With Wonder Woman 1984 a few days away from its release, there is a level of uncertainity within the future of the series. Director Patty Jenkins says she’ll follow Wonder Woman 1984 with a third movie under the right circumstances. Those right circumstances are Warner Bros. guaranteeing Wonder Woman 3 a theatrical release model. In an interview with The New York Times, Jenkins stated,
“We’ll see what happens. I really don’t know,”
“I know that I’d love to do the third one if the circumstances were right and there was still a theatrical model possible. I don’t know that I would if there wasn’t.”
“I would like to believe that it is temporary, but I’m not sure I do. But I’ll tell you, some studio’s going to go back to the traditional model and cause tremendous upheaval in the industry because every great filmmaker is going to go work there,”
“And the studios that make this radical change [of moving their theatrical releases to a streaming service], particularly without consulting the artists, will end up with a very empty slate of quality filmmakers working there.”
Wonder Woman 1984 hits theaters and HBO Max on Friday.
