Warner Bros. CEO Ann Sarnoff named Wonder Woman as her favorite DC hero over Batman and Superman.
In June, Ann Sarnoff was named the new chair and CEO of Warner Bros. a few months after Kevin Tsujihara stepped down from the position amid a sex scandal. This past Wednesday, Ann Sarnoff met with the workforce of Warner Bros. in a town hall to discuss the company’s future.
Towards the end of the hour-long meeting, Ann Sarnoff took questions in a lightning round session and was asked to choose between Batman and Superman at one point. However, the Warner Bros. CEO selected a different superhero and simply said, “Wonder Woman!”
Of course, Warner Bros.’ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice marked the first time Wonder Woman appeared in a live-action feature film, with Gal Gadot portraying the iconic DC heroine. In 2017, Gal Gadot reprised the role in the Wonder Woman solo film from Warner Bros. and she will return for the sequel due to hit theaters next summer.
Full details on the Wonder Woman 1984 plot are being kept under wraps, but the film is said to follow Gal Gadot’s Diana Prince as she comes into conflict with the Soviet Union in the 1980s and encounters a formidable new adversary named Cheetah, played by Kristen Wiig.
Directed by Patty Jenkins from a script she co-wrote with David Callaham and a treatment she developed with Geoff Johns, Wonder Woman 1984 stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wigg, Pedro Pascal, Natasha Rothwell, Ravi Patel, Gabriella Wilde, Connie Nielson, and Robin Wright.
Wonder Woman 1984 will be released in theaters on June 4, 2020.
