Wonder Woman is down a director.

Michelle MacLaren, the prolific Canadian-born television director known for her work on Breaking BadThe Walking Dead, and Game of Thrones, has departed the comic book film and its development due to creative differences, Warner Bros. announced Monday.

"Given creative differences, Warner Bros. and Michelle MacLaren have decided not to move forward with plans to develop and direct Wonder Woman together," the studio said in a statement reported in a number of industry publications.

MacLaren would have been the first woman to direct a major comic book adaptation in recent years. Patty Jenkins was originally scheduled to direct Thor: The Dark World, but also departed for creative differences.

Gal Gadot is set to star in the film as the titular character, who will be introduced to audiences first in director Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which bows on March 25, 2016.

No details were given on whether or not MacLaren's exit will impact the 2017 release.
