Patty Jenkins shares her excitement over Wonder Woman 2

June 30, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Although Warner Bros. is yet to make an official announcement on Wonder Woman 2, DC Films co-chief Geoff Johns has previously revealed that he’s starting to plot out the story with director Patty Jenkins, and now the filmmaker has revealed to Advocate (via Collider) that she’s excited about the prospect of reuniting with Gal Gadot for the Amazon Princess’ solo sequel.

“I had an epiphany about Wonder Woman 2,” states Jenkins. “I was like, you don’t have to do this. It doesn’t have to be a foregone conclusion that you do Wonder Woman 2. But then as I was falling asleep I had an epiphany. I was like, Wait a minute. You have the greatest character of all time that you love dearly, with a cast that you love sitting at the palm of your hand at this day and age — you can do whatever you want with them — are you crazy? And then I suddenly realized, it’s not more, it’s another movie. It’s its own movie. And it’s got to be great. It’s a continuation of the same character, but there’s a great, entirely different story to be told. With this character in our—in the world, that’s fun, because now she exists, just funny, and also says something profound about the world we’re in right now.”

Given the critical and commercial success of Wonder Woman, you’d have to imagine Warner Bros. will be keen to get Jenkins locked down for the sequel as quickly as possible, and perhaps we’ll even hear an official announcement at Comic-Con next month.

SEE ALSO: Patty Jenkins would like to direct a Superman movie

Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

Wonder Woman sees Patty Jenkins (Monster) directing a cast that includes Gal Gadot (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), Chris Pine (Star Trek), Connie Nielsen (Gladiator), Robin Wright (House of Cards), Danny Huston (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), David Thewlis (The Theory of Everything), Ewen Bremner (Snowpiercer), Said Taghmaoui (American Hustle), Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In), Lisa Loven Kongsli (Force Majeure), Lucy Davis (Shaun of the Dead) and Ann Wolf.
