WONDER WOMAN Star Connie Nielsen Is Hoping That Patty Jenkins' Amazon-Led Spinoff Will Happen

Last year, we heard that Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins was developing a spinoff based on Themyscira's Amazons, and Wonder Woman and Justice League star Connie Nielson is hoping it will happen...

During last year's Comic-Con Experience in São Paulo, Brazil, Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins told fans that Warner Bros. was considering releasing a spinoff focusing on the Amazons and their home of Themyscira. Later, the filmmaker claimed that she had it "all mapped out," but you have to believe the studio is waiting to see how her Wonder Woman sequel does first. 

During a recent interview with Coming Soon, Connie Nielsen (who plays Diana Prince's mother, Hippolyta) was asked about returning for Wonder Woman 1984, and said that, "It was a little bit like a homecoming. We got to see everybody, hang out. It was very cute. All the girls got to get together and it was very cool."

Asked specifically about that spinoff, the actress said that she and the other cast members we'd likely see in the film, "would love to, we would love to do that."

The Wonder Woman and Aquaman franchises have been very profitable for Warner Bros., so it's no great surprise that the studio is now looking for ways to expand those. In the case of the King of Atlantis, rumour has it that we're getting a spinoff revolving around The Trench (which would include appearances from Arthur Curry and Mera). 

In the case of this Amazon-led adventure, we have no idea what to expect, but Jenkins could delve into thousands of years of history with these characters long before Diana was born. 

Would you guys like to see this film become a reality?

I wonder how these spin-offs would potentially play out?

Or they could, you know, make them sequels to their respective pre-existing franchises. Wonder Woman 3 and Aquaman 2.

Spin-offs are risky. People liked Wonder Woman, not because of the Amazons, but because it's Wonder Woman.

Prove me wrong, WB/DC. But you've had a rough go at it for a while.

@VicSage - I just hate pointless spinoffs, some characters are created to be supportive cast, not everyone needs a solo flick.

Well they're doing the [frick]ing Trench so who knows. You would think they would want to focus on their main roster of fan-favourite characters and heroes but apparently not.

I still don't get how WB comes up with this stuff and why they just don't go all in on their A-heroes

While I doubt this would actually happen, I can say after that beach fight in WW I would be looking forward to this about as much as the Trench spinoff.

If Patty Jenkins is at the helm it could work. She knows by this point the Amazons world better than anyone else.
