Wonder Woman Director Was Forced to Change the Movie's Ending
You didn't like the ending of the first Wonder Woman? Well, it was supposed to be a little different, but Patty Jenkins, the film's director, was forced by the studio to change it, which she recently admitted.
Patty Jenkins, director of Wonder Woman 1984, was interviewed by IGN and talked about the upcoming production. We didn't get many tangible facts, but the most interesting thing was what she revealed about the previous film with Diana Prince. It turns out that the last few spectacular scenes of the work were not originally intended by Jenkins:
“The original end of the first movie was also smaller, but the studio made me change it at the last minute. And so, that’s always been a little bit of a bummer that that’s the one thing people talk about, because I agreed, and I told the studio we didn’t have time to do it. But, it was what it was, and I ended up loving it, but that wasn’t the original ending of the movie."
Wonder Woman was appreciated by critics and audiences, although one of the most frequently mentioned flaws in the film was the schematic and uninteresting ending. Now we know that it was forced by the management and it is not an artistic mistake on the part of Patty Jenkins. Did the director get more creative freedom in Wonder Woman 1984 ? We'll find out, although so far the reviews are quite positive. The film is already available in some countries and will premiere in American cinemas and on HBO Max on December 25 2020.
