Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins confirmed that she's working on a third solo outing for Diana Prince during DC FanDome last month, while strongly hinting that the original small-screen Amazon, Lynda Carter, was set to return as Asteria. Now, star Gal Gadot has made it official.

The Red Notice (you can check out our review here) actress was asked about Carter's potential involvement while chatting to THR, and revealed that the legendary TV star has been mentoring her ever since she landed the role of Wonder Woman.

"First of all, Lynda has mentored me from the very first moment that I got cast as Wonder Woman," Gadot said. "She was always there, talking to me, giving me tips and everything. She's a true champion of what Patty [Jenkins] and I have been doing, and it was so great that we managed to find the right opportunity to bring her to the last movie and now to the third one."

“It’s even better this time. I love her very much. I love her dearly," she added.

Carter made a brief appearance in the mid-credits scene of WW84 as legendary warrior Asteria, who was believed to have been killed when she sacrificed herself in order to allow her fellow Amazons to escape "the tide of man" and settle on the island of Themyscria. Diana donned her golden armor for the final battle against Cheetah.

Very little is known about Warner Bros.' plans for Wonder Woman 3, but after the decidedly mixed response to WW84, we wouldn't be surprised if the studio asked Jenkins to go back to the drawing board on the story outline.

Maybe it's time for a new director on this series, and find an fx team that doesn't make everything look like a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

@Feralwookiee -

Director is great but they need new writers.

Or maybe it was just a bad day at the office💁?

@TyrantBossMedia - as much as I enjoy Mamoa in the role, I think they should eventually reboot his character too.

Both the obligatory third movie of his and Wonder Woman can be released in 2025 (and maybe a Shazam vs. Black Adam movie too). If we're lucky we can get a proper JL movie in... 2027

@TyrantBossMedia - Agreed

mrbioshock1984 - 11/7/2021, 7:24 PM

@bkmeijer - love Jason but he is more Lobo than Aquaman. The JL needs a good reboot and it can start The Batman!

AmazingFILMporg - 11/7/2021, 6:04 PM

Can you confirm the quality of the first film will be back aswell👀?🙁?

I finally finished 84 this morning while washing dishes, and man I could’ve listen to music instead. It was catwoman bad. Stuuuuuuuuupid.

AmazingFILMporg - 11/7/2021, 6:05 PM

@TheWalkingCuban -

It was one of the worst CBM's in recent years.

It was embarrassing

MUTO123 - 11/7/2021, 6:10 PM

@TheWalkingCuban - I haven’t seen Eternals yet, but from what I know; say what you will about that movie, but at least none of the heroes rape anybody in that movie (or maybe they do and nobody’s saying because it’s a spoiler, I don’t know).

TheWalkingCuban - 11/7/2021, 6:12 PM

@AmazingFILMporg - really was, I was honestly like, is this a movie? That got made? And approved? And released? What the heck is going on?!

santoanderson - 11/7/2021, 6:06 PM

So what are the chances they call Wonder Woman 3 “Wonder Women”?

Origame - 11/7/2021, 6:10 PM

@santoanderson - hopefully no chance.

Feralwookiee - 11/7/2021, 6:11 PM

@santoanderson - Or go the Captain Marvel route, "Wonder Woman 3: Wonders".

😐

santoanderson - 11/7/2021, 6:13 PM

@Feralwookiee - Or “The Wonders”. And now I’m thinking about that Tom Hanks 60’s boy band movie.

We're entering the period of CBMs where nostalgia is taking centerpiece

Please be better than the second movie and give carter something to acrually do

In the second she was just exposition to explain the pointless armor
