Charlize Theron just might be entering the world of Wonder Woman after all.

After scheduling issues made the actress turn down a role in the DC Extended Universe film, it appears that she's very open to appearing in Wonder Woman 2. During a panel at last month's San Diego Comic-Con, Theron addressed the possibility of reuniting with Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins - who previously teamed up with the actress in Monster.

"Look I would love to work with her again." Theron revealed. "I had such an incredible time. I trusted her from the first time I met her. That's a big thing for an actor, to be able to trust your director that way and she just never disappointed. She's incredible so to see her have this moment, I just feel incredibly happy for her."

Considering the success of 2003's Monster - which earned Theron a Best Actress Oscar - a reunion between the two in Wonder Woman 2 feels like a no-brainer. While nothing is currently confirmed, Jenkins appears to agree, judging by a letter Theron was given at the SDCC panel.

"Getting to work with Charlize and what we did together will always be remembered as a great high point of my life." Jenkins explained. "She's a tremendous person, talent, artist, and actor, but also a wonderful and incredibly unique spirit who brings that dynamism to every part she plays. She's hard, yet soft, tough, yet yielding. It was a wonderful and rare gift and I can't wait to work with my friend again one day."

Ultimately, time will tell if Theron is officially cast in Wonder Woman 2. But it's definitely worth noting that both she and Jenkins are on board with the idea.
