ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Luke, Rebecca, and Bella have this incredible chemistry throughout the entire movie.
I was obsessed with Luke Evans for a long time.
I kept going back to his agents and they were like, Hes not available.

This really intense, amazing experience.
I have been kind of equally obsessed with her.
She actually had considered adapting the Marston story herself, and that didnt end up working out.

But I think she heard about my project and read it and really liked it.
She was Elizabeth to me.
Shes so intelligent and so brilliant, like an incredibly brilliant person.
Shes grounded, powerful, and actually the strongest person in the film.
Bella actually sent me tape of herself doing the scenes and I was just blown away.
She was so complex and had this incredible grounded soulful quality that I think you see in this film.
The process of making the movie was literally the process watching them fall in love.
It was very organic.
You hear the squeak of the dolly and theres a boom guy standing there.
Basically, I made a playlist.
Its not even period music or anything.
What conversations did you have with Rebecca about the role?Rebecca rendered the character so beautifully.
We talked about glass ceilings and entitlement and what kinds of opportunities are built for men.
People were really unsure of howWonder Womanwas going to do and there was a lot of fear around it.
Professor Marston and the Wonder Womenis in theaters now.
