DC is experiencing a major shakeup under the helm of new co-heads, James Gunn and Peter Safran, and this will reflect on the future of many highly-anticipated projects. Wonder Woman 3 is the first upcoming DC film to get the boot under the new DC administration.

This cancelation comes as quite a shocker because it comes only a day after the titular star Gal Gadot shared a hopeful tweet about the future of the Wonder Woman franchise. She concluded her tweet by writing, “can’t wait to share her next chapter with you”, but it quickly turned out we won’t be getting a new chapter of Diana Prince’s story.

This decision caused so much confusion that Gunn couldn’t help but react, saying he and Safran were aware they were coming into a fractious environment when they agreed to take over DC Studios.

“We know we are not going to make every single person happy every step of the way, but we can promise everything we do is done in the service of the STORY & in the service of the DC CHARACTERS we know you cherish and we have cherished our whole lives,” wrote Gunn on Twitter.

Wonder Woman and its sequel Wonder Woman 1984 were both directed by Patty Jenkins, with Gal Gadot in the lead role, jointly grossing almost $1 billion worldwide.

For the first time in 59 years films helmed by actresses topped the box office.

The women of Hollywood made history this year as the most popular films of 2017 in North America featured female leads.

Topping at number one was the latest installment of the Star Wars franchise Star Wars: The Last Jedi with whopping $533.1 million at the box office. The second largest grossing film was Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast and closing the top three was DC Comics’ Wonder Woman with $504 and 412.6 million respectively.

According to box-office, female led films were top three was back in 1958 with South Pacific, Auntie Mame, and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

The Last Jedi was dubbed the most feminist of the Star Wars franchise yet, with strong female roles including trainee Jedi Rey (Daisy Ridley) and the late Carrie Fisher in her final performance as Princess made General, Leia.

The live-action remake of the 1991 Disney hit starred Emma Watson as Bell. While a Disney princess, she takes charge of her destiny and refuses to conform to social dictates and in essence turning a beast into a love stricken puppy.

Finally, Wonder Woman doubly succeeded as a female-led film. Starring newcomer Gal Gadot who portrayed a role model heroine, Wonder Woman is also the highest-grossing live-action movie ever directed by a woman, Patty Jenkins.

Hopefully powerful portrayals of female characters isn’t a fleeting moment but rather a new Hollywood zeitgeist.

Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins took to Twitter on Thursday night to respond to James Cameron’s criticism on the female superhero film.

“James Cameron’s inability to understand what Wonder Woman is, or stands for, to woman all over the world is unsurprising as, though he is a great filmmaker, he is not a woman,” Jenkins wrote. “Strong women are great. His praise of my film Monster, and our portrayal of a strong yet damaged woman was appreciated. But if women have to always be hard, tough and troubled to be strong, and we aren’t free to be multidimensional or celebrate an icon of women everywhere because she is attractive and loving, then we haven’t come very far have we.”

She added, “I believe women can and should be everything just like male lead characters should be. There is no right and wrong kind of powerful woman. And the massive female audience who made the film a hit it is, can surely choose and judge their own icons of progress.”

Cameron expressed that Hollywood’s “self-congratulatory back-patting” over Wonder Woman “has been so misguided,” during a recent interview with The Guardian.

“I’m not saying I didn’t like the movie but, to me, it’s a step backwards,” he explained, comparing the heroine to his Terminator’s female character Sarah Connor.

“Sarah Connor was not a beauty icon,” he shared. “She was strong, she was troubled, she was a terrible mother, and she earned the respect of the audience through pure grit. And to me, [the benefit of characters like Sarah] is so obvious. I mean, half the audience is female!”

According to ET, Jenkins is presently in negotiations to direct the sequel of Wonder Woman, which is set to release on Dec. 13, 2019. Since the release of the DC Comics and Warner Bros. movie in June, the blockbuster has been breaking records and is now the highest grossing live-action film ever directed by a woman.

“Thanks to ALL of you for making #WonderWoman a success,” Gal Gadot wrote on Instagram. “Wonder Woman has the best fans in the world.”

DC is experiencing a major shakeup under the helm of new co-heads, James Gunn and Peter Safran, and this will reflect on the future of many highly-anticipated projects. Wonder Woman 3 is the first upcoming DC film to get the boot under the new DC administration.

This cancelation comes as quite a shocker because it comes only a day after the titular star Gal Gadot shared a hopeful tweet about the future of the Wonder Woman franchise. She concluded her tweet by writing, “can’t wait to share her next chapter with you”, but it quickly turned out we won’t be getting a new chapter of Diana Prince’s story.

This decision caused so much confusion that Gunn couldn’t help but react, saying he and Safran were aware they were coming into a fractious environment when they agreed to take over DC Studios.

“We know we are not going to make every single person happy every step of the way, but we can promise everything we do is done in the service of the STORY & in the service of the DC CHARACTERS we know you cherish and we have cherished our whole lives,” wrote Gunn on Twitter.

Wonder Woman and its sequel Wonder Woman 1984 were both directed by Patty Jenkins, with Gal Gadot in the lead role, jointly grossing almost $1 billion worldwide.
