This one has been a bit of a merry-go-round for Warner Bros and DC comics. 

A couple of days ago, experienced TV director and producer Michelle MacLaren (Breaking Bad) pulled out of directing the film, with that old chestnut 'creative differences' cited. Now, it's been announced that Patty Jenkins, who previously directed Charlize Theron to her Oscar for Monster, will take the helm. Interestingly, Jenkins was slated to direct Thor 2 for Marvel, but moved on when again, creative differences over the direction of the project apparently took place.  

Jenkins has worked predominately in TV since helming Monster, stepping behind the camera for episodes of The Killing and Entourage. 

Gal Gadot will play Wonder Woman, who will first appear in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice next summer before the Wonder Woman release in 2017.
