With the changing cinema landscape amid the coronavirus pandemic, director Patty Jenkins says it is "questionable" whether a third film in the "Wonder Woman" franchise will be made following Warner Bros' decision to opt for a theatrical-and-digital model to release its films. 
 
Earlier this month, Warner Bros, the studio behind DC's "Wonder Woman" movies, announced a "unique one-year plan" as a strategic response to the impact of the pandemic, particularly in the US, where its entire slate of films for the year 2021 will be released both theatrically and on its streamer HBO Max. 
 
Gal Gadot-starrer "Wonder Woman 1984", a sequel to 2017 blockbuster "Wonder Woman", will debut on HBO Max as well as movie theatres on Christmas in the US. 
 
Jenkins, who also directed the original, said she would love to come back for a third installment only when Warner Bros "goes back to being a full theatrical studio". 
 
"Before the pandemic, the world would have gone along. We probably would have even made a deal for 'Wonder Woman 3' and figured out when and how I could fit that into my schedule. 
 
"Now it all really is much more questionable whether we will do it at all and how we will do it. So, that's going to be an interesting thing. I would still love to do it but only (if) Warner Bros goes back to being a full theatrical studio," the director told PTI in an exclusive telephonic interview from Los Angeles. 
 
Like all industries, entertainment too bore the brunt of the health crisis with productions halting and theatres shut earlier this year everywhere. Many studios postponed the releases, went the digital way or took the hybrid route of virtual-and-selected theatrical screenings, like "Wonder Woman 1984". 
 
Asked if the pandemic had altered the cinema experience, Jenkins said COVID-19 has been a "nail in the coffin of things that some people wanted to change". 
 
"However, I don't think this is a done deal. People love the theatrical experience and I feel like there's going to be an interesting backlash from a lot of artistes in the filmmaking community, including myself, to just changing things for the sake of it. A lot of us are going to fight pretty hard to go back to the theatrical experience only when this is over," she added. 
 
Directors Christopher Nolan, whose latest movie "Tenet" was released by Warner Bros in theatres, and Denis Villeneuve, whose upcoming "Dune" is among 17 films that are set to be available both theatrically and on the streamer, have criticised the studio for the decision. 
 
This line-up that Warner Bros plans to release in 2021 will be available to HBO Max subscribers for 31 days in the US. After the one-month mark, the films will only play in theatres. 
 
The studio had originally dated Villeneuve's "Dune", which is an official adaptation of author Frank Herbert's classic 1965 novel, for December 18 this year but the pandemic forced it to postpone the release to October 1, 2021. 
 
Other big-budget tentpoles that are part of the studio's list are "The Suicide Squad", monster movie "Godzilla vs Kong", and Keanu Reeves-starrer "The Matrix 4". 
 
Meanwhile, "Wonder Woman 1984" is slated to be released in Indian theatres by Warner Bros on December 24 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. It also stars Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Chris Pine, Robin Wright and Connie Nielson. 
 
Presented by Warner Bros Pictures, the film is an Atlas Entertainment/Stone Quarry Production.&nbsp;

Patty Jenkins on 'Wonder Woman 3' future: Much more questionable whether we will do it at all and how

The first trailer of 'Wonder Woman 1984' is here and it is just how we had expected it to be- mindblowing! Gal Gadot reprises the role of Diana Prince, who in the new movie rekindles with an old love and has a face off with two new enemies.&nbsp; 
 
The trailer was unveiled by the film's director Patty Jenkins at &nbsp;Comic Con Experience (CCXP) in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Sunday.&nbsp; 
 
The second film in the hit franchise picks up almost 70 years after the original film. The trailer shows Wonder Woman living a lonely life in 1984, where she has lost friends and her love but continues to do her duty and protect the world. It also introduces a new character- Cheetah who has been part of the comic series. Actress&nbsp;Kristen Wiig will be seen essaying Cheetah in the film.&nbsp; 
 
Things change soon after, as the trailer indicates, as Diana is not only reunited with old love but also has to step up and fight evil forces.&nbsp;

Inspired by the DC comic book heroine created by William Moulton Marston in the 1940s Wonder Woman made her big-screen debut in 2016's 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice', followed by 2017's 'Justice League'.&nbsp; 
 
The two films failed to create any impact at the box office, so when Jenkins took on 'Wonder Woman's' origin story in 2017, it was a conscious decision to move away from the grim humorlessness and dark sensibility of those earlier films, bringing a brighter energy and wit to her tale, along with the usual action. And the decision literally paid off as 'Wonder Woman' went on to gross $821 million worldwide, and earned critical raves, making it the most successful DC film so far.&nbsp; 
 
Earlier, Gadot had tweeted the teaser of the film on Saturday. In June, the poster of the film was unveiled by the makers. The poster featured Gadot as the fierce Amazon warrior Diana Prince, decked up in a golden body armour standing against a neon-hued backdrop.`Wonder Woman 1984` is scheduled to hit the theatres on June 5, 2020.

Veteran producer Charles Roven said his much-awaited film 'Wonder Woman 1984' is not a conventional sequel.&nbsp;Roven said the film, which stars Gal Gadot as the titular character, is a next iteration of 'Wonder Woman', which released in 2017.&nbsp; 
 
"(Director Patty Jenkins) was just determined that this movie should be the next iteration of Wonder Woman but not a sequel. And she's definitely delivering on that. It's a completely different time frame and you'll get a sense of what Diana/Wonder Woman had been doing in the intervening years. But it's a completely different story that we're telling. 
 
"Even though it'll have a lot of the same emotional things, a lot of humour, a lot of brave action. Tugs at the heart strings as well," Roven told Vulture magazine.
