With the movie going well both domestically and internationally, a talk about sequel has been brought up. It was recently reported that director Patty Jenkins and Gadot were "contractually commited to a second film." But there is a question whether Chris Pine, who portrays Steve Trevor in "Wonder Woman", will return in the possible sequel.
Regarding the matter, Jenkins said, "All I can say is it was a dilemma. It's something I hope we don't talk about in the public [because] I want people to see, but it's very hard to know which characters will be in the next movie because of the time period, so it's a big question." Pine, however, would be open for more "Wonder Woman" films, including spin-offs. "The movie's gotta come out, and then we'll see. What about 'Wonder Man'?" teased Pine.
Before she was Wonder Woman she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained warrior. When a pilot crashes and tells of conflict in the outside world, she leaves home to fight a war to end all wars, discovering her full powers and true destiny.
"Wonder Woman" is currently screening at U.S. theaters.
