Warner Bros. has greenlit a third “Wonder Woman” movie.

“As fans around the world continue to embrace Diana Prince, driving the strong opening weekend performance of Wonder Woman 1984, we are excited to be able continue her story with our real life Wonder Women – Gal and Patty – who will return to conclude the long-planned theatrical trilogy,” said Warner Bros. chief Toby Emmerich.

More to come…

They always fast track sequels, yet here we are still waiting on Aquaman 2, a Cavil Man of Steel follow up, Flashpoint, etc...]

And if it's anything like 84...watch out.

I can’t wait to watch this right after Kelvinverse Trek 4 with Hemsworth returning that was fast tracked after Beyond opened.
It’s obvious this is straight up PR spin.

Since she's working on Star Wars Rogue Squadron set for 2023, which is only 3 years from now, is it possible for a director to handle two big movies at the same time? I honestly don't know, is this common? I imagine a Wonder Woman 3 would be set for 2023 also.

I don't think people understand what a trilogy is anymore. More people from the current generation just saying words.

And the sequel cemented it - the Wonder Woman movies are not a trilogy. There is no overarching connection, and then second one had no links to an overarching struggle or so on. These aren't trilogies. It's just three movies. Full of melodrama.

For anyone that doesn't really understand this - here's an example.

Star Trek The Motion Picture + The Wrath of Khan + The Search For Spock does not = "trilogy"
The Wrath of Khan + The Search for Spock + The Voyage Home = Trilogy

As far as quality? I really liked the first one when it came out, but I've come to realize with hindsight as clarity that I thought the first one was better than it actually is because it surrendered it's social pandering and instead delivered on a likeable female character and relationship. And I was jazzed because of that - that the first Wonder Woman didn't embrace the woke bull $#!( of it's era.

But in hindsight, the first movie isn't that good as a movie. Neither was the second. They aren't bad. But they aren't good and they certainty haven't done any 'trilogy building'.

OMG, lol that was supposed to read "as far as quality" so either the Technodrome Gremlins struck or autocorrect did not do my post a favor hahahahaha

Pretty much every single sequel that has ever been announced while the current movie is barely in theaters... those never happen.

Green Lantern 2 was announced this way, the second Imagi TMNT movie was announced this way, and so on. It's practically the same mentality as when they announce "This is actually the first movie in a TRILOGY!!!" before the box office is even tallied.

As IMJ eloquently explained, calling three singular Wonder Woman movies with no linking arc "a trilogy" just because there are indeed three of them is nonsense. Assuming it happens, it's not a "trilogy", it's JUST a series of three films. There IS a difference.

Although I wouldn't doubt they'll find a way to cram Steve Trevor in yet AGAIN for the third one, just so they can claim that there IS an arc and thus justify calling it "a trilogy".

There's also already some minor but percolating blowback to this announcement and the timing of it. A good number of people saying they may have even already seen enough of Patty Jenkins's "vision" for the character after this one's misfiring.

Hey, this'll be fun. Just to spite someone else, I'm gonna do something I normally refuse to do and post a link, just because I happen to be on the site and have it handy right now! Skip the puff piece and head right to the Comments section for what I mean.

It's just one site but it's consistent with a lot of what I'm seeing elsewhere. And I'll once again reiterate the fact that a good number of these exact commenters really liked the first WW movie, so it's not like they're being "haters". They just didn't like what they saw this time and aren't sure they want to see any more.
