Director Patty Jenkins teases the possibility of Wonder Woman 4, despite filming on Wonder Woman
3 having yet to begin. Having joined the DC Extended Universe back in 2016's Batman V Superman:
Dawn of Justice, Gadot's Wonder Woman, otherwise known as Diana Prince, has already established
her position as one of the DCEU's heavy hitters.
Her two standalone appearances, Wonder
Woman and Wonder Woman 1984, have enjoyed considerable success with their respective 2017 and
2020 releases.
While the audience's reception of Wonder Woman 1984 was somewhat less
favorable when compared to that of its predecessor, it wasn't long before confirmation came that
Wonder Woman 3 was in the works, with Jenkins set to return once again to round out her trilogy.
While details surrounding Wonder Woman 3 have been sparse, small updates have been provided
sporadically from both the director and Gadot herself, with both having expressed their mutual
excitement to continue Diana's story. Earlier this year, Gadot shared that Wonder Woman 3 could
begin filming at some point in 2023, though any official timeline for the film's production or
release has yet to be confirmed.
During a recent appearance at Matera Film Festival, Jenkins opened up about how each Wonder
Woman film has spurred on her desire to continue Diana's story further, despite having initially
only planned to do one film.
While confirming that she now has a completed script for Wonder Woman 3, the director shared
that this trend had continued, as she is now interested in exploring Diana's story past the
events of this third installment. Jenkins quickly added that she has a number of other projects
on the horizon that she is also excited to work on, though this quick tease of the possibility
of Wonder Woman 4 did not go unnoticed. Check out Jenkins' full quote below.
Given the success of the previous Wonder Woman films, it’s likely that DC is far from finished
with the exploration of Diana Prince’s story, even despite the fact that former Warner Bros.
chairman Toby Emmerich previously stated that Wonder Woman 3 will serve as the finale of Gadot
and Jenkins' "long-planned" Wonder Woman trilogy.
This is not the first time that Jenkins has teased that she has more stories in mind for just
how Diana’s story could continue on past the events of Wonder Woman 3, although similarly to
these new comments, Jenkins also previously stated that these may or may not happen under her
direction.
