her 39 on her character being Diana's mother and em ionian Queen neelen stated I'm Queen and I'm preparing my child for a world that entails a lot of responsibility so it was important to me to bring that into the character 40 she read the Amazon by Adrien mayor to familiarize herself with women warriors and said I used what I learned in mayor's book as a rallying cry for how I approached hipolita and then of course what is a leader who is elected by her peers every year and has been doing this for a thousand years that too was interesting to think about neelen went through a workout regimen for the film saying I did 6 hours a day you know two hours of weight training 2 hours of Swords training and then two hours of horseback riding producer Zack Snider was the one who fought for neelen to get cast after Charlie's th and turned down the roll 4142 Elena Andia as Doctor Isabelle Maru Dr poison the chief chemist associated with General ludendorf who specializes in chemistry and poisons 30 on her role annias said well it was a small role in this big Ensemble but it is an important character in the story I'm going to be a big nightmare for Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor 43 describing her character annias said Doctor Maru loves rage and enjoys people's pain she's creating terrible weapons and her purpose in life is to kill as many people as possible and provoke as much pain as possible she researched World War I and Fritz habber the scientist who created mustard gas to prepare for the role 44 on the character's facial scars anniah stated I went to Patty Jenkins and asked what happened to her and she said she did it on purpose I was like what Patty you're going further than I ever imagined she said she wants to provoke painful suffering so she tested her own gas on her own face she wanted to know how deep this form of her gas would go so she put it on her own face you can see half of her face is completely gone this is the sadistic side of doctor Maru she also stated her character is quite the opposite to the lead role of this movie one of the strongest characters ever of DC Comics Wonder Woman I can tell you that Dr poison is someone with a capacity to provoke so much pain 45 on Doctor maru's relationship with General ludendorf annias said I think that they have a relationship based on loyalty ludendorf is a very tormented General that lacks self-confidence that's why in part he takes these drugs the doctor poison gives him they are from different worlds but they compliment each other 46 Lucy Davis is at a candy Steve Trevor secretary who befriends Diana 47 describing her character Davis said she's a woman in a man's world and so being heard and seen aren't the easiest things but it kind of doesn't deter her adding ETA is unapologetically herself and I think that that's the thing that has drawn me to her the most 48 when asked if she was previously familiar with the character Davis responded no I wasn't it took me a while to know that I was auditioning for ETA because even when I found out it was Wonder Woman I still had no idea what the role was it took a little while then I Googled the character 49 on edit Candy's relationship with Steve Trevor Davis said one of the great things that ETA gets to work with Steve Trevor is because Steve is not your Ty iCal man in that he does entrust her with things that in 1918 probably wouldn't have been entrusted to a secretary of somebody who is quite important further explaining so I think that Trevor needs her just as much as she needs that because now she's been given responsibility that she wouldn't have normally be given before and equally he has somebody who could probably fly under the radar a bit so he can trust the person who no one's really looking at 50 said tagmo is Samir a secret agent and Ally of Steve Trevor 5152 on his casting tagmi stated I was among hundreds of potential candidates and I slowly became the favorite adding it

month later I got a call saying I got the role and they wanted me to fly to London for a fitting 57th Brave Rock raised several concerns with Jenkins over the representation of the character in the film particularly that he was not comfortable playing into stereotypes and that he was not keen on his character being simply known as Chief 58 Jenkins responded by giving him some extra creative

to me to bring that into the character 40 she read the Amazon by Adrien mayor to familiarize herself with women warriors and said I used what I learned in mayor's book as a rallying cry for how I approached hipolita and then of course what is a leader who is elected by her peers every year and has been doing this for a thousand years that too was interesting to think about neelen went through
