Patty Jenkins On When We’ll See A New Version of Wonder Woman

It may be some time before we see another adaptation ofWonder Woman . Outside of the original DC strip — to which she was first introduced in 1941 — the type was n’t translated to screen until a 1972 invitee pip on liven up showThe Brady Kidsvoiced by Jane Webb . ( Other illustrious animated appearance includeSuper FriendsandJustice League . ) The following year , she led a television set movie star Cathy Lee Crosby , and then Lynda Carter famously played her in theWonder Womanlive - activeness television series from 1975 to 1979 .

After that , however , studios struggled to get a unexampled alive - action Wonder Woman off the earth , and many projects stalled . In 2016 , after tenner on the by-line , Gal Gadot led the character ’s feature film debut inBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justice , and earlier this summertime , starred in Patty Jenkins ' triumphantWonder fair sex — the character ’s first solo unrecorded - action moving picture after over 70 age of story . A sequel for the film hasalready been confirmed .

During a round table interview with the film ’s director , Patty Jenkins , and Etta Candy actress Lucy Davis draw toWonder Woman’shome release , Jenkins tell Screen Rant that while she ’s sure there ’s eminent demand for moreWonder Woman , timing is key . She said :

" I ’m certain they require to do it right now , I mean , who would n’t need to do marvel Woman ? So I think it ’s just - you’re able to only do one at a time , often , I feel so lucky to be the one to be require with Wonder Woman . But I definitely think that whatever has been the question about , like , she was swell as a TV show , but could she be a movie ? That ’s obviously now been answered . And so I ’m certain that she will go onward and I just hope she goes onward with her integrity entire . "

It ’s a fair judgement . Wonder Woman ’s gigantic achiever inarguably proves it ’s a prosperous enfranchisement , but it ’s also rather intimidating . Not only has it surpassed arecord - breaking $ 800 millionat the global box office and become thehighest - gross picture directed by a woman , but as of this calendar week , it ’s also formally thehighest - gross superhero ancestry storyever expel . That ’s a knotty act to follow , even if it is a no - brainer blockbuster .

Plus , Jenkins is already circling a spate todirectWonder Woman 2that will make her the highest pay female managing director in Hollywood — on top of the character reference ’s still - upcoming appearance inJustice League — and who knows how long the franchise will continue afterward .
