Wonder Woman is nothing short of a success. Soaring past $750 million at the worldwide box office, the film is the highest grossing movie that's a part of the DC Extended Universe and its director — Patty Jenkins — is giving thanks to one of the people responsible for the growth of the character.
Taking to Twitter, Jenkins thanked Lynda Carter, the actress who portrayed Diana Prince in her first ever live action role in the cult classic Wonder Woman television series of the 1970s.
"Congrats to YOU too. This is all built on the magical legacy you are at the core of," Jenkins said as she responded to a congratulatory tweet from Carter. "Great thanks you Lynda, our sister on the journey."
While wait for an official announcement regarding Wonder Woman 2 — it's a matter of when, not if — you can see Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) team up alongside Batman (Ben Affleck), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), The Flash (Ezra Miller), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) in Justice League.
