On the heels of what appears to be a solid box office weekend for Aquaman, Gal Gadot announced via Instagram that Wonder Woman 1984 had wrapped production. In her heartfelt post, which you can check out below, Gadot expresses her gratitude towards everyone involved in making the sequel to the commercial and critically successful 2017 film from the DC Extended Universe, especially director Patty Jenkins.
"I'm so lucky to have the one and only Patty Jenkins, as my director," Gadot wrote. "She always has our backs, she gives us the wings to dare, and everyday she helped us find the most creative version of ourselves .. I am so grateful to call her my friend." Whether it's Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese or Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan, you can never underestimate the importance of a rock solid relationship between an actor and their director. In light of the success of Wonder Woman, it was vital for DC to do everything in their power to have Jenkins and Gadot team up for the sequel.
Gal did a brilliant job embodying the role of Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, but that may not have been possible if it weren't for Jenkins' direction, and the faith that they put in one another to make the best possible film. DC has, in turn, further instilled their confidence in Patty by giving her screenplay and producer credits for Wonder Woman 1984.
Wonder Woman 1984 hits theaters on June 5, 2020.
