As per Movie News Guide, Jenkins said the movie will bring to life the events inspired by the 1940 comic version written by William Moulton Marson.
The "Wonder Woman" is set to follow the footsteps of its television actress Lydia Carter. According to Jenkins, she left a huge impact to many, including her, as a little kid. The director also claims to have Wonder Woman as someone who isn't lesser in any way.
She vows to keep the legacy of Diana Prince while making her as universal as possible with her being beautiful and strong at the same time.
