Gal Gadot Confirms Patty Jenkins Won’t Return

Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot has confirmed that director Patty Jenkins won’t return for the franchise’s third installment.

In a translated interview with the Israeli web site Kan.org, Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot reveals: “We are developing a third movie and we will see what happens with it.” Addressing the rumors, Gadot confidently said, “No one ever talked to me about freezing, I was told that I was in good hands and that I could be calm.”

“We were supposed to shoot the third film now with Patty, my beloved friend and the very talented director, but it won’t happen,” Gadot added.

However, this new part of the Wonder Woman sequence comes with a major shift within the inventive group. Patty Jenkins, the director behind the primary two Wonder Woman films, has stepped away from the venture. Gadot expressed her ideas on the change, saying, “We were supposed to shoot the third film now with Patty, my beloved friend and the very talented director, but it won’t happen.”

With Patty Jenkins’ departure, the reins now cross on to James Gunn and Peter Safran. Both carry a formidable portfolio within the superhero style, assuring that the character’s legacy stays in adept arms.

Wonder Woman’s DC Universe future

DC Studios can also be seeking to develop the Wonder Woman mythos with Paradise Lost. The sequence, which is at present in growth, is alleged to be a Game of Thrones-type story concerning the Amazons dwelling in Themiscyra, the house of Wonder Woman.

The Paradise Lost sequence guarantees to discover the wealthy historical past and tradition of the Amazons and the way they got here to be the fierce warriors that they’re referred to as. It will give followers an opportunity to delve deeper into the world of Wonder Woman, and see how her backstory and historical past are linked to that of her fellow Amazons.

Wonder Woman has been a serious box-office draw for DC. Her 2017 movie, directed by Patty Jenkins, earned greater than $820 million worldwide and acquired vital approval for its portrayal of the DC Comics character, performed by Gal Gadot. A sequel, titled Wonder Woman 1984, was launched in 2020, however failed to succeed in the identical heights as its predecessor as a result of COVID-19 pandemic.
