McFarlane Toys has released a new Wonder Woman figure as part of their line of DC collectibles. The figure features stunning detail and paintwork. While there is currently no new Wonder Woman movie in the works, a TV series based on Themyscira is in development. Wonder Woman has had a long history outside of the comics, starting with the 1975 live-action series starring Lynda Carter. Gal Gadot's portrayal of the character in the DCEU brought her back into the mainstream. The figure is a must-have for collectors and showcases the iconic superheroine's commitment to justice and truth.
In 2008, DC writer Grant Morrison revealed that they pitched a Wonder Woman movie to Warner Bros. Morrison, along with Geoff Johns and Marv Wolfman, worked as consultants for the company and aimed to create a modernized DC Universe that would appeal to a 21st-century audience. However, the idea didn't take off due to the lack of consistency and coherence among the individual projects. Morrison also discussed their interest in Wonder Woman and how they wanted to take the character back to her roots, inspired by the stories written by her creator, William Moulton Marston. This included incorporating Marston's interest in bondage and control, which received backlash from some fans who accused Morrison of sexualizing the character. Despite not having any films in the works, Morrison hinted at having more Wonder Woman stories to tell.
