Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins has revealed to IGN that Warner Bros. made her change the ending of film.

Patty Jenkins, the director of both Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984, has revealed that Warner Bros. made her change the ending of the original film.IGN’s Joshua Yehl spoke to Jenkins during Wonder Woman 1984’s press tour and asked her if the decision to make this new film’s finale more “personal and intimate” as opposed to the original’s “epic battle with lots of visual effects” was a conscious choice.
The original end of the first movie was also smaller but the studio made me change it at the last minute, Jenkins explained. And so, thats always been a little bit of a bummer that thats the one thing people talk about because I agreed, and I told the studio we didnt have time to do it, but it was what it was and I ended up loving it, but that was not the original ending of the movie.This time around, you know what I loved about it? I love that it has both at the end. We had visual effects a big battle, which I just dug into and had such a blast executing, which I felt so satisfied with. But ultimately the end of the movie is much more pared down. That was really, really fun. No spoilers, theres all kinds of stuff going on, but, yeah, it was really fun to shape it differently.Have you seen Wonder Woman?
Wonder Woman 1984 will be released on December 25 in theaters and on HBO Max and is the first of Warner Bros. films for the next year that will release day-and-date in theaters and on the streaming service.
In our Wonder Woman 1984 review, we said it “is a film with a heart full of hope and love; a nostalgic look back to a beloved time that provides escapism from an exceptionally difficult year.”
