BREAKING: WonderWoman3, which would have seen Gal Gadot reprise her role, is reportedly no longer moving forward at Warner Bros.
The Lasso of Truth has run short on this one. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Wonder Woman 3 is reportedly no longer moving forward at DC Studios. Patty Jenkins, who directed the first two installments, would have returned, alongside star Gal Gadot. At the moment, the cause of the cancelation is being attributed to the sequel not aligning with the new blueprint being set by co-chairs of DC Studios, James Gunn and Peter Safran.
Both Gunn and Safran recently returned to Los Angeles from Aspen following an extensive planning session for DC Studios. It's speculated that the duo broke the news to Jenkins, who is said to have recently turned in a draft, co-written by Geoff Johns. While the next incarnation of the character by Jenkins —in its current state— won't see the light of day, this may not necessarily be the end for Gadot's take on the character.
The first Wonder Woman was released in 2017 to massive critical and financial acclaim. Prior to its release, fans remained skeptical due to the tepid response to Zack Snyder's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and the limited starring role experience of Gadot. The film ended up becoming a cultural touchstone for recent comic book filmmaking, beating the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the punch for a female-led solo project.
This announcement marks another unfortunate roadblock for Jenkins, who recently had her Star Wars project shelved at Lucasfilm. She had been set to direct Rogue Squadron, a spin-off film centered on starfighter pilots in the galaxy far, far away. Jenkins is an undeniable talent who has proven herself outside of genre fare. Most notably, she led Charlize Theron to an Academy Award for her transformative role in Monster.
Stay tuned to Collider for all the latest news on the DC projects in development and the future of Gadot's Diana Prince/Wonder Woman. Check out Collider's interview with Wonder Woman star, Robin Wright, who discussed Jenkins' vision for the titular character below:
