James Cameron saysWonder Womanis 'a step backwards'

UPDATE:Wonder Womandirector Patty Jenkins hasrespondedto James Cameron.

Strong women are great.

His praise of my filmMonster, and our portrayal of a strong yet damaged woman was so appreciated.

I believe women can and should be EVERYTHING just like male lead characters should be.

There is no right and wrong kind of powerful woman.

EARLIER: James Cameron claims all of the self-congratulatory back-patting Hollywoods been doing overWonder Womanhas been so misguided.

But according to the filmmaker, Connor has an edge on Wonder Woman when it comes to authenticity.

And to me, [the benefit of characters like Sarah] is so obvious.

I mean, half the audience is female!

Cameron is currently at work on thefour sequelsto 2009sAvatar, with shooting expected to begin in September.
