Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, who is currently writing its sequel alongside Geoff Johns and Dave Callaham, has responded to headlines stemming from recent comments she made in an interview with Collider. More specifically, Jenkins teased "a great love story again," which sent the internet into a whirlwind of reactions, both positive and negative.
Looking to put to rest some of the speculation surrounding Diana Prince's possible love interest, Jenkins took to Twitter to set the record straight.
"Quite a few people, including this headline, seem to be completely misunderstanding or making some pretty false assumptions based on one of many vague quotes I made about something I can't say ANYTHING about. Just wait. ;)
But p.s. still enjoyed the article, and don't blame the writer for the assumptions that follow."
In fairness to Collider - and Jenkins seems to understand this - the assumption was made form a direct quote, and obviously the "love story" angle was the most intriguing aspect of what she said. For context, here's Jenkins' full original quote, so you can decide for yourself how to interpret what she said.
“It’s really still going to other values of hers, and a similar formula insofar as making a great, enjoyable fun movie but that ultimately in its third act turns some very big issues, and a very big experience that will aim to have slightly more weight and profundity than it has to have. Because that’s a formula that I really like, and I like the idea of taking somebody on a very solid, great journey but that arrives at a bigger question being answered. So it’s like that but because she is Wonder Woman and she’s here now and she’s fully developed, it’s got great fun from the start and great big superhero presence from the start, and is funny and a great love story again and a couple new unbelievable characters who I’m so excited about, who are very different than were in the last movie.”
Wonder Woman 2 is scheduled to release November 1, 2019.
