In the wake of the DC Studios report yesterday, further details have emerged about the biggest revelation of the story – the apparent scrapping of the current incarnation of a third “Wonder Woman” film.
Deadline reports that it was filmmaker Patty Jenkins herself who walked away from the project after receiving notes on the treatment she submitted.
Jenkins made a threequel pitch that reportedly “had character arc problems which rivalled that of Wonder Woman 1984” – the widely panned sequel to the acclaimed first outing.
Warner Bros. Motion Picture chiefs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy had concerns about the treatment even before new DC chiefs Peter Safran, and James Gunn weighed in.
All reportedly provided notes, but Jenkins fought back and defended her vision. She was given the opportunity for another pass but opted to walk.
Now the question is whether star Gal Gadot wants to stay and make another sans Jenkins, with a recent tweet suggesting she might.
