Zack Snyder’s unrealized Wonder Woman movie plans could have prevented the most controversial element of Wonder Woman 1984. Introduced to the DC Extended Universe in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman brought complexity, likability, and comic accuracy to the iconic role, making her one of the franchise’s best characters.

As Gadot’s character was being developed for the DCEU, however, she was envisioned as a markedly different character.
