Maybe Wright's daughter was like the rest of us and was under the assumption that she was playing Hippolyta? I think the statement that said she was playing Diana's aunt also said she was originally on to be the queen and the roles got rearranged or something. Of course, that may be false too.
I wish they would just tell us who everybody is playing already. The speculation is pretty fun up to a point, but also pretty maddening. What's the big secret?
