"Wonder Woman 2" might be seen earlier than expected as Warner Bros. announced its new official release date. However, it looks like producer Brett Ratner will never be involved in the movie sequel after Gal Gadot claimed she would never return to reprise her role if he will still be behind the film.
After being accused of multiple sexual misconduct and harassments, the entertainment company will cut its ties with Ratner's RatPac Dune Entertainment after their contract expires in 2018. The "Justice League" star stands firm against the film producer after the allegations about him emerged.
Meanwhile, in an interview with CBR, veteran producer Charles Roven talked about the making of "Wonder Woman 2." The president and co-founder of Atlas Entertainment revealed they now have the "early blueprint" of the second movie and they already have the time when to make it. "Now!" he said.
He, too, is hoping Gadot will still be loved as Wonder Woman just like how people accepted her in the first movie. With the film's success, it is a big challenge for them to surpass what they have offered and are eager to continue doing it so.
"I think that Patty [Jenkins] and Geoff Johns have started down that road," he teased. Roven even revealed they are now writing "Wonder Woman 2's" screenplay. As he described the upcoming film, it will be "enjoyable and unexpected" to the point that fans will surely be surprised. Although they will take a different direction, he promised viewers will still see the same character they have established from the very start.
Additionally, the movie sequel is now moved from its original December 2019 release date. This move is said to avoid the release of the final installment of "Star Wars: Episode 9," which is set to be out on the same date.
"Wonder Woman 2" is now set to hit the big screen on Nov. 1, 2019.
