Patty Jenkins will return to direct 'Wonder Woman 2'

After giving DC its most successful film "Wonder Woman" this year, Patty Jenkins is officially set to return as director for its sequel.

The director has closed a deal with Warner Bros to helm, co-write and produce the follow-up to the Gal Gadot starrer, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Jenkins will reportedly receive directing and writing fees in the high seven figures (somewhere in the USD 7 million to USD 9 million range).

The sequel was confirmed last month at San Diego Comic- Con and a December 13, 2019 release date was also announced for the same.

Gadot has also been tapped to return for the sequel.
