Zack Snyder was the middle man between writer/director Patty Jenkins and Connie Nielsen, and he helped pave the way for the pair’s collaboration on the 2017 blockbuster, per THR. Jenkins had felt the Gladiator actress was a bit too tough to play the mother of Diana Prince and Queen of Themyscira. After Zack Snyder’s nudge, the filmmaker gave her a chance and the connection was instant.
