That the DC Extended Universe Wonder Woman solo film would deal with sexism was always a given, simply based on the title character’s longstanding history as a feminist icon.
And so I think it’s a hotbed topic regardless.
Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins added her own two cents to that larger discussion, when the filmmaker was asked about how her own comic book movie adaptation goes about handling issues related to sexism, within the context of younger Diana’s origin story.
I think we’re in this very interesting time where these issues have been around for a long time, but a lot of different people are saying, ‘Actually, not that much has changed for all of us.’
