WONDER WOMAN 1984 Director Patty Jenkins Rethinking WONDER WOMAN 3 Plot In Light Of Recent World Events

Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins shares some insight into her Wonder Woman 3 plans, indicating that the film will undergo some changes in light of what's been happening in the world this year!

Wonder Woman 1984 isn't receiving a traditional theatrical release, so whatever it earns at the box office will need to be taken with a grain of salt. In other words, if the sequel grosses less than the first film, it will be important to remember that it's because of the pandemic and that simultaneous HBO Max release (not because this follow-up is a "flop").

In a recent interview with Cinema Blend, Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins confirmed that she has a story for her threequel, but that it's likely to change thanks to the madness of 2020.

"I actually came up with a story, and Geoff Johns and I beat out an entire story for Wonder Woman 3 that we were super fired up about. But I’ve never felt this way before as much as I do now," the filmmaker explains. "I don’t think I’m doing it next, and so I sort of have to wait and see where we are in the world. It’s interesting."

"What I wanted to talk about in this film was very prescient to what I was feeling, and what you were feeling, was coming. So now? I’m not sure, So much has changed in the world. I still love the story that we came up with," Jenkins continues. "I’m sure that parts of it would come over to it. But I’m trying to say, ‘Don’t decide.’ Don’t fall in love with anything. See ‘What would Wonder Woman do now?’ What are you craving Wonder Woman to do in this world?"

There was only a three year gap between Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984 (and it would have been two without that first big delay), but it's looking like we'll have much longer to wait for Wonder Woman 3

What the film will look like is obviously going to depend what happens when Jenkins returns to the drawing board.

I think Patty might want to do a smaller movie to rejig her batteries a bit before she delves into another mega blockbuster.

@KingLeonidas - She's doing Cleopatra for Paramount next

@tmp3 - Damn. There goes my hypothesis. She has a background in indies, so I thought she might want to do a small quick indie to relax a bit.

@KingLeonidas - Remember though, she's been done with Wonder Woman 2, for a while now. I could totally see her wanting to continue to tell larger stories, with wider reach.

@KingLeonidas - She's doing a Star Wars film now too lol

@tmp3 - Lol just heard. I guess she will do Star Wars and then Wonder Woman 3. I think Cleopatra is in development hell. I wonder if they will ever make that movie.

She asks herself the right questions about the character's journey and trajection so that gives me confident in the next film.

I know it is a different topic, but I can't help and wonder if Comic Book Movie will cover the Video Game Awards tonight.

I heard there was to be several new games to be revealed tonight.

Hopefully some cool stuff for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.

“What are you craving Wonder Woman to do in this world?"

1. End the pandemic with magic
2. Get jungle fever and date me

Is it about the dangers of giving up freedom for safety? Or are we not there yet?

@InfinitePunches - Pfft, mankind has never been free. Freedom is an illusion because from day 1 until the day you die, there is a monstrous dictionary sized set of laws, rules and restrictions that you have to follow or be jailed/fined/punished/whatever. Weather it's the laws that the police uphold or the rules of your neighbors house (my house, my rules), your actions are controlled.

You want freedom, go live on a deserted island completely alone. Then and only then will you have actually freedom. Just saying.

.i.e. a new democratic administration therefore a trump like character can't be villain so we'll wait and see who the left/sjw's target next...

I assumed she'd take this approach for Wonder Woman 2. Why put Diana in the 80s, when you can give her a relevant story for today? Also, maybe Patty can come up with something for the third one, WITHOUT Geoff Johns' involvement.😂 I still got PTSD from Josstice League.

I want to see her deal with Greek mythological evils and family drama with the gods more than her having to deal with a MODERN issue.

@BlackBeltJones - I hope not. Wonder Woman in general should move as far away as possible from Greek Mythology. Don't get me wrong, I find it fascinating, but her world should feel unique to her. There should be cultural references to her villains, her villains shouldn't be references to other cultures. I mean people reference Bizarro, Riddler, Mr Freeze, Gorilla Grodd, etc. Superman's and Batman's cultural value is fully independent and all their villains represent something about the unique nature of who they are. Diana is a woman made out of clay that was raised on an autonomous island full of women. Imagine if they treated that world the same way Wakanda has been treated in the last few years. Every time you put Ares as the villain in her stories and make it about Greek symbols you take away from the idea of a culture that is only informed by the various ideas of femininity.

Every time she says something, it just makes sense. Hoping that, when she gets to doing 3, WW3 will adapt the Contest and/or War of the Gods
