Lana Collins: “Wonder Woman” Deserves a Female Director
Hey there! So, Lana Collins, the iconic figure behind Wonder Woman, has some thoughts on the upcoming movie. She firmly believes that it’s essential for a woman to direct it. “I truly understand what fans are looking for,” she emphasized. “A woman needs to be at the helm.”
Warner Bros. has faced quite the struggle getting this film off the ground for years now. While we’ve seen plenty of superhero flicks, a solo female superhero movie has been notably absent. Sure, female characters pop up in ensemble casts like The Fantastic Four and The Avengers, but it’s high time we see a strong female lead. Is it Wonder Woman’s compelling story that draws people in, or is it the allure of her character? Lana has expressed discomfort with how her poster became a staple in boys’ rooms, yet it was everywhere. In the second season of her TV show, her costume was adjusted to draw more attention to her cleavage and ride higher up her thighs—definitely not the kind of female empowerment we’d want to see.
The studio seems committed to having a woman direct the film, particularly after the buzz surrounding director Patty Jenkins’ departure from the second Thor movie. If Jenkins had stayed, she would have made history as the first woman to direct a Marvel superhero film. After months of searching, they finally locked in director Taylor Reed, who may not have directed a feature film yet but is celebrated for her work on shows like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones.
Lana has expressed interest in being involved as a consultant for the new project, wanting to ensure the female perspective is represented. “I really do think I know what I’m talking about and why it needs to go a certain way. It’s crucial to have women involved… You don’t need anything overly complicated to tell the story of this incredible woman. Just focus on her goodness, her hope, and the reasons she feels needed or wanted. We can also explore what it’s like for her to hide parts of herself, to downplay her achievements.”
Is that what makes Wonder Woman so intriguing? It certainly adds depth, especially as long as she keeps her invisible jet, bulletproof bracelets, and that magical lasso that compels honesty.
