WONDER WOMAN Director Patty Jenkins Teases A "Full-Blown" Diana Prince In The Sequel
It sounds like Diana Prince will be getting some serious upgrades in the highly anticipated sequel as director Patty Jenkins has shed some light on what we should expect from Wonder Woman's return there.
Wonder Woman served as an origin story for Diana Prince, detailing her first foray into man's world and the loss of her beloved Steve Trevor. We have now idea whether the sequel is going to take place in the present day or if it will explore the iconic Amazon warrior's adventures in another era but director Patty Jenkins has promised the sequel is going to delve into what she calls a "full-blown" Wonder Woman.
What that means remains to be seen but seeing as the world didn't know about the hero until Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, chances are Jenkins could be referring to Diana after Justice League.
"The greatest thing about making this [the first Wonder Woman] movie was the fact that you’re really building to the Wonder Woman that we all love, but not until the end of the movie. The most exciting thing about [the sequel] is literally seeing her loose in the world now, living those classic stories. Here’s Wonder Woman, and what can she do? It should be a totally different movie, but a grand and now full-blown Wonder Woman in the world."
It's going to be interesting see where Wonder Woman goes next and whether or not she winds up with the Invisible Jet and as a public figure similar to her comic book counterpart. Jenkins' comments are certainly exciting anyway and feel free to share your thoughts on her comments in the usual place.
