A new revolution has come to DC. It was to be expected that the change of leadership at the helm of the study would bring changes, but what perhaps no one expected is that the first of them would be the cancellation of ‘Wonder Woman 3’.
Winds of change
That is what is assured from The Hollywood Reporter -and later confirmed by Deadline-, where they affirm that Patty Jenkins recently delivered the treatment for ‘Wonder Woman 3’ that he had written with Geoff Johns and the response you received from James Gunn and Peter Safran is that the project does not fit into his future plans for DC. It is unknown what will be the next step to take with the solo adventures of the superheroine played by gal gadot.
Apparently, the problem was not a question of costs, but that does not mean that in Warner go to save yours with this decision. Apparently, Gadot was going to charge 20 million dollars for the film and Jenkins another 12. Given the catastrophic performance at the box office of ‘Wonder Woman 1984’, it is not hard to understand why this decision was made either.
Also, this could be the first big move for this new version of DC to completely dispense with all the actors who headlined the Snyderverse. There has not been a decision taken, but it could even mean the departure of Jason Momoa like Aquaman. He would be crazy, but he is the one who has the most chances to stay on board.
A particularly complicated case is that of henry cavill like Superman. Let’s remember that the actor only returned because dwayne johnson He managed to change Warner’s mind, because the studio did not want his return. His return was widely applauded and there was general enthusiasm when talk began about ‘man of steel 2’. Initially that was the plan, but the box office flop of ‘Black Adam’ and Gunn and Safran’s new plans have complicated things. And, obviously, it’s also made the chances of a ‘Black Adam’ sequel pretty slim…
Apparently, it will be next week when a meeting takes place that will begin to clarify things a bit, like a cameo that has been filmed for ‘The Flash’ that may have to be eliminated because it includes a promise that they are already beginning to think that they will not want to comply. And then there is the issue that there are several films pending release that could later be a success. What a mess.
