A glass ceiling has definitely been broken. After pulling in $6.7 million at the Australian box office in its opening weekend (and AUD $300 million worldwide) Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins and her star heroine Gal Gadot have confirmed a sequel.
While the second-coming of the unconquerable Princess was quasi-confirmed by writer/producer Zack Snyder in May 2017, new interviews with Jenkins and Gadot have revealed both are contractually obligated to make a second film. “The story will take place in the U.S., which I think is right,” Jenkins told Entertainment Weekly. “She’s a Wonder Woman. She’s got to come to America. It’s time.”
According to other reports Jenkins would like to set the sequel in the 1930s. Seventy-six years after her creation, the film brings to life one of history’s most loved female comic book characters. With it, she breaks DC’s losing streak and is an absolute force to reckoned with, earnestly fighting war with love, a timely notion giving the state of the current world.
Wonder Woman is in Australian cinemas now.
