Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins recently revealed that the third act of the first film was changed by Warner Bros.
We are now a few days away from Wonder Woman 1984 finally hitting theaters and on HBO Max. Reviews for Wonder Woman 1984 have already come out as well and it appears Patty Jenkins went for something different compared to the origin story. The first DC film is beloved by many, but one area where criticism strikes is with the film’s CGI feast in the third act battle with Ares.
Patty Jenkins recently opened up in an interview with IGN and shared she originally intended for Wonder Woman to have a more toned-down third act, but Warner Bros. eventually stepped in and decided to beef up the spectacle:
“The original end of the first movie was also smaller but the studio made me change it at the last minute. And so, that’s always been a little bit of a bummer that that’s the one thing people talk about because I agreed and I told the studio we didn’t have time to do it, but it was what it was. I ended up loving it, but that was not the original ending of the movie.”
