The acclaimed Monster director recently helmed the first live-action Wonder Woman movie, starring Gal Gadot as the eponymous DC superhero, which finally hit theaters earlier this year.
Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins is now on the shortlist for TIME’s Person of the Year.
Wonder Woman 2 is slated to begin filming in summer 2018 for a planned November 2019 release, with Gadot reprising her role as Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman released in June 2017 and, against all odds, became the highest-grossing superhero origin movie ever released, both domestically and internationally.
