Patty Jenkins is returning for the 'Wonder Woman' sequel
Lightning doesn't strike twice, but Hollywood is all about trying to repeat the magic when it can. After the wild success of Wonder Woman, Warner Bros. has struck a deal with director Patty Jenkins to return for the sequel, per Variety.
According to the site, Jenkins was already working on the script for the 2019 film when WB sealed the deal, so get ready for Jenkins' creative mark to be stamped all over this sequel.
Jenkins has been in talks to direct the sequel ever since Wonder Woman premiered in June, and with the film's box office performance and early Oscar buzz, it was all but inevitable Jenkins would return.
Wonder Woman 2 is scheduled for release in December 2019.
