I was like, you don't have to do this. It doesn't have to be a foregone conclusion that you do Wonder Woman 2. But then as I was falling asleep I had an epiphany. I was like, Wait a minute. You have the greatest character of all time that you love dearly, with a cast that you love sitting at the palm of your hand at this day and age -- you can do whatever you want with them -- are you crazy? And then I suddenly realized, it's not more, it's another movie. It's its own movie. And it's got to be great."

On June 13th, 2018, star Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins tweeted ^[3][4] photographs from the sequel and announced the title: Wonder Woman 1984 (shown below).
