It’s Official, Patty Jenkins Will Direct WONDER WOMAN 2

Wonder Woman was the biggest film of the summer. It was a hit both critically and financially. With a sequel already in the works, and a release date already in place, WB needed to find a director. According to Variety, Warner Bros is bringing back Jenkins to direct the Wonder Woman 2!

The news isn’t much of a surprise, as we knew Jenkins was working on the script with Geoff Johns. It was a lengthy negotiation process, but they finally hammered out a deal. According to THR,  the deal is precedent-setting. Saying: Sources say Jenkins will receive directing and writing fees in the high seven figures (think somewhere in the $7 to $9 million range) on Wonder Woman 2 but, more significantly, will have a considerable backend. (At her peak, Nancy Meyers earned in the $5 million range, according to sources.) The deal is a superheroic leap for Jenkins, who was paid $1 million for directing the initial Wonder Woman but was looking to get something more on the level of Zack Snyder’s pay after he directed Man of Steel, according to sources.

This will make Jenkins the highest-paid female filmmaker in history, and she deserves every penny. For more news on Wonder Woman 2 and all things in DC Entertainment, stay tuned.
