Jenkins says it was her duty to say “being badass” doesn’t mean that Wonder Woman is “not loving, funny, warm, all those things.”
With the film set to make its debut June 2, fans soon enough will be able to see Gadot exercise Wonder Woman’s stances on equality, choice and freedom through Jenkins’ unique vision.
A lifelong fan of the character, Jenkins naturally knows that Wonder Woman is “a badass,” but the director also wants fans to know she has plenty of heart.
And the writers, Patty and myself all figured that the best way to show that is to show Diana as having no awareness of social roles.
