Wonder Womandirector Patty Jenkins has said her previously canceled Star Wars movie is back on – but fans aren’t so sure it will happen.
“When I left Star Wars to do Wonder Woman 3, and I started working on that, we talked about, ‘Well, maybe I’ll come back to Star Wars after Wonder Woman 3,’ so we started a deal for that to happen,” Jenkins said on theTalking Pictures podcast(H/TIGN). “When Wonder Woman 3 then went away,Lucasfilmand I were like ‘Oh, we’ve got to finish this deal.’ We finished the deal right as the strike was beginning, so I now owe a draft of Star Wars.”
“They have a hard job in front of them of, ‘What’s the first movie they’re going to do?'” she added. “They have other directors who have been working, but I am now back on doing Rogue Squadron. We’ll see what happens. We need to get it to where we’re both super happy with it.”
Wonder Woman 3 was canceledas the new DCU moved ahead – and it looks like no originalJustice Leagueactors will be back for the fresh universe, either, so Gal Gadot won’t return as Wonder Woman.
However, fans aren’t convinced the film will actually be released. “This will get canceled,“says one person, quite simply.
“I’ll believe it if the film actually ever sees the light of day,“says another person, while thisconfused fansays: “I don’t know what to believe anymore.”
