Wonder Woman Director Kevin Macdonald Drops Out In Shock Move
Director Kevin Macdonald has exited the Wonder Woman franchise, leaving fans in shock.
The news comes as a surprise to many, as Macdonald was originally set to direct the third installment of the popular superhero franchise. No reason has been given for his departure, but sources close to the production say that creative differences may have played a role.
Macdonald's departure is a major blow to the Wonder Woman franchise.
He is a highly respected director with a proven track record of success, and his departure will undoubtedly cast a shadow over the upcoming film. With production scheduled to begin later this year, it is unclear who will replace Macdonald as director.
Gal Gadot, who plays Wonder Woman, has expressed her disappointment at Macdonald's departure.
“I am very sad to see Kevin go,” she said in a statement. “He is a brilliant director and I was really looking forward to working with him on Wonder Woman 3.”
Despite the setback, Warner Bros. is said to be committed to the Wonder Woman franchise.
The studio is reportedly already in talks with several other directors to replace Macdonald, and production is expected to begin as scheduled.
The Wonder Woman franchise has been a huge success for Warner Bros., grossing over $1 billion worldwide.
The first film, released in 2017, was a critical and commercial success, and the sequel, Wonder Woman 1984, was also well-received. The third film is expected to be released in 2023.
