And while its unclear what project Jenkins will go to next, a fellow member of the DCEU family has expressed his interest in teaming up with her on a film.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson – who is set to play the villainous Black Adam in the DC Cinematic Universe – is also working on Jungle Cruise, an action-adventure film based on the Disney Parks ride. And according to a recent report from the AP, Johnson would love to have Jenkins helm the film.

“Patty has that really cool edge.” Johnson said. “I felt like she could be a really cool choice for a movie like Jungle Cruise. Plus, you know what? I’m just a big fan.”

It’s unclear if Jenkins has any interest in the film, but the endorsement from Johnson would certainly help her cause. And having both of their names attached to the project would do a lot to reassure Disney fans that the property is in good hands.

Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powersโ€ฆand her true destiny.

Joining Gadot in the international cast are Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, David Thewlis, Danny Huston, Elena Anaya, Ewen Bremner and Saรฏd Taghmaoui. Patty Jenkins directs the film from a screenplay by Allan Heinberg and Geoff Johns, story by Zack Snyder and Allan Heinberg, based on characters from DC Entertainment. Wonder Woman was created by William Moulton Marston.
