Patty Jenkins Responds To Wonder Woman 3 Cancellation News And Clarifies Her Involvement In Rogue Squadron

By Rose Cooper On Dec 14, 2022

Last week, the shocking news came in that Wonder Woman 3 is no longer moving forward, as it “is considered dead in its current incarnation.” Shortly thereafter, it was reported that Patty Jenkins, the director behind the first two Wonder Woman movies and co-writer on Wonder Woman 1984, had walked away from the threequel due to creative differences. Now the filmmaker has not only responded to this claim, she’s also clarified her involvement with the Star Wars movie Rogue Squadron.

Starting with Wonder Woman 3, it had been said that Patty Jenkins tuned in her treatment to Warner Bros. Pictures, but studio heads Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy were not impressed with the pitch and gave her notes. Jenkins allegedly refused to implement them and then left the project. In her statement on Twitter, the filmmaker laid out that she didn’t leave Wonder Woman 3, but rather was led to believe that there wasn’t anything to be done with moving it forward. In her words:

When there started being backlash about WW3 not happening, the attractive clickbait false story that ideas me that killed it or walked away started to spread. This is simply not true. I never walked away. I was open to considering anything asked of me. It was my understanding there was nothing I could do to move anything forward at this time. DC is obviously buried in changes they are having to make, so I understand these decisions are difficult right now.

As for Rogue Squadron, prior to going over Wonder Woman 3, Patty Jenkins explained that while there was a period where she left the Star Wars movie, she’s now back to working on it, although it’s not guaranteed just yet it will see the light of day. As she put it:

I originally left Rogue Squadron after a long and productive development process when it became clear it couldn’t happen soon enough and I did not want to delay WW3 any further. When I did, Lucasfilm asked me to consider coming back to RS after WW3, which I was honored to do, so I agreed. They made a new deal with me. In fact, I am still on it and that project has been in active development ever since. I don’t know if it will happen or not. We never do until the development process is complete, but I look forward to its potential ahead.

More to come…
