Jenkins, who directed the first two Wonder Woman films, spoke at the DC event on the character's meaning to her and other themes. However, in a major update, she focused on the upcoming Wonder Woman film. She said,

"We're super excited about Wonder Woman 3. Gal, who's so bummed not to be here, who's the busiest person in the world, with now three little kids and shooting, so she was so bummed not to be able to be here. But we are all, three, very excited about some exciting things coming up with Wonder Woman 3."
