WONDER WOMAN 3: DC Studios Boss James Gunn Responds To Patty Jenkins' Recent Statement

Following a statement from Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins about what's really happening with the threequel, new DC Studios boss James Gunn has responded to back up at least one part of her response.

With DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran in the midst of putting together an 8-10 year plan for the DCU, a lot of changes are being made to a franchise once known as the "DCEU." 

It's unclear whether any of the actors from that world will reprise their roles, though we do find it hard to imagine Warner Bros. being willing to part ways with the likes of Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot, even if DC Studios is starting from scratch. As is so often the case, there are lots of conflicting reports out there when it comes to what's going on, with Wonder Woman 3 at the centre of them.

Over the past week, we've heard that director Patty Jenkins clashed with Warner Bros. over her vision for the threequel and that she refused to converse with Gunn and Safran when offered feedback. Last night, the filmmaker issued a lengthy statement setting the record straight, and Gunn and now responded. 

As you can see below, he's backing up what Jenkins has said, making it clear that any interactions he and Safran had with the director as part of DC Studios "were only pleasant and professional."

This may go some way in debunking the claims of heated clashes over the story treatment she penned with Geoff Johns, though we'd guess from this statement that Wonder Woman 3 does indeed remain on hold while plans for the DCU are figured out. In some ways, it even feels like a farewell from Jenkins and we do wonder if there's a little bit of spin going on here. 

Jenkins probably won't return for the next Wonder Woman movie, though the character is bound to have a future on screen regardless of who is at the helm. 

Check out Gunn's response below and let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

@Twenty23Three - Never believe scoopers. They're so full of shit. Some moron who thinks his janitor friend working at WB studios is an inside source, and then they spread their bullshit so they can get clicks or cred. Guy who said that doesn't know wtf they're talking about, they've never been in a meeting with her or the studios. Bunch of nonsense.

@Twenty23Three - If you read his tweet aloud in a Scottish accent, Gunn clearly said "I canna test", meaning that he COULD NOT test whether his interactions with Jenkins were in fact "pleasant and professional", ergo, those meetings never happened, because Jenkins is so difficult to work with. ;-p

@nhoj3 - the beauty of being Scottish and having no social awareness means I ALWAYS read things aloud in a Scottish accent

I'm all for these people controlling their own narrative, but they're going to box themselves in if they keep responding to things via twitter..

So it's official. All these reports on what's going on at DC should be thrown out. If Gunn or saffron didn't confirm it, it's not to be trusted.

@Origame - It's more on how chaotic things have been at DC as well as speculation.

@Godzilla2000Zer - it really hasn't been all that chaotic considering it's a merger with discovery and a new leadership at dc meant to get a new plan in place.

Besides, it being chaotic is no excuse for running with all these unverified scoops.

@Origame - I definitely agree that that these trades dropped the ball hard reporting these various things without letting James and Peter at least finishing their pitch for Zaslav

@Kurne - ...why? He's been very professional in all his tweets, and has been helpful in sorting out all the bs reports that have been going around.

Gunn needs to get off Twitter now (just in stopping interactions with fans).

Tbh I always found his tweets come off as arrogant in the past, whether when hitting back at people or otherwise. He's sort of eased up these last few years since being "cancelled", but some of his responses lately are bringing that side out of him again.

In general though even simple tweets like this aren't going to help him in the long run, with people expecting him to respond to everything.

Gunn going to be driven crazy now that he feels he has to respond to any and all work involving DCU and GOTG. Judging by the state of the DCU he might quit social media, which I think would be a good thing for his sanity.

Between all the stories (false and true) that are reported about DCU its a wonder we can rely on any info at all. Maybe it's time reporters stop printing rumors and stick with facts only. Many of these rumors turn out to be false.
