Patty Jenkins On When Another Live-Action Wonder Woman Will Be Introduced

Wonder Woman is in high demands following the release of her record-breaking solo film, but don’t expect anyone aside from Gal Gadot to wield the warrior’s lasso of truth. According to director Patty Jenkins, timing will be key when it comes to introducing another live-action Wonder Woman.

Recently, the Wonder Woman director did a round table interview to talk about the film’s home release. Screen Rant was in attendance, and the site heard Jenkins discuss Wonder Woman’s live-action future firsthand.

“I’m sure they want to do it right now, I mean, who wouldn’t want to do Wonder Woman? So I think it’s just – you can only do one at a time, often, I feel so lucky to be the one to be involved with Wonder Woman,” the director explained.

“I definitely think that whatever has been the question about, like, she was great as a TV show, but could she be a movie? That’s obviously now been answered,” Jenkins continued. “And so I’m sure that she will go forward and I just hope she goes forward with her integrity intact.”

While heroes such as Batman have been brought to life dozens of times, Wonder Woman has a different history with live-action romps. The heroine made her first non-print appearance in The Brady Kids back in 1972. A TV movie about Wonder Woman would then be made in 1973, but the heroine did not get her pop culture due until 1975. Wonder Woman was gifted a live-action TV series starring Lynda Carter more than thirty years after Diana Prince was first created. And, just a few months ago, Wonder Woman was brought back into the live-action universe for her first standalone film.

It may have taken decades for Warner Bros. to get Wonder Woman into theaters, but the studio will not want to let her go now. The heroine raked in more than $800 million at the global box office, and Wonder Woman is now the highest-grossing superhero origin film of all-time. There is plenty of money to be found in the Amazon princess, but Warner Bros. would do well not to cash-grab the heroine. The heroine’s legion of Themysciran fans would not stand to see Wonder Woman sell-out.
