James Cameron doubles down on 'Wonder Woman': 'Thatâs not breaking ground'
James Cameron
Legendary director James Cameron  is standing by  his  comments about the hit film "Wonder Woman " adding that  he  doesn't think the way actress Gal Gadot portrayed the superhero is "breaking ground."
"Iâll stand by that ... She was wearing a kind of bustier costume that was very form-fitting "  he  told the Hollywood Reporter. "Sheâs absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. To me  thatâs not breaking ground. They had Raquel Welch doing stuff like that in the â60s."
 Cameron 's comments echo  his  remarks to The Guardian last month when  he  said Gadot's "Wonder Woman" was "an objectified icon."
In contrast   he  said  he  believes the character of the heroine  Sarah Connor   he  helped to create in the original "Terminator" franchise was more modern and unique.
"It was all in a context of talking about why Sarah Connor â what [actress Linda Hamilton] created in 1991 â was  if not ahead of its time  at least a breakthrough in its time "  he  added in the new interview with the Hollywood Reporter. "I donât think it was really ahead of its time because weâre still not [giving women these types of roles]."
"Wonder Woman" director Patty Jenkins fired back on social media in August after the original slight from the "Titanic" director  saying  "James Cameron's inability to understand what 'Wonder Woman' is  or stands for  to women all over the world is unsurprising as  though he is a great filmmaker  he is not a woman. I believe women can and should be EVERYTHING just like male lead characters should be."
