Joss Whedon

Writer/director Joss Whedon told SCI FI Wire that he’s probably going to turn in his script for the feature-film version of Wonder Woman sometime this coming week, and added that it will feature all of the expected gadgets and costume gimmicks from the DC Comics franchise. Whedon spoke in an interview at the star-studded Los Angeles premiere of Slither, which stars Whedon’s Serenity star Nathan Fillion.

"I’m probably going to turn it in in a few days," Whedon said of his Wonder Woman script. "It’s coming along. ... There will be all of the expected stuff. Of course there will be the bracelets; there will be the invisible jet, the lasso, all of that."

Whedon likened the character to another one of his creations, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, adding: "It’s about girls maturing, a rite of passage, that kind of thing."

Whedon said it’s too early to speculate on casting for the project. He will be turning the script in to Warner Brothers and hopes to begin production later this year.

Asked about further installments of Serenity, Whedon shrugged his shoulders.
