Only a couple of days ago, The Hollywood Reporter in their piece speaking with Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins mentioned she was “contractually committed” to make a second film.
However, the outlet has a new bit of reporting that contradicts that previous news.
A $103.2 million domestic opening usually means a sequel is a no-brainer — but director Patty Jenkins has yet to sign on the dotted line for a Wonder Woman follow-up.While star Gal Gadot has an option in place for Wonder Woman 2 as part of her overall deal to appear in several DC movies, Warner Bros. executives enlisted Jenkins for just one film, a decision that could end up costing the studio millions of dollars if Jenkins’ reps drive a hard bargain for her to return.
This means Jenkins is now in a position to ask for more money and creative freedom concerning the sequel. Patty could also get the studio to green light a couple passion projects as well.
