LOS ANGELES: Filmmaker Patty Jenkins has broken her silence over the reports that she parted ways with Warner Bros. on a sequel to 2020's 'Wonder Woman 1984'.
Jenkins wrote on Twitter, "I never stepped away," reports "Variety."
"I was willing to do anything that was requested of me. I was under the impression that there was nothing I could do to make progress right now. I recognise that these choices are challenging at this time since DC is undoubtedly overwhelmed with the adjustments they must undertake." Jenkins' statement was released about a week after it was initially reported that Warner Bros. executives had rejected her treatment for a third "Wonder Woman" film. This news sparked a wave of speculative discussion about what it might mean for the future of DC.
It also triggered headlines claiming that newly appointed executives James Gunn and Peter Safran had attempted to restructure the movie to fit into the initial plans for DC Studios, but Jenkins had rejected their efforts.
Jenkins claimed that the rumour is "simply not accurate" in her statement, adding, "I'm not one to talk about private work things, but I will not allow errors to continue." After Jenkins posted her story on social media, Gunn defended her and said, "I can attest that all of Peter and my interactions with you were only nice and professional." This was about an hour later. Jenkins added that while she is now actively working on the "Star Wars" movie "Rogue Squadron," she first walked away from the project when she realised that making the movie would put off the release of a third "Wonder Woman" picture.
When I did, Lucasfilm approached me about returning to "Rogue Squadron" after "Wonder Woman 3," and I was honoured to do so, so I agreed, according to Jenkins. "They forged a new agreement with me. In actuality, I'm still working on it, and since then, it has been actively developed. I'm not sure if it will occur or not. We never do until the development process is finished, but I'm excited about the future possibilities." Rogue Squadron was initially intended to be Lucasfilm's first 'Star Wars' feature picture after 2019's 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,' and it was scheduled to hit theatres in 2023 until Jenkins and Lucasfilm announced it in December 2020. Disney, however, formally dropped the movie from its lineup in September.
