“Wonder Woman” filmmaker Patty Jenkins has revealed that along with more films, there are also talks currently underway regarding an animated series focused on the Amazons and their homeland of Themyscira.
The project would join a third film and a spin-off film that would be “part of the in-world story of Wonder Woman” that are both currently in development. As previously indicated, said spin-off would also deal with the Amazons.
In an interview with Empire Magazine, Jenkins spoke about a scene from the upcoming “Wonder Woman 1984” that is briefly glimpsed in the trailer – the Amazon Olympics:
“What I love about the Amazon Olympics is everything that we got to really celebrate in the first movie. Here are these people who are incredibly powerful and capable, but different in how they approach things. If you’ve been training for hundreds of years because of an impending invasion, you’re going to be constantly working on all these skill sets. So, to me, every year, they would have these Olympics to see who’s doing the best on horses or swimming the fastest, and seeing new tricks people have figured out.”
Jenkins sounds highly enthusiastic about exploring more of the world of these films beyond just Diana’s story which is what the spin-off film and cartoon could explore:
“You’re enjoying the movie you’re making and also reflecting on what could be different or better in the [real] world. And therefore what story you want to tell. That’s the greatest thing to me about superhero stories. You’re able to have a dialogue about what a hero would be right now. So yes, I have ideas for what I’d like to say, and Gal does too.”
“Wonder Woman 1984” is currently targeting an October 2nd release date in cinemas via Warner Bros. Pictures.
