What's left behind the scenes
- Liam Hemsworth and Alexander Skarsgård were considered for the role of Steve Trevor.
- Preparing for the role of Wonder Woman took Gal Gadot nine months. During this time, the actress gained nearly 8 kg of muscle mass.
- The first film with a female superhero in the lead role since 2005, when Rob Bowman's sci-fi action movie 'Elektra' was released.
- At the very beginning of the film, the letters JL can be seen on the license plate of a Wayne Entertainment truck. They stand for Justice League.
- At the end of the film, Diana learns that her father is Zeus. Thus, it turns out that Ares was Diana's half-brother. However, in Greek mythology, Hippolyta was the daughter of Ares and, consequently, the granddaughter of Zeus.
- Kate Beckinsale, Sandra Bullock, Mischa Barton, Rachel Bilson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jessica Biel, Eva Green, Christina Hendricks, Kristen Stewart, and Cobie Smulders were considered for the role of Wonder Woman.
- Director Nicolas Winding Refn expressed interest in working on the film and envisioned Christina Hendricks in the role of Wonder Woman.
- Several campaigns were organized to have Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman in the TV series (1975-1979), appear in a cameo role in the movie, but the effort came to nothing.
- Director Patty Jenkins admitted that she drew inspiration from the works of Wonder Woman creator William M. Marston (1893-1947) and comic book writer and artist George Pérez while filming the movie.
- Work on the film began in 1996, when a contract for the screenplay and filming of the film was signed with Ivan Reitman. In January 2001, Silver Pictures approached Todd Ellrott with a proposal to write a screenplay for a Wonder Woman film. In August 2003, Ellrott was replaced by Laeta Kalogridis. In March 2005, Joss Whedon took on the screenplay with the condition that he would then direct the film, but in February 2007 he left the project due to creative differences with the studio. On November 24, 2014, Michelle MacLaren was confirmed as the director, and on March 13, 2015, she also left due to creative differences.
- Steve Trevor's watch is a pocket watch with a strap for wearing on the wrist. At the time, everyone used pocket watches with a chain, however, in the active army, where synchronicity and coordination of actions were often necessary during maneuvers and large-scale operations, it was more convenient to wear the watch on the wrist. After the war, wearing a watch on the wrist became fashionable among civilians.
- The first words spoken by Eugene “Brave Stone” to Wonder Woman are in the Blackfoot Native American language (named for the color of their moccasins). They translate to “Hello, my name is Napi.” Napi is a deity in this people’s legends, known for his ingenuity.
- Work on the film continued since 1996, when a contract for the screenplay and filming was signed with Ivan Reitman. In January 2001, Silver Pictures approached Todd Elliot with a proposal to write a screenplay for a Wonder Woman film. In August 2003, Elliot was replaced by Laeta Kalogridis. In March 2005, Joss Whedon took on the screenplay with the condition of then directing the film, but in February 2007, he left the project due to creative differences with the studio. On November 24, 2014, Michelle McLaren was confirmed as director, but she also left on March 13, 2015, due to creative differences.
- Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) jokingly refers to Diana's home island, Themyscira, as Paradise Island. This is a reference to the original name of Diana's homeland (Paradise Island) in the comics. When comic book writers significantly altered the character of Wonder Woman in the 1980s, the name Paradise Island was changed to Themyscira. Since then, in every appearance of Wonder Woman on screen or in print, her homeland has been referred to exclusively as Themyscira.
- In 2005, Angelina Jolie was offered the role of Wonder Woman, but the actress declined. Ten years later, the film studio considered offering Jolie the chance to direct the movie.
- Zack Snyder played an episodic role as a World War I soldier.
- Director Nicolas Winding Refn expressed interest in working on the film, envisioning actress Christina Hendricks in the role of Wonder Woman.
- In the scene where Diana jumps towards the tower holding the Godkiller sword, a bull appears on the cliff behind her. In ancient Greek myths, Zeus often takes the form of a bull.
- Several campaigns were organized to support casting Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman in the series (1975-1979), in a cameo role in the film, but nothing came of it.
- Kate Beckinsale, Sandra Bullock, Misha Barton, Rachel Bilson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jessica Biel, Eva Green, Christina Hendricks, Kristen Stewart, and Cobie Smulders were considered for the role of Wonder Woman.
- The first film featuring a superheroine in the lead role since 2005, when Rob Bowman’s sci-fi action film “Elektra” was released.
- In 2005, Angelina Jolie was offered the role of Wonder Woman, but the actress declined. Ten years later, the film company considered offering Jolie to direct the film.
- Zack Snyder played a cameo role as a World War I soldier.
- Some scenes of the film, including stunts performed by the lead actress, had to be reshot because Gal Gadot was six months pregnant.
- Work on the film began in 1996, when a contract for the screenplay and production was signed with Ivan Wrightman. In January 2001, Silver Pictures approached Todd Alcott with an offer to write a script for a Wonder Woman movie. In August 2003, Alcott was replaced by Laeta Kalogridis. In March 2005, Joss Whedon took over the screenwriting with the condition that he would later direct the film; however, in February 2007, he left the project due to creative differences with the studio. On November 24, 2014, Michelle McLaren was appointed as director, but she also departed on March 13, 2015, due to creative differences.
- The scenes on the island were filmed in southern Italy – in the province of Matera in the Basilicata region and at Castel del Monte castle near the city of Andria.
- Early versions of the plot featured the sorceress Circe, for whom Eva Green was cast. Later, this character was replaced by Doctor Poison, played by Elena Anaya.
- An Alamo Drafthouse cinema in Austin banned men from attending two screenings of “Wonder Woman,” designating them as “women only” showings.
- In the Belgian village, the church dome is not topped with a cross.
- Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) jokingly calls Diana's homeland Themyscira a paradise island. This is a reference to the original name of Diana's homeland (Amazon Island) in the comics. When comic book authors significantly changed the Wonder Woman character in the 1980s, the name Amazon Island was changed to Themyscira. Since then, in all appearances of Wonder Woman on screen or in print, her homeland has been called exclusively Themyscira.
- Director Patty Jenkins admitted that while filming the movie, she drew inspiration from the works of Wonder Woman creator William M. Moulton Marston (1893-1947) and comic book writer and artist George Pérez.
- The early versions of the plot featured the sorceress Circe, for which Eva Green was cast. This character was later replaced by Dr. Poison, played by Elena Anaya.
- The scene where Diana saves Steve from a bullet is borrowed from the first Superman film, where Clark saved Lois in exactly the same way.
- According to the comics from the 2011 rebooted series called The New 52, Wonder Woman is a demigoddess and the daughter of Zeus.
