Cameron sparked a backlash that caught the attention of the films director, Patty Jenkins.
And to me, [the benefit of characters like Sarah] is so obvious.
I mean, half the audience is female!
The Hollywood Reporter
Jenkins, who becamethe highest-grossing female director of a live-action filmwithWonder Woman,published a retort on social media.
Strong women are great.
His praise of my filmMonster, and our portrayal of a strong yet damaged woman was so appreciated.
He said, There was nothing sexual about her character.
It was about angst, it was about will, it was about determination.
She was crazy, she was complicated.
Wonder Womanearned $820.4 million at the global box office.
I thought it was a good film.
Period, Cameron continued.
I was certainly shocked that [my comment] was a controversial statement.
It was pretty obvious in my mind.
I just think Hollywood doesnt get it about women in commercial franchises.
