A Glasgow cinema is set to host a women only screening of Wonder Woman in solidarity with an American picture house currently hitting headlines.

The Alamo Drafthouse was subjected to a backlash online after hosting women only screenings - and yesterday it emerged that the cinema faces legal proceedings from a professor complaining of ‘discrimination’.

The Grosvenor Cinema, in Ashton Lane, will show the superhero film to women only on Thursday (June 8) from 6.20pm - and that includes the staff present for the showing.

The Facebook event reads: “Taking our cue from the good people at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, we are celebrating the world's most iconic super-heroine in her first dedicated film with a women-only screening.

“Apologies gents, but this screening is open to people who identify as women only (right down to the staff on the night).

“Please join us in a geeky gala of all things Wonder Woman!”

The debate over women only screenings rages on between social media users, with some saying the only film about a woman superhero and directed by a woman to hit theatres is worthy of celebration for a single screening.
