Wonder Woman and WW84 director Patty Jenkins has released a statement in response to the recent report that she was the one who walked away from the planned threequel, and she paints a slightly different picture of what went down.
THR claimed (though other sites did publish similar reports) that it was Jenkins who decided to pass on helming the project after "receiving notes on the treatment she submitted to the studio." It was said that WB higher-ups weren't completely sold on her pitch, which contained "character arc problems which rivaled that of Wonder Woman 1984."
Jenkins was reportedly given the opportunity for another pass, but opted to walk, and made it clear that she had no interest in listening to new DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran's ideas.
However, Jenkins has now denied that she was the one to leave the film, adding that she "was open to considering anything asked of" her, but "it was my understanding there was nothing I could do to move anything forward at this time."
Jenkins also updated on Rogue Squadron, and it sounds like the Star Wars movie is still in-development - although she doesn't know whether it will ultimately happen.

From what we can gather, Gal Gadot is still attached to the role of Diana, so we might well see a third Wonder Woman movie with a different director behind the camera down the line.
