Early on, Jenkins says she had two main objectives.

One was to confirm star Gal Gadot fought like Wonder Woman.

She doesnt punch people in the face.

Thats not the most effective way to stop something from happening, she says.

And she doesnt stomp on somebodys chest to get information.

Shes not that kind of person.

Secondly, she wanted to double-check Wonder Woman always looked attractive.

No, Jenkins says.

Thats not my dream.

Thats not my fantasy.

I dont want to make her into a man.

I want her to keep her integrity and grace while she fights.

I believe in the vigilance of that art, she says.

To stay vigilant every single day for the entire time is what the job is.

You want to go home, but then youre like, Hey, can we work this weekend?

Wait, who said that?

Gadot, for one, deeply appreciated her unwavering commitment.

Working with her is working with someone who doesnt give up, that doesnt get exhausted at any time.
