In a new interview with Weekly entertainmentSandberg highly praised both actresses and even shared a funny tidbit about their time on set.

“It was a dream to work with them. We aimed high when we cast the film and we got exactly what we wanted,” Sandberg told the magazine. “They’re both so kickass. You kind of have an expectation, like, ‘Oh, it’s Dame Helen coming on set!’ But the first day she came up, she said, “Yes! We need more power on set! We’re here now!” and I was like, ‘Oh, okay!'”

“We are honored to be the stewards of these DC characters that we’ve loved since we were kids,” Gunn and Safran added in a joint statement. “We look forward to working with the most talented writers, directors and actors in the world to create an integrated, multi-layered universe that still allows for the individual expression of the artists involved. Our commitment to Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Harley Quinn and the rest of DC’s stable of characters is matched only by our dedication to the wonder of human possibility that these characters represent. We are excited to revive the theater experience around the world while we have some of the greatest, greatest, and grandest stories ever told.”
