Director Patty Jenkins admits she was not initially thrilled about actress Gal Gadot being chosen for the role of Wonder Woman.
The 45-year-old filmmaker says her doubts were cleared when she saw the actress in action, reported Playboy.
"I remember when I read in the news that Wonder Woman had been cast and my heart sank. I had been talking to the studio for so long about doing it and I was like well 'that's that'. I'm sure we wouldn't have made the same choice," says Jenkins.
The director adds she would have settled for an American actress and not gone searching the world for to find her Wonder Woman.
"Frankly, I think they did a better job than I could have because I don't know that I would have scoured the earth as hard to find her. I don't know that I would've looked internationally. I would have just looked for an American girl," she says.
"Wonder Woman", also featuring Chris Pine and Robin Wright, is in theatres now.
