Although it was confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con last month that there would be a Wonder Woman sequel, it was not known if Jenkins would return to direct. But, it looks like things are looking up.
According to Deadline, a deal is currently in final negotiations between Jenkins and studio execs that, if completed, it will make her the highest-paid female director in Hollywood.
A source revealed to ET in June that Jenkins would work on a sequel script, even in the off chance that she didn’t return to direct.
“The story will take place in the U.S., which I think is right,” Jenkins told EW at the time. “She’s Wonder Woman. She’s got to come to America. It’s time... It’s a beautiful story to tell, an important time to tell it and with people that I love.”
