The entry of James Gunn & Peter Safran in the DC Studios ranks will not only provide promising possibilities regarding the fate of the DCEU films. But it could also be that a number of projects that had been in the works before Gunn’s presence were threatened with cancellation. One of them is the Wonder Woman 3 project.
Reportedly, there are various reasons that make the fate of Wonder Woman 3 unclear or even unclear since Gunn’s presence. In addition, there are sources who say that Patty Jenkins, the director of the two Amazonian hero films. Which we will discuss in the following article.
James Gunn’s entry causes uncertainty about Wonder Woman 3 project
As of December 8, 2022, CNN Indonesia published a report that said the fate of Wonder Woman 3 was on the line amid the changes taking place within DC. Where in November this year, James Gunn and Peter Safran were trusted as leaders of DC Studios.
Soon after the appointment, the two also confirmed that they had made plans for the DC Universe for the next 10 years. This is what CNN Indonesia later said made the film that Patty Jenkins will return to work on not develop.
The Hollywood Reporter page on December 7 also published a report. Which says that the Patty Jenkins project, which will still star Gal Gadot, does not fit into DC’s upcoming new plan.
This information is reinforced by The Hollywood Reporter saying Jenkins has submitted her plans for Wonder Woman 3. Where she wrote the story with Geoff Johns to Gunn, Safran, Warner Bros. Pictures officials Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy.
Finance plays a big role, but it’s not a big problem
Again quoting a report from CNN Indonesia, they said that financial factors were not the cause of the Wonder Woman 3 project stagnating. CNN Indonesia said that DC Studios would not actually have significant financial problems.
However, they are said to be able to save tens of millions of dollars if they don’t make Wonder Woman 3. The source said Gal Gadot is expected to earn 20 million dollars to star in the third film. Meanwhile, Patty Jenkins will get paid 12 million dollars. This figure is still outside the bonuses that they will both receive.
