While some filmmakers can not be found at all on social media,Wonder WomanfilmmakerPatty Jenkinsis not one of them, sharing behind-the-scenes insight from various stages of the production. While the post-production process is still under way on this DC superhero adventure, the director recently took to social media to share a new photo from a recent scoring session. She also teased seeing the final effects for the movie, which is set to arrive in theaters nationwide June 2. Here’s what the filmmaker had to say on social media below.
“Man! Last many Fridays have been some of the best in my life. Seeing final effects and recording EPIC score!?!Brings tears to my eyes #love”
The filmmaker would not reveal onTwitterwhere this scoring session is taking place, but it comes just a few days after directorJames Gunnshared a few videos from the scoring session of his Marvel superhero movie,Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which kicks off the summer movie season on May 5. Unfortunately,Patty Jenkinswouldn’t share more details on the “epic score” but the soundtrack is being composed byRupert Gregson-Williams. If theWonder Woman trailersare any indication, then this movie will also carry over theWonder Womantheme introduced inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which was composed byHans Zimmer.
In what is becoming a tradition of sorts among DC Comics movies, a rumor recently surfaced from a “DC insider” that claims thissuperhero movieis “discombobulated” and “disjointed,” and that the movie suffers from a lack of “narrative flow,” althoughPatty Jenkinsshot down those reports. There had been similar reports that had surfaced beforeBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeandSuicide Squad, both of which were considered critical failures, but still managed to pull in some decent numbers at the box office.Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justicepulled in $330.3 million at the domestic box office and $873.3 million worldwide, whileSuicide Squadearned $325.1 million domestic and $745.6 million worldwide. Still, both movies were out-grossed domestically by the R-ratedDeadpoolandCaptain America: Civil War.
Despite the critical drubbingBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicetook, one of the few high points for most critics was the debut ofGal Gadot’s Diana Prince, a.k.a. Wonder Woman.Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justicealso set up thatWonder Womandoes not exactly look her age, withBen Affleck’s Bruce Wayne discovering a photo of Diana from World War I that dates back 100 years, where she’s seen alongside a number ofWonder Womancharacters such asChris Pine’s Steve Trevor.Wonder Womanwill take fans to the title character’s homeland of Themyscira, along with World War I-era London, with a third setting bringing the title character back to present day, most likely to connectWonder Womanwith the upcomingJustice League, in theaters November 17.
In related news, Warner Bros. employeeKen Pejoroshared a new photo ofGal GadotinJustice League, which showsGal Gadotinteracting withBen Affleck’s Batman. The photo was presumably taken from one of Warner Bros.' soundstages, withGal Gadotsharing another version of the same photo on Instagram. The actress is seen standing in front of a microphone, presumably recording ADR (additional dialogue recording) for the movie. The image also features the timestamp 2:09:40:16, which seemingly indicates this scene takes place later on in the movie, but we still don’t have an official runtime in place forJustice Leaguequite yet. It’s possible thatZack Snydercould be working on the “Ultimate Edition” ofJustice League, meaning this could be actually closer to the middle of the film, instead of the end, but that hasn’t been confirmed.
Before she wasWonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior.

Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.Gal Gadotleads a stellar cast that also includesEwen Bremner,Robin Wright,David Thewlis,Danny Huston,Elena Anaya,Lucy DavisandConnie Nielsen.Wonder Womanwill go up against 20th Century Fox’s animated adventureCaptain Underpantson June 2, situated smack-dab in the middle of two Marvel movies,Guardians of the Galaxy 2on May 5 andSpider-Man: Homecomingon July 7.
