Wonder Woman is inching closer and excitement continues to build as more promotional material is being released. Along with the DC fans, director Patty Jenkins is also expressing her absolute excitement about finally releasing the icon’s first solo outing on the big screen.
Jenkins’ love for the character is so massive, that she is already discussing her ideas for a sequel. This first film is obviously exploring her origins as an Amazonian warrior while also dealing with World War I.
While speaking to the Toronto Sun, Jenkins discussed what she would like to explore in another standalone Wonder Woman film:
I’m excited for her to come to America and become the Wonder Woman we are all familiar with from having grown up around her as an American superhero. I’d like to bring her a little farther along into the future and have a fun, exciting storyline that is its own thing. Wonder Woman 1 is so much about her becoming the person she is. I can’t wait to spring forward with who she is and have another great standalone superhero film.
Jenkins’ eagerness to tell more Wonder Woman stories should be exciting to comic book film fans. She is an expert storyteller as exhibited in her film Monster, where she directed Charlize Theron to an Academy Award-winning performance.

Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.
