Filmmaker Patty Jenkins has finally issued a statement after DC cancelled the third installment of Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot.
“I never walked away,” Jenkins shared in a post on Twitter. “I was open to considering anything asked of me. It was my understanding there was nothing I could do to move anything forward at this time. DC is obviously buried in changes they are having to make, so I understand these decisions are difficult right now.”
In her statement, Jenkins said that story is “simply not true”: “I’m not one to talk about private career matters, but I will not allow inaccuracies to continue.” Roughly an hour after Jenkins poster her statement, Gunn supported her on Twitter, replying, “I can attest that all of Peter and my interactions with you were only pleasant and professional.”

In her statement, Jenkins also said that while she remains in active development on the “Star Wars” film “Rogue Squadron,” she had initially departed the project after realizing that working on the film would delay a third “Wonder Woman” movie.
“When I did, Lucasfilm asked me to consider coming back to [“Rogue Squadron”] after [“Wonder Woman 3″], which I was honored to do, so I agreed,” Jenkins wrote. “They made a new deal with me. In fact, I am still on it and that project has been in active development ever since. I don’t know if it will happen or not. We never do until the development process is complete, but I look forward to its potential ahead.”
Jenkins’ hopeful tone on “Rogue Squadron,” however, is in contrast to the rest of her statement, which reads as a farewell to the “Wonder Woman” franchise.
“I do not want what has been a beautiful journey with WW to land on negative note,” Jenkins wrote. “I have loved and been so honored to be the person who got to make these last two ‘Wonder Woman’ films. She is an incredible character.”
