DC’s Standalone “Wonder Woman” Movie Already Lands New Director

Michelle MacLaren, who has directed episodes for Breaking Bad and even Game of Thrones, left DC’s Wonder Woman feature on Monday, citing “creative differences,” a reason that could mean almost anything.

Now, just three days later, director Patty Jenkins has signed on to take over.

Patty Jenkins.

Jenkins was initially attached to Thor: The Dark World, but that ultimately fell through (not without controversy, as well). Jenkins first gained fame in 2003 when she wrote and directed the award-winning Monster, starring Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci. Jenkins has also worked on Entourage and Arrested Development.

Gal Gadot is still attached to star and a 2017 release remains intact.
