Warner Bros. has announced that Jason Fuchs, the writer of Pan, will pen the script for the upcoming Wonder Woman film. He's expected to join Michelle MacLaren and star Gal Gadot as the team prepares to bring the heroine to the big screen for the first time in 2017.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fuchs is in talks with Warner Bros. to pen the screenplay, and it is highly likely that Warner Bros. will use him. The 2017 Wonder Woman movie will take place in the same universe as Batman v Superman and is expected to be set in the 1920s.
Fuchs is only 28, and his most notable work so far that is the upcoming 2015 movie, Pan. The film, the story of an orphan who is spirited away to Neverland for magical adventures, is still far away from being released, but already moviegoers are excited. It stars Levi Miller as Pan and Hugh Jackman as Blackbeard. The director, Michelle MacLaren, is the second woman to direct a superhero film and the first to direct one of this magnitude. She is mainly known for her work on several Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and The Walking Dead episodes.
