Jack Huston was considered for the lead role at one point, and Jason Momoa is…

There is also the Titanic TV special (do they even do TV specials anymore?) and with his level of attention to detail, its a wonder he had any time at all to weigh in on his thoughts on Wonder Woman and his disappointment in how she has been portrayed recently. Cameron, who is himself a member of the male Hollywood he has disdain for, said to The Guardian: “All of the self-congratulatory back-patting Hollywood’s been doing over Wonder Woman…
