‘Wonder Woman 2’ officially dropping December 13, 2019, but where that Jenkins news srsly

Wonder Woman 2 has an official release date. December 13, 2019. Which is awesome, and shit. But as the Justice League trailer reminded us over the weekend, a DCU movie ain’t shit without a competent director. So, like, can we get official confirmation that the director of the *only* good DCU movie will be returning for its sequel?

The Hollywood Reporter:

It’s official: Gal Gadot will return for a Wonder Woman sequel, which has gotten a date from Warner Bros.

Wonder Woman 2, the follow-up to this year’s superhero hit, will be in theaters on Dec. 13, 2019.

Talks with Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins to return are ongoing, and she has not officially been announced as being aboard the project.

Gadot will next appear as Diana Prince in November’s Justice League alongside Ben Affleck’s Batman, Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, Ezra Miller’s Flash and Ray Fisher’s Cyborg in the DC superhero dream team.

Wonder Woman is holding better than any superhero film in more than 15 years at the North American box office. It has grossed more than $389 million at the domestic box office to date and passed Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 over the past weekend.

So far, Wonder Woman 2 is the only new release slated for Dec. 13, 2019. The date announcement comes a week after Warner Bros. set dates for a number of mystery films, including an untitled DC movie for Feb. 14, 2020.

Wonder Woman 2 joins Justice League and Aquaman (Dec. 21, 2018) as the only DC films with release dates. But over the weekend at Comic-Con, Warner Bros. teased its upcoming slate with logos for films including Shazam!(which will be its next film to shoot), Flash movie Flashpoint, The Batman, Batgirl, Justice League Dark, Green Lantern Corps, and Suicide Squad 2.
