Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins already knows in her mind how Wonder Woman 3 will end.
The sequel to the first Wonder Woman movie might still be a year away, but Jenkins already has plans for the film after that. The first sequel will be titled Wonder Woman 1984 and will follow our eponymous superhero in the ’80s.
Jenkins has admitted that her desire to tell the story of Wonder Woman in the ’80s was largely driven by the fact that this was the era when she herself became a fan of the comics. Speaking with Vanity Fair, she shared a little info on what she was like back then.
“I was in seventh grade or sixth grade, and . . . I became a punk rocker right around there, I was in the American hardcore scene,” she said. “It was the Bad Brains and Minor Threat and Hüsker Dü . . . there were all kinds. The Replacements. I was knee-deep in all of that.”
When discussing the future of the franchise, Jenkins revealed that she has a “great passion” for Wonder Woman and already knows the story she wants to tell.
“I have pretty clear plans for Wonder Woman 3,” Jenkins said. “Whether I [direct] it or not, I see how her arc should end in my incarnation of Wonder Woman. I have great passion for that.”
Wonder Woman 1984 will be released in the US June 5 2020.
