Wonder Woman: 21 New Details & Secrets Just Revealed

6. It's Not JUST A "Woman's Film"

Roven says that the time period also affords an opportunity to explore a particularly interesting time for women:

"To come in to Man’s World and face off against him. It also happens that you have lots of different opportunities for social commentary - like when you see her in London - for women’s roles during the time."

But it's not going to be a heavyweight feminist political film

"You don’t have to hit anyone over the head with it.”

Patty Jenkins had similar things to say about the role of feminism in the film's make-up:

"Of course it’s a bummer that we’re going to be a “woman’s film”, but on the other hand, it’s important to talk about because I think a lot of time those movies haven’t been. It’s like those articles where movies directed by women win more Oscars, but women directors never get nominated for Oscars. It’s important to acknowledge, yet making the film it’s important to tune out. I don’t think about it at all."

She said more on the same front to DenOfGeek:

"You know I grew up in a bit of a feminist fantasy with a single mom, and was totally shielded in a way from the idea that I couldn’t do something or that there couldn’t be something. So I think it’s been more of an education for me. Why can’t everyone see that it doesn’t matter if it’s a dog or a woman, or a person from another country or wherever, it’s about the story you’re telling."

But of course it's still an important moment in feminist film-making. Gal Gadot meanwhile says that the existence of the movie is a great thing for young girls, as it will give them - and her own daughter - figures to look up like boys had with Superman, Batman and Spider-Man.
