Wonder Woman 1984 S Patty Jenkins And Gal Gadot Wanted To Inspire People To Save Our World

Wonder Woman 1984’s Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot wanted to inspire people “to save our world” with their film. A lot of digital ink has been spilled about the sequel, and a lot of it notes the hopeful tone of WW84. Deadline talked to the director and her star about their aims for the movie. A lot of fans wondered what Jenkins was angling for when tying the second film in the series to the 1980s. After seeing the film, it becomes clear that the filmmaker has no problem with tweaking some of the excesses of that decade. Pedro Pascal’s Maxwell Lord is a living embodiment of that “more is better” ethos as a villain. So, Gadot and her director both think encouraging people to see beyond themselves was a great takeaway for the film. Jenkins in particular thought that a more “serious” take on a moral was necessary after the first Wonder Woman.
