Wonder Woman (film)

## Snyderverse

*"I used to want to save the world. To end war and bring peace to mankind. But then I glimpsed the darkness that lives within their light. I learned that inside every one of them, there will always be both. The choice each must make for themselves, something no hero will ever defeat. And now I know that only love can truly save the world. So now I stay, I fight, and I give for the world I know can be. This is my mission now. Forever."*
―Wonder Woman**[src]**

## Production

Shortly after her casting as Wonder Woman in *Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice* was announced, Gal Gadot stated she had a three-film contract with Warner Bros. which also included *Justice League* and a solo Wonder Woman film. Sue Kroll, Warner Brothers president of worldwide marketing suggested that if this portrayal is well received, we may see Wonder Woman get her film. “That is our hope,” Kroll told the WSJ. “With the right script, that could be viable. The world is ready for her.”

Former Wonder Woman actress Lynda Carter has stated she would cameo in the film. Warner specifically sought a female director to helm the film, reportedly shortlisting filmmakers Lexi Alexander, Kathryn Bigelow, Mimi Leder, Michelle MacLaren and Catherine Hardwicke. Michelle MacLaren was hired but left the project citing "creative differences". She was quickly replaced by Patty Jenkins. It was announced that the film would be known during production under the title *Nightingale*.

It was confirmed from an article in a French magazine that Ares, the god of war, would be the main villain of the film.

## Epilogue: Etta's Mission

In the Blu-ray release of *Wonder Woman*, a bonus short film, entitled *Etta's Mission*, is included. It focuses on Etta Candy who is given a secret mission that could impact humanity's future.
