As if "Batgirl" being scrapped wasn’t already a big enough DC shakeup for 2022, yesterday brought word that "Wonder Woman 3" has reportedly been canceled. It was among numerous items concerning where we stand with the future of DC media projects that DC Studios’ James Gunn later responded to on social media. However, as far as "Wonder Woman 3" is concerned, apparently, its collapse involved behind-the-scenes issues with Patty Jenkins, the filmmaker behind the first two "Wonder Woman" movies.

After solely directing 2017’s "Wonder Woman," Patty Jenkins both picked up the helming reins again for 2020’s "Wonder Woman 1984" and co-wrote the script with Geoff Johns and David Callaham. Jenkins had once again intended to put pen to paper for "Wonder Woman 3" and reportedly turned in a treatment to Warner Bros. Pictures. However, both Deadline and The Wrap report that studio heads Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy were not impressed with the threequel treatment, with the former publication specifically saying that the pitch “had character arc problems which rivaled that of 'Wonder Woman 1984.'”
