Fans of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman will take whatever updates they can get on the third movie in the comic book franchise, and the actress herself has recently given a positive update on where the movie is, although it suggests that there will still be quite a wait for its arrival. Gadot was speaking to Forbes when she gave a tiny bit of info about where the movie is sitting right now, and although it was as basic an update as it could be, it at least suggests the film is still on someone’s list of priorities.

Wonder Woman 1984 didn’t exactly set the world alight, making the future of the franchise a little uncertain, but it was revealed soon after the release of the sequel that a third movie would be going into development with Gadot returning in the title role and Patty Jenkins once again in the director’s chair. Whether the film will manage to make up for the very mixed reception of its predecessor is something that only time will tell. She told Forbes:

Wonder Woman has been one of DC’s most popular characters for decades, and having appeared in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League and her two solo movies to date, she is a cornerstone of the DCEU. Like many of the other DCEU characters, the turbulent tale of the Justice League movie seemed to stall some of Wonder Woman’s development as Warner Bros. tried to work out what direction they intended to take their franchise. Many will be hoping that by the time Wonder Woman 3 arrives, they will finally have worked out where they are going.

“We’re talking! We’re actually in the mix of working on the script and getting the third one made, so it’s all wheels are working and turning and I’m super, super excited for the fans to come and watch Wonder Woman 3 once it’s made.”

While we wait for more details on Wonder Woman 3, which is likely not to hit cinemas until 2024 at the earliest considering how early in development it currently is, there is a possibility that Gadot will reprise her role in a cameo in Shazam! Fury of the Gods later this year. Away from the DCEU, Gadot is pretty busy at the moment, having just appeared in Red Notice and Death on the Nile, and currently filming on spy thriller Heart of Stone and Disney’s live-action Snow White.
