‘Justice League’ Spoilers: Find Out More About Wonder Woman’s Role
When Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) made her cameo in Zack Snyder’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” she inevitably stole the show.
Moviegoers adored seeing the Amazonian warrior battle it out alongside Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill), and many even argued that she outshone the movie’s stars.
Now that the DCEU is preparing for the upcoming film “Justice League,” people are wondering: Will Wonder Woman take the spotlight away from her co-stars again?
As far as Gadot is concerned, the answer is no. The Israeli actress said Wonder Woman’s role in the film is to bring all the guys together and have them working as a team.
“Diana serves as the glue of the team. She finds moments to support every one of the team and make them feel stronger or believe in themselves. But this is not a ‘Wonder Woman’ movie,” she told Cinema Blend.
Meanwhile, her co-star Affleck told Entertainment Weekly that their movie is going to be great, even if it was helmed by two different directors — Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon.
“It’s a little bit unorthodox,” he admitted. “Zack had a family tragedy, and stepped off, which was horrible. For the movie, the best person we could’ve possibly found was Joss. We got really lucky that he stepped in.”
As a result, “Justice League” became “an interesting product of two directors, both with kind of unique visions, both with really strong takes.” Personally, Affleck said he has never had that experience before, but he loves working with Snyder and equally loves all the things they did with Whedon.
Snyder said goodbye to “Justice League” so he could prioritise his family after the death of his daughter, Autumn, who committed suicide at the age of 20. He thought diving back to work would help him heal, but he found it difficult.
“In my mind, I thought it was a cathartic thing to go back to work, to just bury myself and see if that was the way through it. The demands of this job are pretty intense. It is all-consuming. And in the last two months, I’ve come to the realization … I’ve decided to take a step back from the movie to be with my family, be with my kids, who really need me. They are all having a hard time. I’m having a hard time,” Snyder told The Hollywood Reporter.
“Justice League” will hit theaters on Nov. 17.
