Wonder Woman 1984 has only one deleted scene, reveals Patty Jenkins

Among other things, Wonder Woman 1984 was criticized for its long runtime of 150 minutes. Part of the reason could be that there was almost nothing left on the cutting room floor, according to director Patty Jenkins.

“I didn’t cut a lot of scenes in this movie,” Jenkins said in an interview with Collider. “I only cut out parts of scenes. The only scene I think we cut was Steve and Diana hailing a cab outside the Natural History Museum on their way to Black Gold. This is the only scene I think we cut. “

Black Gold, in case you don’t remember, is the cooperative businessman Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal) founded and where he leaves his son Alistair (Lucian Perez) to relax on his own.

Unless there’s a radical joke to go along with it, it seems wise to cut a scene where the main action is Diana (Gal Gadot) and Steve (Chris Pine) just getting into a cab.

Jenkins also asked if she would like to do a trendy director’s cut. She said if she made one the only difference was that the pace of the movie would be slower.

“No, I wouldn’t even want to. The reason is that I grew up with the pace of the movies a little slower and I think it’s great. And when I show these movies to my son, there is has no part of him that thinks they’re too slow. When you watch Superman or watch Raiders of the Lost Ark, nothing is too slow. “

“We’ve moved on a lot quickly in movies now, but that doesn’t add emotion to me. But I’m also a director, so who knows? I may be indulging myself and just acting in scenes for too long to support the film. Usually directors do this when you leave them alone. “

“So that’s the only difference I end up having, is that I would like to take a little more time and have a little more air all over the scenes that we really had anyway. ‘that’s it. So if I played my longest streak, it would be 15 minutes or 10 minutes longer and everyone was like, “I couldn’t tell the difference” because it would just be a little slower pace in all areas, so not really worth it. “

Basically, if you thought Wonder Woman 1984 was slow, it could have been slower.
