Patty Jenkins Talks Amazon Olympics and The Future of Wonder Woman

As we all wait for Wonder Woman 1984 to finally hit theaters, we can enjoy some promotional photography. Along with behind the scenes exclusive details, shared by director Patty Jenkins herself. In a new piece by Empire, we find out that audiences will travel back to Themyscira for some flashbacks. One which will feature the Amazon Olympics. A scene that Jenkins is very excited to share with the world.

“What I love about the Amazon Olympics is everything that we got to really celebrate in the first movie. Here are these people who are incredibly powerful and capable, but different in how they approach things. If you’ve been training for hundreds of years because of an impending invasion, you’re going to be constantly working on all these skill sets. So, to me, every year, they would have these Olympics to see who’s doing the best on horses or swimming the fastest, and seeing new tricks people have figured out.”

Jenkins then commented on the future of Wonder Woman:

“You’re enjoying the movie you’re making and also reflecting on what could be different or better in the [real] world. And therefore, what story you want to tell. That’s the greatest thing to me about superhero stories. You’re able to have a dialogue about what a hero would be right now. So yes, I have ideas for what I’d like to say, and Gal does too.”
