Canadian director and producer Michelle MacLaren, best known for her work on shows like Breaking Bad, The X-files and Game of Thrones is all set to develop and direct Warner Bros’ Wonder Woman, starring Israeli actress Gal Gadot, who will also make her debut as the female superhero in 2016’s Batman Versus Superman: Dawn Of Justice.
Michelle has become the first female director to helm a major comic book-based movie. She was an executive producer of Breaking Bad and co-executive producer of The X-Files.
MacLaren directed 11 episodes of Breaking Bad – more than anyone else during the popular AMC show’s five-year run.
She has shared two Emmy wins for best drama series. She’s been nominated for two best director Emmys for the series as well.
A Wonder Woman movie has been in development, on and off, for close to two decades now. The last director attached was Joss Whedon, who left the project in 2007. But now the DC comics fan don’t have to wait for longer as the movie is all set to release in 2017 and will be produced by Charles Roven, Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder.
