Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman Future Uncertain Amid DCU Reboot

As the new DC Universe (DCU) takes shape, the future of Wonder Woman remains a bit of a question mark. According to the article, James Gunn has stated that doing something with the character is a priority, but the specific project and timeline are still unknown.

What is known is that Patty Jenkins, who directed the previous two live-action Wonder Woman films, may not be involved in the character's next outing. It was recently reported that Jenkins had a pitch for Wonder Woman 3, but it was killed by the new regime at DC Films, led by Gunn and Peter Safran. This suggests that the decision to not move forward with Wonder Woman 3 was likely more about the overall plan to reboot the franchise rather than any issues with the movie itself.

Despite the uncertainty around her direct involvement with the character, Jenkins remains a talented writer and director, and her skills could still be utilized in some capacity within the new DCU. The article notes that with all the new movies and shows planned for the coming years, the studio will need plenty of creative talent.

In the meantime, Jenkins has kept busy with other projects. She is set to direct one of three upcoming live-action LEGO movie projects, working from a script she co-wrote with former DC Comics chief Geoff Johns. There are also reports that the Star Wars Rogue Squadron project she was previously attached to may be retooled as a Disney+ series, though it's unclear if Jenkins is still involved.

So while the future of Wonder Woman remains uncertain, the article suggests that Patty Jenkins' talents could still find a home in the new DCU, even if it's not directly tied to the iconic heroine.
