In an interview with The Wrap costume designer
Michael Wilkinson was asked specifically about working on
Wonder Woman's outfit which he called a "thrilling and slightly scary
prospect."
"It's so important to get her right. She really
deserves to be presented on-screen in her full glory. So what I do is I look at
the history of how the character has been presented on the big-screen, and the
small-screen, and in comic books, and graphic novels. We process it all. Then
we kind of put that aside and work out what is right for our film, for the
cinematic universe that our director Zack Snyder is putting together. We try
and create a Wonder Woman that's relevant for today's audiences."
When asked if he thought it would be realistic for her to
be fighting crime in her outfit, Wilkinson replied:
"Absolutely! I mean, you just have to look at the
gladiators from ancient Rome, they did their thing in little loin clothes and
shield....It works for Thor, it works for 300, so let's see what happens."
The Zack Snyder-directed film is set
to open on May 6, 2016.
