Warner Bros. Pictures is aiming to finally release “Wonder Woman 1984” in cinemas in October, the film arriving nearly a year after its earliest planned release.
Though an apparent synopsis leak a while ago appeared to spoil the film’s story, how much that breakdown reflects the final film is unclear. Whatever the case, it’s expected at least one more sequel is on the way in the series along with a potential Amazon-themed spin-off.
Speaking with German magazine Geek (via DCMovieNews2), the filmmaker indicated that if she gets the opportunity to direct a third film, it will likely be her last adventure with Diana:
“[Wonder Woman 1984] gave me a chance to do a lot of things that I couldn’t accommodate in the first movie. I was so happy to tell the Wonder Woman origin story. It was almost her birth, but we really haven’t seen what she is capable of. It is exciting for me to show her at the peak of her strength.
But it is also very important that she fights an internal struggle: she is a Goddess and tries to help humanity. She is not only someone who fights evil, she tries to show bad people how to improve. It’s an interesting dilemma. The next one [Wonder Woman 3] is probably my last Wonder Woman movie, so I have to put everything I want to show there. We have to think carefully.”
The previous films took place during the 1910s and the 1980s with Jenkins having previously indicated she prefers telling a story in a ‘period’ context. What that could mean for the setting of the next one isn’t clear.
