The most successful DCEU movie (in the eyes of the fans and critics) is getting a sequel, with Wonder Woman 2 due out November 1, 2019.
While appearing on a Variety podcast, Patty Jenkins offered the following about Wonder Woman 2:
“It’s really still going to other values of hers, and a similar formula insofar as making a great, enjoyable fun movie but that ultimately in its third act turns some very big issues, and a very big experience that will aim to have slightly more weight and profundity than it has to have. Because that’s a formula that I really like, and I like the idea of taking somebody on a very solid, great journey but that arrives at a bigger question being answered. So it’s like that but because she is Wonder Woman and she’s here now and she’s fully developed, it’s got great fun from the start and great big superhero presence from the start, and is funny and a great love story again and a couple new unbelievable characters who I’m so excited about, who are very different than were in the last movie.”
Click-bait websites took Patty Jenkins’ words to mean that Wonder Woman will have a new love interest in the movie, which is not what she says.
Patty Jenkins takes to Twitter to clear things up offering:
Quite a few people, including this headline, seem to be completely misunderstanding or making some pretty false assumptions based on one of many vague quotes I made about something I can’t say ANYTHING about. Just wait. ;
You’ll notice in the first quote that Patty Jenkins doesn’t state Wonder Woman has a new love interesting, just that the movie will have “a great love story again.”
What exactly that means remains to be seen!
