With Warner Bros.‘ Wonder Woman arriving onto Blu-ray and DVD next week, The Hollywood Reporter has brought word that Patty Jenkins will return to direct Wonder Woman 2! Because Jenkins was only contracted for one movie, which went on to gross a wondrous $816 million worldwide, she was able to leverage a deal making her the highest-paid female filmmaker in history, earning between $7 and $9 million plus a healthy chunk of the back-end gross for the sequel. That seems only fair given that Wonder Woman has outgrossed all three previous DC Extended Universe movies (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad) domestically and is the first to receive critical acclaim.
Previously best known for directing the Oscar-winning Monster and AMC’s The Killing, Jenkins has already begun co-writing the screenplay for Wonder Woman 2 with co-chairman of DC Films Geoff Johns, which she has previously stated will take Diana to America. Gal Gadot has already signed on to reprise her role in the second solo film, which is slated for release on December 13, 2019.

Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.
