Of course, Jenkins has yet to be officially confirmed to direct Wonder Woman 2, though if she does she could become the highest-paid female director in Hollywood.
The first movie debuted in cinemas in June and quickly became a massive success – breaking the record for the best opening ever for a movie by a female director, as well as the best worldwide haul for a live-action movie directed by a woman.
The next movie in the franchise is expected to move events to the '80s and follow a narrative set in the Cold War.
Wonder Woman 2 will hit cinemas on December 13, 2019.
