In the more than three years since
Wonder Woman hit theaters, Patty Jenkins has had ample opportunities to reflect on the filmâs legacy.

One disappointment with the finished product ultimately led to a bright spot in
Wonder Woman 1984, though because Patty Jenkinsâ frustration with the original filmâs ending helped inspire the final moments of the sequel.
