'Wonder Woman' Movie: Production Moves Forward As Superhero Movie Lands Another Important Piece

The Wonder Woman movie already has its lead in Gal Gadot and a high-profile television veteran for a director, and now the superhero film has another major piece in place.

Jason Fuchs, the writer responsible for the Warner Bros. movie Pan, is reportedly in negotiations to write the screenplay for the upcoming Wonder Woman movie.

Fuchs appears to be the final piece needed to move forward on the movie, part of the Warner Bros. series based on DC Entertainment characters. Gal Gadot has been in place for months as Wonder Woman, and Michelle MacLaren has been picked as its director. MacLaren was behind some of the most popular episodes of Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones.

Fuchs will reportedly be working with MacLaren on screenplay drafts.

Though Warner Bros. has not commented on the content of Wonder Woman, I Am Rogue shed some light on what is likely to be involved.

"Exactly what the story consists of is a mystery, but a recent rumor asserted that 'Wonder Woman' takes place largely on Paradise Island. About halfway through in this rumored version, Diana of Themyscira leaves the Amazonian island to explore the world of men, at which it's revealed that 'Wonder Woman' takes place in the 1920s, allowing Diana to witness in the women's suffrage movement.

"A sequel would then move the action to WWII and a third entry would finally bring Diana into the modern day.

"Of course, audiences will meet Wonder Woman in a contemporary setting. She's a big part of 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,' which introduces Gal Gadot as Diana in March 2016. Then she'll participate in WB's 'Justice League' movies."

Gal Gadot has been in some intense preparations for her work as Wonder Woman. This summer, she talked about her strict regimen to prepare for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice:

"It's the physical preparations that I'm starting now," she said. "A very serious training regime — Kung Fu, kickboxing, swords, jujutsu, Brazilian... 1,000 and one things... I'll gain body mass."

With its major pieces in place, Wonder Woman is now moving full speed ahead and set to hit theaters on June 23, 2017.

A Wonder Woman movie set in the early 20th century? It's an interesting rumour, but the issue I have with it is could mean that Wonder Woman announced her presence to the entire world long before Superman did. This would mean a retcon of what was established in Man of Steel because it was made very clear that people like Kal-El weren't known to exist before Zod's attack on Earth. Of course, another possibility is that Wonder Woman fought under a covert identity and the world didn't know about her. 

Nonetheless, I'm not too concerned about the rumours right now. A while ago, I said that WB wouldn't have the vision to look for other directors and writers to develop their DC based movies, but now I'm happy to say that I'm wrong. With a new director doing Suicide Squad, a new creative team behind Wonder Woman, and Chris Terrio writing Justice League (which hopefully it means the BvS script will knock it out of the park), it looks like the days of Nolan and Goyer are long behind us. Thank god.
