The director

After much debate and many rumors (including one that said that Angelina Jolie Pitt would direct Wonder Woman), Patty Jenkins was hired for this role. The director doesn't have too many credits to her name. As a matter of fact, she directed just a single big screen film, in 2003. However, Monster (starring Charlize Theron) received critical acclaim and secured an Academy Award for its main star.

This isn't all, though. By directing Wonder Woman, Patty Jenkins is also the first female director to helm a tent pole film with a budget bigger than $100 million. So this is yet again a first for Warner Bros. and the DCEU.

Of course, to be noted, Patty Jenkins could have done that earlier, had she signed to direct Thor: The Dark World. But maybe it is for the better this way "“ the trailer for Wonder Woman looks more than amazing.
