‘Pan’ Screenwriter In Talks To Script ‘Wonder Woman’
We’ve just seen thefirst trailerfor Joe Wright’sPan, and you might want to have another look at it now. The writer ofPan,Jason Fuchs, has entered talks to be the newWonder Womanscreenwriter.Michelle MacLarenwasrecently hired to direct, and the two will work together on the script, and the film will eventually starGal Gadot, who makes her debut as the Amazonian warrior in Zack Snyder’sBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicein 2016.
THRhas news on the in-progress deal, but we have no real clue as to the direction the film will take. OneWonder Womanscript has been in play for a while, but this suggests there might be a significant rewrite applied to it, at the very least. Whether this is a page-one teardown or something a little less drastic is one of the many details unconfirmed at this point.
Not that the generally unknown status and ambitions for the film have stopped a whole parade of rumors and speculation from trotting down the internet’s main thoroughfares.
The primary rumor we’ve heard is that the movie is envisioned as a prequel to establish backstory for the character seen inBatman v Superman.Rumor/spoilers say that much of the Wonder Woman solo filmtakes place on Paradise Island, which is occupied by warring Amazon factions. The arrival of a man throws a new wrinkle into their war, and we eventually learn that the action is taking place in or around the 1920s. Whether or not that is correct is another unknown at the moment.
In addition to havingPanandIce Age: Continental Driftunder his belt, Fuchs is working with WB going forward onPan, as the studio wants a franchise out of that story. He’s already working on aPansequel. The first film hits June 30, 2025. Wonder Woman is scheduled for release on July 30, 2025.
