One more piece of DC and Warner Bros.’ shared movie universe puzzle has fallen into place, with the Wonder Woman movie set for 2017 starring Gal Gadot has reportedly found its director, with sources stating that frontchoice is Michelle MacLaren, who also signed on to develop and direct the film.
Since the solo film was officially announced to follow Gadot’s first appearance in the role in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, rumors have swirled that Warner Bros. was on the search for a female director (hedging their bets in bringing the most iconic female superhero to life on film). With that leaving an admittedly small group to choose from, MacLaren’s name was quickly mentioned as a likely option, given her work behind the camera on acclaimed TV shows like Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad.
According to THR reports that MacLaren has signed on, after being courted by the studio since August. With no screenwriter(s) officially announced , MacLaren will now join those crafting Wonder Woman’s first big screen solo film in the modern age, as well as directing the production.

The only real information that fans have at present comes from producer Charles Roven, who recently explained that in Zack Snyder’s Justice League universe (as well as DC’s New 52 canon), the famous Amazonian princess will be the daughter of Zeus (how the writers intend to work ancient Greek gods into their existing mythology remains to be seen). Presumably, MacLaren will be brought in on exactly what Snyder and WB are preparing for her debut alongside Batman and Superman to better handle the follow-up story (or 1920s/1960s prequel). It looks odd but instead of follow ups, may follow down one may leads the story to different world. Marvel all movies goes in line except caps 1,DC wants to take unique path to explore their superheroes and supervillains.
In most cases, movie fans would be somewhat put off by a studio actively seeking a member of a specific gender for a director’s chair – but Wonder Woman is a truly unique proposition. As the first woman to helm a solo film for Fox, Sony, Marvel or DC in this new world of star-studded shared universes, the pressure to shatter an old-fashioned assumption was always a given. But time is changing and hollywood too, so this is the change which can change the equation of genders in directing field of hollywood.

Luckily, MacLaren’s work and talent make her a strong choice regardless of gender. In fact, she becomes another TV/indie director handed the reins of a blockbuster property alongside Gareth Edwards (Star Wars), Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World), the Russo Brothers (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) and many more.Look's like big screen producer have strated believing that small screen director can also leads big screen to success. MacLaren’s knack for character-driven tension has been proven – but how (or even if) she’ll approach big screen action in Wonder Woman is something fans will have to wait to see for themselves.
Wonder Woman will be in theaters June 23, 2017.
