James Gunn responds to Patty Jenkins as she breaks silence over rumors of 'Wonder Woman 3' being axed
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Patty Jenkins finally addressed the elephant in the room when she acknowledged why she left the third installment of 'Wonder Woman 3' refuting some of the reports. She may have taken her sweet time to address her side of the story, but shortly after Jenkins posted the lengthy response, James Gunn co-head of DC Studios was quick to reply to that on social media. Jenkins confirmed she is no longer a part of Gal Gadot starring 'Wonder Woman 3' but refuted the rumors that said it is what ended its future potential. She further went on to acknowledge the massive changes happening at DC, since the arrival of Peter Safran and James Gunn as co-CEOs of DC Studios.
However, 2017's DCEU's 'Wonder Woman' helmed by Jenkins was acclaimed by both critics and audiences and grossed over 800 million dollars worldwide, exceeding box office original predictions. 'Wonder Woman' eventually became the highest-grossing film directed by a woman, surpassing previous record holder 'Mamma Mia!' by Phyllida Lloyd. Furthermore, she also directed the sequel, 'Wonder Woman 1984'; unlike the first film, the sequel received a mixed critical reception and was a box office failure.
