!!Her work provides examples of the following tropes:
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** In November 2014, she was announced as the director of ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'', the first solo cinematic appearance of the namesake character, as part of the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse, and she came to be viewed so closely to the movie to the point a ''Vulture'' interview with her a month after the announcement was titled [[https://www.vulture.com/2014/12/michelle-maclaren-wonder-woman.html "The Other Wonder Woman"]]. However, in April 2015 [=MacLaren=] left the project due to CreativeDifferences and ultimately Creator/PattyJenkins directed the film.
** She was one of the directors considered to direct ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3'' after Creator/JamesGunn was fired by Disney over old controversial tweets that had resurfaced online, before he was eventually reinstated due to both public outcry at the decision and because none of the directors approached were willing to take over the ''Guardians'' franchise.
