Jenkins stated that she was open to considering anything and everything when it came toWonder Woman 3.However, she knew that she couldn’t have done anything as DC is undertaking huge changes at the moment and she understood how things could’ve been difficult for the executives.
“The attractive clickbait false story that it was me that killed it or walked away started to spread. This is simply not true. I never walked away. I was open to considering anything asked of me. It was my understanding there was nothing I could do to move anything forward at this time. DC is obviously buried in changes they are having to make, so I understand these decisions are difficult right now.”
