Going into the weekend, we had a pretty good feeling about how Wonder Woman was going to do at the box office. And we’re happy to say that Wonder Woman far exceeded our expectations to become one of the biggest solo hero debuts in cinematic history. Even before this success, director Patty Jenkins and Wonder Woman herself, Gal Gadot, were signed for the inevitable sequel. Today’s Nerdist News is looking ahead at Wonder Woman 2, and deciphering the somewhat contradictory clues from Jenkins.
Join host and Themyscira’s most feared skee-ball player, Jessica Chobot, as she runs down everything we’ve learned about the Wonder Woman sequel. Almost all of it has come from Jenkins, and her answers have varied from outlet to outlet. For example, Jenkins told Fandango that the next film would explore how Diana first came to America, then she went on to tell The Hollywood Reporter that the sequel would be set in the present. It’s entirely possible that both answers could be true if the next film follows Diana over a long period of time. However, it’s far more likely that the details of the story haven’t fully come together yet.
There is almost a 100 year gap between Wonder Woman’s solo film and her appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which seemed to depict Diana with a much darker outlook. Will we ever discover why Diana briefly turned her back on humanity? And was it the moment that she first read a comment section on the internet? We want to know!
