In 2017, Patty Jenkins’ 'Wonder Woman' shattered the 'glass ceiling' for female directors and protagonists in the superhero genre. After years of Hollywood executives claiming female-led superhero movies would fail at the box office, 'Wonder Woman' grossed $822 million. It was the highest-grossing film ever directed by a woman at the time of its release. The 'No Man's Land' sequence became an iconic moment in modern cinema. Its success forced a shift in the industry, leading to more diverse casting and a greater focus on female perspectives in major blockbuster franchises like the MCU and the DCEU.
