No lasso of truth needed: Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins is candidly speaking out about her distaste for Joss Whedon s Justice League.

Ahead of the release of the much anticipated superhero sequel, Jenkins reflected on how previous directors have brought the Princess of Themyscira to the big screen.

After Wonder Woman broke box office records and opened to near universal critical acclaim in 2017, the iconic character played by Gal Gadot appeared in Justice League later that year. The polarizing film was heavily overhauled by Whedon, who took over for original director Zack Snyder after a family tragedy, leaving critics and moviegoers alike largely dissatisfied with the final result.

In Jenkins eyes, Whedons theatrical cut contradicted her take on Wonder Woman, as all of the films in the DC cinematic universe are meant to be somewhat interconnected regardless of the individual directors vision.

I think that all of us DC directors tossed that out just as much as the fans did. But also, I felt that that version contradicted my first movie in many ways, and this current movie, which I was already in production on, Jenkins revealed on the ReelBlend podcast on Wednesday. So then, what are you going to do? I was like You would have to play ball in both directions in order for that to work.
