As Marvel Studios revealed their “Phase 3” movies in response
to Warner Brothers’ slate of DC movies, a lot of attention has been spent on
the Wonder Woman movie starring Gal Gadot. Most notably, a lot of people are
saying that the Amazonian heroine's big screen debut should be directed by a
woman.
Sorry but I think that kind of thinking is a mistake. Yes, I
know Wonder Woman is supposed to be a big female empowerment icon in the West
but I honestly don’t care if the director is male or female and I don’t think I’m
alone. Fans want a good movie, whether the director is a man or woman does not
come into the equation. Assuming that the director of a Wonder Woman movie MUST
be a woman is just limiting your options of who the director should be.
I mean by that thinking, a Chinese director from Taiwan has
no business directing Sense and Sensibility, Brokeback Mountain or Life of Pi! So
forget about getting a female director for Wonder Woman, just go and get the
BEST director for the job.
