She was said to be the frontrunner for the gig, and now it has been confirmed that Michelle MacLaren will direct Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in the big budget blockbuster.

The film will be released after Batman v Superman and the impending Justice Squad flick at some point in 2017, and remain part of that DC universe. Warner Bros have seen how profitable that kind of scenario has been for Marvel and Disney and are using their big comic names to explore it. 

MacLaren's background is predominately television, but superb television; she Executive Produced and directed numerous episodes of Breaking Bad and has also stepped behind the camera for The Walking Dead, The Leftovers and Game of Thrones for HBO.

Batman v Superman won't see the light of day until 2016 and by then we should have more of an idea of the direction the studio are going in.
