Connie Nielsen thinks it’s “crazy” that DC Studios isn’t shifting ahead with Wonder Woman 3: “I really hope they change their minds.”

In a dialog with Den of Geek, Connie Nielsen mentioned it’s “crazy” that Wonder Woman 3 isn’t taking place. As we all know, a 3rd installment of the franchise was within the works, however when James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios, the venture was shelved.

“I think it’s crazy. I mean, frankly, I don’t understand it,” mentioned Nielsen, who performed Queen Hippolyta within the Wonder Woman franchise. “[Wonder Woman] made $800 million simply within the film theaters, and it has an infinite and passionate, passionate fan base. These are spectacular movies, and there’s simply no motive I can perceive in any way for not investing in that. If I had been a enterprise individual, I’d say that’s cash on the desk. It’s proper there. Plus each time we’ve performed it, [it was] with budgets that had been approach smaller than any of the opposite DC budgets.“

Although the primary Wonder Woman film was an enormous success, each critically and commercially, the sequel didn’t attain the identical heights. Wonder Woman 1984 acquired blended evaluations and solely grossed $170 million worldwide, though, to be honest, it was launched in the course of the top of COVID-19.

Still, Nielsen hopes that Wonder Woman 3 will likely be resurrected. “It’s a pity,” Nielsen mentioned. “I really hope that they change their minds, and that they realize this is crazy. This is a billion dollars that is lying on the table. Not claiming those fans and making them happy is something I just don’t really understand at all.” At the second, the one Wonder Woman-related venture in growth for the brand new DC Universe is the Paradise Lost prequel sequence for Max.

Nielsen will subsequent be seen reprising her function of Lucilla in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator sequel. “From legendary director Ridley Scott, Gladiator II continues the epic saga of power, intrigue, and vengeance set in Ancient Rome,” reads the official Gladiator II synopsis. “Years after witnessing the death of the revered hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius (Paul Mescal) is forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist.
