Wonder Woman 1984 hits HBO Max this Friday (a little later than we would have liked), and while there's really no way for Warner Bros. to make anything other than a loss at this stage, the studio still wants a Wonder Woman 3. They believed the DC Comics sequel would make $1 billion at the worldwide box office, but this has been far from a normal year, and it seems unlikely the movie will break even.
They can at least to try and earn some money back, of course, and if nothing else, Wonder Woman 1984 looks set to drive a lot of new subscribers to the HBO Max streaming service.
It's hard to say whether Patty Jenkins will choose to return to the franchise given some recent comments, but Wonder Woman, herself, Gal Gadot, hopes to see the next movie move to the present.
"I think the present is the right thing," the actress told MTV News when asked about Jenkins' past comments that a Wonder Woman 3 would move to today. "I wouldn't go to like to the 60s or to the 40s with Wonder Woman. I feel like the past has been handled well and now it's time to move on."
There are certainly more tales that could be told in the past with the Amazon Warrior, but after seeing her team-up with the Justice League and become a publicly recognised hero, it's about damn time she came out of hiding. Unfortunately, it feels like we'll be waiting a while before we get to see that happen.
What are your hopes for a Wonder Woman 3?
