In June 2020, Patty Jenkins had stopped working on the script so she can add the COVID-19 pandemic into the story of the film.[5] Amid rumors of Jenkins losing interest in the series and stating she'd only be interested in continuing for a theatrical release, it was reported that she would indeed return for a third film, which would indeed release in the classic theatrical format.[1]
In January 4, 2022, Gal Gadot revealed in an interview with InStyle Magazine that they were currently developing the script for the third film.[6] In April of 2022, Forbes released an interview with Gadot which stated that Gadot and Jenkins were currently collaborating on the script in London.[7]
In October 7, 2022, Patty Jenkins participated in an interview with the Matera Film Festival where she revealed that she had already finished writing the final scene in the script the week prior.[8]
On December 8, 2022, The Hollywood Reporter reported that the film would not be moving forward, with director Patty Jenkins supposedly having been informed shortly beforehand.[2] According to Deadline, Warner Brothers CEOs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy had shown concerns over Patty Jenkins' pitch, with newly-appointed DC Comics CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran also weighing in with their own notes. Despite being given the opportunity to submit a different pitch, Patty Jenkins decided to leave after expressing her desire to stand firm with her current vision for the character.[9] On December 14, 2022, Patty Jenkins posted a statement on Twitter, refuting the idea that she had walked away from production. According to her, she had no power to move production for the film forward due to necessary changes that were being enacted at DC at that point. Jenkins also affirmed that she had been open to considering anything asked of her for the film.[10]
On August 2, 2023, ComicBook.com released an interview with Gal Gadot where she revealed that recent talks with James Gunn and Peter Safran seemed to indicate that the three of them would collaborate in developing Wonder Woman 3.[3] Gadot made similar comments on at least two separate interviews completed prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike, where she quoted the words stated to her by Gunn and Safran.[11][12]
However on August 10, 2023, Collider.com[13] and Variety reported that the film is not in development, citing anonymous sources that stated that no such promises from Gunn and Safran had been supposedly made to Gadot despite her quotes in recent interviews.[14]
