With Gal Gadotâs Wonder Woman making her big-screen debut in director Zack Snyderâs Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice come Friday, the Amazon Princess will get to stand side by side with Ben Affleckâs Dark Knight and Henry Cavillâs Man of Steel, the might of DCâs Holy Trinity displayed full-force as they face off against Doomsday.
But itâs actually when sheâll fly solo in her stand-alone movie that fans will get to see the full extent of her powers and abilities when Patty Jenkinsâ Wonder Woman lassoes its way into movie theaters in 2017. Thatâs what producer Deborah Snyder revealed in a video interview with Collider, where she also touched upon Aquaman (Jason Momoa), The Flash (Ezra Miller) and Cyborg's (Ray Fisher) powers.
âI think that Zack and Geoff Johns sat down and outlined these stories, many of them at least. Really, we did a chart with what their powers were, like what Supermanâs powers were, and I think you see a little bit of Wonder Woman. So we get a sense of her power but we didnât want to do too much because obviously Pattyâs going to build up to that and weâre going to learn how she discovers her powers in that movie. And then with Aquaman and Flash and Cyborg, those are a little bit more cameo, so you see a little bit that thereâs something different but we donât want to give too much away because we were just in the process, and we still are, of developing those scripts.â

âFor BvS it was important for me that we show how independent she is. She is not relying on a man, and sheâs not there because of a love story. Sheâs not there to serve someone else⦠She has so many strengths and powers, but at the end of the day sheâs a woman with a lot of emotional intelligence. Sheâs loving⦠And itâs all her heart â thatâs her strength. I think women are amazing for being able to show what they feel. I admire women who do. I think itâs a mistake when women cover their emotions to look tough. I say letâs own who we are and use it as a strength.â
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens March 25, whereas Wonder Woman will bow into theaters June 23, 2017.
