DC FanDome is only days away, but director Patty Jenkins apparently couldn’t wait to start answering fan questions.
On Tuesday, Patty Jenkins answered a few questions about Wonder Woman 1984 as a tease before DC FanDome on Aug. 22. While all of the questions were good, we were teased there will be a new trailer shown at the event. “You can meet me in #DCFanDome’s Hall of Heroes this Saturday, 8/22, to find out!!,” said Jenkins.
Jenkins answered eight other questions ranging from how she came up with the idea for the story of the sequel to what went into realizing Cheetah in live-action.
Here we go!!!
Good question Cassie! It was really great to be back with a beloved group of people. We had so much fun making this. But it was also a little crazy to do both films back to back. I felt like we didn’t have a day off for five years straight… because we didn’t! ;) https://t.co/2xzXlqf1zE

Extremely hard. We wanted it to look fantastic and that ended up being very complex. First, the most incredible design then figuring out how to execute it was a long journey. It ended up being a mix of practical and visual effects but it was worth it to make it look amazing! https://t.co/gdXcM4zTjC

I started thinking about it while making the first film, and then the whole story really flooded out very easily. It felt like a perfect second tale for our Wonder Woman, and really right for the times. Turns out it was even more right than I realized while making it. Thanks Paz! https://t.co/DyYfU1v8hH

Really enjoyable. Taking Diana and putting her in 1984 allowed us to see different sides of her, and also experience a different kind of villain very true to those times. It also influenced look and tone, so it was great to tackle a completely different one. Thank you Florencia! https://t.co/4ZSMu3a9eW

The struggle was to make it even grander. In this film WW is at her full power so as significant as the story needed to be, the visuals needed to be stunning. So we shot most everything with practical effects, with people on wires and incredible choreography. Can't wait to share! https://t.co/RSXkqe6gpW

Great question. I wanted this film to be an amazingly good time, but using this character to also do something impactful and significant to our times was actually one of our primary goals. So Gal and I talk about this constantly and I’m grateful we have the chance to go for both. https://t.co/ea51dg6JM7

I can't tell you much. ;) But I will say she isn't just a villain. She is an amazing character in her own right, who evolves in such a great way. And I can tell you that Kristen Wiig killed it! Thanks Rober! https://t.co/UOwBshSNtz

The first film was about the birth of a hero. In this film we find Diana in a very different place. She is now at the top of her game but she has also has also faced a lot to get there. So this hero's journey is about what it takes to be a true hero. Thanks Priscilla! https://t.co/jWD05sS0iQ
