Amongst all the issues permeating the DC Extended Universe both in front of the camera and behind it, one of the saga’s biggest success stories is the Wonder Woman franchise. So far, director Patty Jenkins and starring actress Gal Gadot have led the way on two intriguing solo films with a third confirmed to be on the way.
Themyscira has become a highly discussed topic thanks to its portrayal on screen, so much so that fans and actors alike want to see even more of it.
COUNT ROBIN WRIGHT IN ON A THEMYSCIRA MOVIE
In a recent chat with Rotten Tomatoes, Wonder Woman star Robin Wright tackled the idea of a movie in the franchise set completely in Themyscira. While nothing like this is specifically planned at the moment, Wright adamantly said that she “would jump at that in a second” if anything came to fruition:
WARNER BROS, MAKE AN AMAZON MOVIE!
Robin Wright’s Antiope came into 2017’s Wonder Woman as the toughest and most accomplished warrior in Themyscira while she trained a young Diana Prince into much of the hero she became. Unfortunately, she was killed off early in the movie during the battle with German soldiers before she made a short appearance in the opening scene of Wonder Woman 1984 three years later.
A film like this would almost certainly be a prequel to Wonder Woman and could take the time to expand on Diana Prince’s evolution from a young prodigy into a full-blown warrior. There are still plenty of mysteries surrounding the history of Themyscira and its people and an entire movie centered around that world would provide ample storytelling opportunities while not be restricted with the need to connect to other DC projects. Additionally, the Lynda Carter tease from the end of Wonder Woman 1984 opens the door for her character to be explored in the future.
For now, Warner Bros and DC are continuing with the untitled Wonder Woman 3, which doesn’t yet have a release date.
