They scared the studio off with WW84. Hollywood needs to learn you can tank an entire franchise if an installment is that bad and WW84 is just that.

I feel safe saying it would make less than 300M worldwide.

Sure Connie, just like Morbius 2 is leaving $2 Morbillions on the table.

Wonder Woman 1 set things up perfectly. WW84 shit the bed. The end.

Love Connie but this is a large dose of copium.

Yeah, I mean what does Warner have to be afraid of? WW84 only failed to break even, no biggie. 😂

It wouldn’t make a billion and Gal Gadot can’t really carry a movie that’s why Chris Pine was brought back in WW 1984. The 2017 Wonder Woman was lightning in a bottle.
When Gunn eventually recasts the role and brings in a fresh new director then there will be potential.

If you cast the rock as Wonder Woman maybe

I used to think Wonder Woman 3 would be a sure hit but after Joker and Aquaman I’m really not sure, anymore.

It’s also an IP that lost all of its goodwill after WW84 and made people dislike Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot as WW
That billion dollars doesn’t exist

Two things. One, WW84 was apparently terrible, such that a third installment is not assured of success. Two, DCEU is dead, and while they could make her a Elseworlds story, it’s probably better for the main continuity to cut as many ties as possible.
If the DCEU had been still a thing, I’d have said “put her in a team-up” and if that one’s good, then bring her back.
Like Captain Marvel (and the side characters in it), they need to have her in ensemble movies to bring back enthusiasm for her. They can’t do that with Gadot’s WW.

DC last year with 4 movies could barely make $975 million, I doubt that any one movie that isn’t The Dark Knight 4 will be able to make a billion anytime soon

>This is a billion dollars that is lying on the table.
Is it though? Not only is the DCEU dead now after a long string of flops, but I’m pretty sure “Wonder Woman 1984” killed a lot of goodwill for Gal Gadot’s version of the character.

Connie it won’t even do 250 at this point

“[Wonder Woman] made $800 million just in the movie theaters, and it has an enormous and passionate, passionate fan base. These are spectacular films, and there’s just no reason I can understand whatsoever for not investing in that. If I were a business person, I would say that’s money on the table. It’s right there.”
She’s just going to ignore ww84 ever happened to make her argument? That’s not how business works, lol

I mean it could be true…in an universe where WW84 wasn’t so disliked (and even hated)
SharkMilk44 on
The second one didn’t even make back its production budget! What the hell is Connie smoking?
sr_edits on
It makes sense she would say that, even though it’s blatantly flase. She would get paid regardless of WW3 failing miserably.

Why not making a musical out of it? (Producers, if you want to give me 1 metric ton of dollars for the idea, I’m here.)

I mean yeah, WW84 did… oh…

Sure honey $1 billion

No. No there isn’t Connie.

A billion dollar superhero blockbuster is now the exception, not the norm.
StreamLife9 on
Agreed.
The fact that WW84 was awful doesn’t mean the franchise is dead.
Ngl if they’ll make a proper good Joker 3 people would go watch it
Hollywood is just extremely fast on shutting down after 1 failure
brunbrun24 on
I love the first and also like the second so I really would have loved to see a 3rd one. But on the age of the cinematic universe and the movies that are just trailers for other movies, this is not possible I guess
Murky_Ad6343 on
Yes, but where’s Devils Advocate 2 Connie? Huh? Us Deviladvocians have literally hundreds of dollars here right on the table.
iamatoad_ama on
Sure, just like the billion dollars that WW84 left on the table.
Turnipator01 on
The first Wonder Woman (2017) struggled to break $700M at the apex of the DCEU’s popularity (I use that term liberally) at a time when female-led superhero films were a novelty.
What makes her think a sequel following on from the disaster that was WW84, with the DCEU’s brand at an all time low and Gal Gadot being universally unpopular, is going to a financial or critical success?
GapHappy7709 on
While WW84 was definitely a victim of the pandemic it likely would’ve only made like 800-900M in normal times. I see no way how a third could only make a billion unless they brought in Circe who is a popular DC villain
edthomson92 on
If it’s great, like best movie of the year great, she’s onto something. But even with that, WB would have to launch one hell of a marketing campaign

DCEU was a mess from the get-go. Better off abandoning everything and starting fresh with the DCU.
