Charles Roven will produce the DC standalone feature with WB aiming to release the film on June 23, 2017. Warner Bros. had no comment on this story. Plot details of the Wonder Woman feature are unknown at this time. Itbs also unknown whether or not this will be an origin film since the Wonder Woman character will first make her appearance in bBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,b which opens in March 2016. Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara recently announced the DC slate at an investor meeting last month, which includes new DC/Justice League films from Batman, The Flash, Aquaman and more. Over the years there have been many attempts to deliver a Wonder Woman film adaption of the popular comic book character, with bThe Avengersb director Joss Whedon coming the closest before things eventually fell apart. The studio also seems to be taking the same route as Universal did with b Fifty Shades of Greyb by hiring a female director to tackle the material given the strong independent woman at the center of it. MacLaren has made her name for herself in TV over the past couple of years on shows like bGame of Thrones,b bThe Walking Deadb and bBreaking Bad.b Given the cinematic feeling each of her episodes gave off, it seemed only a matter of time before a movie studio gave her the opportunity to direct a tentpole pic. According to sources, Warner Bros. EVP of Production and Development Greg Silverman has always been a fan of MacLarenbs work for some time and had been trying for awhile to find the right project for her. She is repped by ICM Partners.
