Michelle MacLaren Is Top Choice To Chart "Wonder Woman"

She was on the shortlist of potentials, and now The Wrap reports that Michelle MacLaren has entered official talks to direct Warner Bros/DC Entertainment's "Wonder Woman" solo movie.

MacLaren has helmed episodes of "Breaking Bad" "The Walking Dead" "The Leftovers" and "Hell on Wheels". MacLaren is seemingly ahead of two new names to the shortlist that haven't been mentioned before - "Homeland" co-executive producer Lesli Linka Glatter and " The Babadook" helmer Jennifer Kent.

Names like  Kathryn Bigelow ("Zero Dark Thirty"), Catherine Hardwicke ("Twilight"), Mimi Leder ("Deep Impact"), Karyn Kusama ("Aeon Flux") Julie Taymor ("Across the Universe") and  Tricia Brock ("The Walking Dead") were on the list.

"Fast Five" star Gal Gadot's playing Wonder Woman in the pic.

Bleeding Cool suggests that pic will be set in the 1920s, making it a prequel to Zack Snyder's upcoming superhero team-up film called "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. They add that the sequel to this film would be set during World War II and that she wouldn’t reunite with the Justice League until a third movie.

Charles Roven is producing the film that is slated for a June 23rd 2017 release.
