Zack Snyder Explains What Would’ve Happened in His Scrapped Wonder Woman 1854

DCEU director Zack Snyder opened up about his scrapped Wonder Woman 1854.

Director Zack Snyder helmed several projects for the DC Extended Universe, and he also had a plan for Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman with the film Wonder Woman 1854. However, the project never happened, and the director detailed his plans for the film.

In an interview with Empire Magazine to promote his upcoming film, Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scavenger, the director also opened up about his unmade Wonder Woman film. Snyder helmed 2013’s Man of Steel, 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, 2017’s Justice League, and 2021’s Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and produced several other superhero films. However, his DC Universe could’ve been even bigger, and Wonder Woman 1854 came up during fan questions.

“The idea of that was an early riff we were doing: once Wonder Woman left the island in search of Ares, what happened to her in her different incarnations?” Snyder started. “My idea for it was that she would travel around the world looking for Ares and she would go to every place where there was conflict.”

“On those battlefields, she found these lovers, warriors, and they would age out because she is immortal,” he elaborates. “They would be her lover for ten years or they might die in battle, and it was probably sad for a lot of the guys because they would see her starting to be nice to the next young soldier and be like, ‘Oh, I’m being replaced.’ But all the guys that she had with her were those loyal warriors she found on the battlefields all over the world.”

Ultimately, everything would lead Diana to Chris Pine’s Steve Trevor. “We talked about if Steve Trevor was there in Crimea,” Snyder confirms. “It was never a screenplay, but we talked about it so much that it kind of had its own life.”

What Is Next for Wonder Woman?
Zack Snyder’s Wonder Woman 1854 film never happened. However, Gal Gadot did have two solo Diana Prince films, both for which Snyder was a producer. The two films had Patty Jenkins at the helm. With DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran restarting the universe, Wonder Woman’s future isn’t quite clear.

Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins gave a disappointing update on Wonder Woman’s future recently, revealing that there isn’t any plan for a Wonder Woman film at the moment. “They aren’t interested in doing any Wonder Woman for the time being. It’s not an easy task, with what’s going on with DC. James Gunn and Peter Safran have to follow their own heart into their own plans. I don’t know what they are planning on doing or why, so I have sympathy for what a big job it is and they have to follow their heart and do what they’ve got planned.”
