Patty Jenkins will direct Warner Bros.’ DC comic book adaptation “Wonder Woman,” an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
The new hire comes days after the studio parted ways with Michelle MacLaren, who had previously been set to direct the film, over creative differences.
Gal Gadot is set to star in the comic book movie. Her character will be introduced in next year’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” The solo “Wonder Woman” movie is slated to hit theaters in 2017.
“Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe,” said “Batman v Superman” director Zack Snyder at the time of Gadot’s casting.
