“Wonder Woman” will have the third installment

Angels. – The “Wonderful Woman” saga will have a third film that will once again feature Gal Gadot in the lead role and Patty Jenkins as director, Warner Bros. reported today.

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

Warner Bros. said Monday that with this controversial premiere, “Wonder Woman 1984” raised $ 16.7 million in the United States and Canada and a total of $ 85 million globally (€ 69.5 million).

“As fans around the world continue to embrace Diana Prince, with the robust performance of” Wonder Woman 1984 “on the opening weekend, we’re excited to be able to continue her story with our true” Wonder Women “Gal and Patty. , which will return to conclude a long-planned film trilogy, “said Toby Emmerich, who is president of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, today.

The sequel replaces the First World War of the “Wonderful Woman” with 80 years of consumerism and individualism in which Diana Prince (Gadot) leads a relatively discreet life.

But his perspectives change from top to bottom when a very “Reaganian” villain (Pedro Pascal), an envious friend (Kristen Wiig) and some painful memories of the past come his way.

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

Both Gadot and Jenkins defended the Warner Bros. decision. to present this film after the accumulation of three delays.

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

“But we also felt that we did not 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 the option to release the film was brought to the table, both in theaters and on HBO Max in America, it really felt a little special, because the film came out a year ago. He waited 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, especially 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 did,” he concluded.
