“Frankly, I Don’t Understand It”: Gal Gadot’s Scrapped Wonder Woman 3 Gets Candid Reflection From DCEU Star

Connie Nielsen, the DC Extended Universe’s Queen Hippolyta, has admitted she does not understand the decision to scrap Wonder Woman 3. Before Wonder Woman 1984’s 2020 release, director and co-writer Patty Jenkins revealed that she already had plans for a third movie starring Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman set in the present day and a spinoff Amazons movie. Despite Wonder Woman 3 being officially greenlit by Warner Bros. in December 2020, those plans would later fall into disarray as new DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran assumed leadership of the franchise and began planning their DC Universe reboot.
Speaking with Den of Geek, Nielsen admitted her own confusion and frustration over DC Studio’s decision to cancel Wonder Woman 3. Pointing out that the original Wonder Woman made over $800 million in box office returns, and that the movies were made with smaller budgets in comparison to other DC projects, she suggests the decision is leaving “money on the table.” Check out her comments below:

I think it’s crazy. I mean, frankly, I don’t understand it. [Wonder Woman] made $800 million just in the movie theaters, and it has an enormous and passionate, passionate fan base. These are spectacular films, and there’s just no reason I can understand whatsoever for not investing in that. If I were a business person, I would say that’s money on the table. It’s right there. Plus every time we’ve done it, [it was] with budgets that were way smaller than any of the other DC budgets.

What Connie Nielsen’s Comments Mean For The DCU’s Wonder Woman Queen Hippolyta Is Not The Only One Confused About The DCU’s Plans Close While this December’s launch of the animated Creature Commandos show will serve as the official launch of Gunn and Safran’s new DC Universe, most eyes are on the former’s Superman movie as the first true test of their plans for a soft franchise reboot. With characters like John Cena’s Peacemaker and Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller confirmed to be making the jump across from the older DCEU, the exact nature of the relationship between this new version of the franchise, and the one that preceded it, is still confusing to many.
