A Joss Whedon first attempt at directing a superhero movie
Way before the two very successful Avengers movies, Joss Whedon was interested in another superhero, from the other side of the superhero universe. Hired by producer Joel Silver, Joss Whedon (who already had an excellent track at bringing badass heroines to life) was supposed to helm the first ever Wonder Woman movie.
According to the director, he never actually wrote the full script for the movie, although he did outline the essentials: a traditional origin for the character, a crash-landing of Steve Trevor on the Amazonian island, his coming back into the world accompanied by DC’s most well-known superheroine.
Joss Whedon didn’t complete the script for one reason only: he soon realized that he and the studio execs were not at all on the same page. Those people must now realize what huge mistake they have made.
