1. Wonder Woman
The Past: Wonder Woman has never graced the big screen, but was the subject of a popular TV series in the 70s where Lynda Carter played the character. Wonder Woman has been in development hell for years, with Joss Whedon even at one point attached to a solo film, but left due to creative differences.
Why She’s So Hard to Get Right: Lets face it: female super heroes have never had a great track record on the big screen, at least when it comes to carrying a solo adventure. Elektra and Catwoman, anyone? That’s not to say its right, but it’s a harsh reality that Hollywood is scared to give a female super hero the keys to her own film. Even Marvel, the leading studio in super hero ass-kicking these days, has yet to put out a female driven film, with even Black Widow playing second fiddle to Captain America in The Winter Soldier (the closest we’ll probably get to a Black Widow movie for some time).
Not to mention Wonder Woman isn’t just any female super hero. She’s THE female super hero. If she’s not adapted right, it will be hard for any studio to gamble on any women leading a super hero film. Again, it’s not right, but it’s a cold truth. Modern feminism has ushered in a new generation of women empowerment, and a Wonder Woman film has to embody that to an extent, or it’s a no-go.
The Future: Wonder Woman will be played by Gal Gadot in, you guessed it, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which will set up a solo movie for the heroine, finally. After Michele MacLaren left as director, Patty Jenkins could you replace this link with a link to our own story? http://thecelebritycafe.com/feature/2015/04/patty-jenkins-steps-direct-wonder-woman was quickly nabbed to take on the Amazonian princess.
