Warner Bros is on the hunt for a female director for Wonder Woman.

The studio is said to be actively seeking a female filmmaker to take on the high-profile solo superhero film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Female directors of superhero films have been in short supply.

Rachel Talalay directed the poorly-received 1995 Tank Girl adaptation. Lexi Alexander directed 2008's Punisher: War Zone.

Patty Jenkins was attached to Marvel Studios' Thor: The Dark World before being replaced by Alan Taylor.

Gal Gadot will debut in the role of Wonder Woman in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in the iconic superhero's first live action appearance since the 1970s.

The Wonder Woman film will be released in 2017.
