It must really a bummer that everything Zack Snyder tried to establish for the DC Films universe with “Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice” is being left behind. Executive Geoff Johns is pivoting away from the gritty, serious tone of the film, Ben Affleck might be bailing on his role as Batman, and now Gal Gadot reveals that when it was time to make “Wonder Woman,” the filmmakers essentially ditched Snyder’s approach to the character.
Currently doing the press rounds for “Justice League,” the actress reveals how they completely turned around Diana’s worldview for her solo movie.
“None of us knew exactly, exactly, the back story of Wonder Woman. And once they decided to shoot the solo movie for Wonder Woman and we started to dig in to understand the core of this character, we realized that, actually, there is no way that Wonder Woman would ever give up on mankind,” Gadot explained.
“The reason why she left the island was because she wanted to make their lives better and safer—they are her calling. So, I’m giving you a very honest answer, but it was—sometimes in a creative process, you establish something that is not necessarily the right decision, but then you can always correct it and change it. So Wonder Woman will always be there, as far as she’s concerned, for mankind,” she added.
It sounds like the changes are part of the decided shift toward “hope and optimism” that Johns promised for the brand following ‘Batman v Superman.’
We’ll see how else the world of DC changes when “Justice League” lands on November 17th. [via Comic Book]
