property as large as Wonder Woman.
