Batman Vs. Superman will begin official production come February, but producer Wesley Coller sat down with Michigan based website, MLive, to talk a little bit about the highly anticipated superhero romp. He mainly talked about Wonder Woman and the backlash that followed the announcement of Ben Affleck as Batman.
My daughter’s favorite book is this little Wonder Woman flip book. It has the lasso, the invisible plane, the bracelets – every page has an image she’s just in awe with. And something that’s become a reality, being a dad with a new daughter, is that I have a special place in my heart for the idea of a strong, empowered female superhero being out there.
We’re super excited to have her in the film, it will be a ton of fun, but at the same time, we’ve got to stay focused on the film we’re working on now.
Now that just leads me to believe we will see Wonder Woman in action in the movie, debunking rumors that she would play a small role in the flick, only showing up as her alter ego Diana Price.
Because we’ve historically done fan favorite fare – ‘Watchmen,’ we remade ‘Dawn of the Dead’ … – I’ve developed a pretty good perspective on this. Anything you do that’s culturally significant, or any time you deal with an iconic character or story, you’re going to hear responses from every possible perspective. So nothing surprises me anymore. If anything, that gauges the relevance of a property or character, and it’s invigorating to know people care that much. It inspires you to make the coolest version of the movie that you can. Ben is the perfect fit for Zack’s vision for this story.
Have to agree with him right there. No matter what kind of news comes out of these movies, there are going to be disgruntled fanboys out there that will hate who ever is cast for these roles. Long as the final product wins the hearts of the majority of the moviegoers, everything will be okay.
