“Wonder Woman” will have a third installment

Los Angeles. – The “Wonder Woman” saga will have a third film that will again feature Gal Gadot as the protagonist and Patty Jenkins as director, Warner Bros. said in a statement today.

The studio’s announcement came just two days after the release of “Wonder Woman 1984,” a sequel to “Wonder Woman” (2017) and which has been released simultaneously in theaters and on the HBO Max platform.

Warner Bros. said Monday that with this controversial release, “Wonder Woman 1984” has grossed $ 16.7 million in the United States and Canada and a total of $ 85 million globally ($ 69,500,000).

“As fans around the world continue to embrace Diana Prince, with the robust exercise of‘ Wonder Woman 1984 ’on her premiere weekend, we are excited to be able to continue her story with our real‘ wonder women ’ “Gal and Patty, who will return to conclude a long – planned film trilogy,” said Toby Emmerich, president of Warner Bros Pictures Group.

The sequel replaces World War I’s “Wonder Woman” with an 80’s of consumerism and individualism where Diana Prince (Gadot) leads a relatively unobtrusive life.

But their landscape changes from top to bottom when they cross paths with a very “Reagan” villain (Pere Pascal), a friend crossed by envy (Kristen Wiig), and some painful memories of the past.

Much of the conversation surrounding “Wonder Woman 1984” has revolved around the controversial hybrid premiere of the film and the consequences the coronavirus has had in theaters.

Both Gadot and Jenkins defended the decision Warner Bros. made to present this tape after accumulating three delays.

“You know? It wasn’t an easy decision,” Gadot admitted to Efe.

“But we also feel like we didn’t have a better alternative. And it’s interesting because we shot the film in 2018 and obviously we couldn’t have anticipated 2020, but now the film feels more relevant than ever,” he said.

“So when they put on the table the option of releasing the film, both in theaters and HBO Max in the United States, that really felt a little special because the film has been ready already. “It’s been a year. I’ve been waiting for a year to be seen. And the idea of ​​having families watching the movie on Christmas Day fills my heart,” he said.

“So I think, specifically for us, it was the right decision because I’m already at a time when I really want people to see our film and see what we’ve done,” he closed.
