James Gunn confirms news of 'Wonder Woman 3'
James Gunn officially confirmed that the third 'Wonder Woman' is already in the works! The director confirmed the news during a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. He stated that while the process is 'slow-moving', it is still moving.
DC fans have been awaiting news of the new instalment for a while.
Gunn stated during the interview that "We're working on Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman's being written right now."
While recalling the production studio's CEO David Zaslav's statement on the characters of Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, and Supergirl being the 'anchors of DC', he stated, "I think that's accurate, actually." He also confirmed that the 'Wonder Woman' films are completely separate from the 'Paradise Lost' TV series as well.
"I think that he got that from something I said. I wouldn't say only those four characters, but I would say that those four characters are incredibly important to us. "Right now, I feel great about where two of those characters are, and then we're dealing with the other two," the director added while talking about the main characters of DC.
New 'Superman' film already in the works? Gunn drops hints
During the same interview, Gunn dropped hints about the 'Superman' sequel, citing that the next film will not follow the 'traditional route'.
When asked about the next film, he stated that 'What I'm working on is in some way… I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes. But is it a straight-up Superman sequel? I would not say necessarily.'
Soon after his statement was made public, fans of the DC universe started speculating that the possibility of the Dark Knight making an entry in the sequel may be a possibility. While Superman and Batman tend to keep to themselves when fighting crimes, in the comics there is a separate series titled 'World's Finest' where the two characters often pair up to fight villains that are bigger than themselves.
