Joss Whedon said during a recent interview that he would have wanted to direct “Wonder Woman” if the film had come ahead of “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” The director claimed he wanted to share his visions of having a female version of the Batman, but he was given the chance to direct “Ultron” first.

According to Movieweb, before Whedon decided to direct the “Avengers” movies, he was supposed to helm “Wonder Woman.” The latter would have been made with Warner Bros. and D.C. The movie director was supposedly interested to helm a vigilante-type of superhero movie with a female as its lead initially, if “Avengers: Age of Ultron” had not come along. Whedon reportedly wanted to create his own version of “Wonder Woman,” where it would have been made with likeness to “The Dark Knight.” "I was thinking about, Well, if I wasn't' going to do Avengers 2, what would I want to do? Of course the first thing I thought of was 'turn-of-the-century female Batman,’” he said.

Whedon’s “Wonder Woman” would have reportedly solely focused on not a group of people or a team but just one person. He claimed the film would have been a “nice sort of action movie” and would reportedly have been a combination of all his favorite action films. He claimed his “Wonder Woman” would have been a product of a Sam Fuller and Edward Gorey film. The “Avengers: Age of Ultron” director admitted his instincts were telling him to incorporate all these ideas into the movie.

However, per Movieweb it’s uncertain if Whedon was interested in creating a Barbara Gordon a.k.a. Batgirl or Bette Kane a.k.a. Batwoman take on “Wonder Woman.” Likewise, it’s believed Whedon has no plans yet of leaving Marvel to head over to D.C. to direct “Wonder Woman” after his work with “Avengers: Age of Ultron” is completed.

“Wonder Woman” is slated for a U.S. release on June 23, 2017. It stars Gal Gadot as Diana Prince a.k.a. Wonder Woman. According to Celebeat, the movie adaptation will be helmed by Canadian TV director Michelle MacLaren, who’s famous for her work with “Breaking Bad.”
