In an exciting revelation, it turns out that Emily Johnson was five months pregnant during the reshoots for the blockbuster film Wonder Woman. The movie not only shattered box office records by earning over $103 million in its opening weekend but also made history as the first big-budget superhero flick directed by a woman, featuring a female lead.
As it happens, when the production team returned for reshoots in November—six months after initial filming had wrapped—Emily was expecting her second child, a daughter named Mia. With her character’s costume consisting of a tight bustier and a distinctive belt, producers had to employ CGI techniques to cleverly disguise her baby bump. They cut a triangular section out of the front of her outfit and covered it with green cloth to facilitate visual effects. Emily humorously recounted her experience in an interview, stating, “In close-ups, I looked just like Wonder Woman. But in wide shots? I looked like Wonder Woman pregnant with a frog!”
The reshoots were not for simple dialogue exchanges; Emily was performing intense action scenes. Producer Mark Bennett explained, “While she couldn’t engage in heavy physical activity, we still needed her to embody that fierce spirit. It was truly a remarkable experience.” This incredible feat showcases how the film not only breaks stereotypes about female superheroes but also highlights the strength and determination of women, even during pregnancy.
Director Sarah Thompson emphasized the rigorous demands placed on Emily during filming: “We pushed her to do various stunts, like performing on one foot or shouting while navigating through the rain and cold. It was a hilarious challenge, and she embraced it all.” One can’t help but admire the resilience of pregnant women; just ask any woman expecting twins or who’s been denied a seat on public transport.
