10 Women Who Could Direct Wonder Woman

9. Tricia Brock

Having made her name as a writer on beloved oddball classic Twin Peaks, Brock has gone on to become one of the most sought after directors in TV. Equally comfortable working on comedy (Community, Suburgatory, 30 Rock), serious dark drama (Breaking Bad, The Killing), and the kind of mix of the two tones that Wonder Woman is likely to be (Veronica Mars, Pushing Daisies, United States of Tara). Many of these shows feature interesting and complex female protagonists, suggesting Brock is capable of handling a film in which Diana Prince comes off as a real person. Arguably her best TV work has come on a run of episodes for The Walking Dead, a series with an impressively cinematic ambition and scale. Her character-driven episode Clear has been regarded as the high point of the show's third season. Her only film work, however, was on 2004 indie music drama Killer Diller, a success on the festival circuit but a very small scale movie compared to Wonder Woman. Nevertheless, rivals Marvel have enjoyed success with hiring primarily TV directors for The Avengers and the sequels to Thor and Captain America. In the current climate of quality TV rivalling film, many film studios are likely to look to top TV directors like Brock.
