Jenkins also revealed, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the setting for the Wonder Woman sequel. Jenkins said, “the story will take place in the U.S., which I think is right. She’s Wonder Woman. She’s got to come to America. It’s time.” The first Wonder Woman film was a huge box office success, earning $821.8 million worldwide. Pedro Pascal has recently been seen in the spy comedy film Kingsman: The Golden Circle. He is also set to star in directed Antoine Fuqua’s The Equalizer 2.
