The original Wonder Woman movie received a tonne of accolades from critics and viewers alike and, at the time, had a record-breaking $822.8 million in box office revenue. The sequel had a more decisively unfavourable reception. Its release was timed to the beginning of the COVID-19, which unquestionably presented substantial difficulties. Despite this, considering the popularity of the original, the film's critical and commercial reaction was not as positive as that of its predecessor.

Prequel of Wonder Woman 3 in works 

Aside from Wonder Woman 3, DC Studios is also working on its prequel series dubbed Paradise Lost. It is based on Themyscira, a fictional city in DC Comics, and will take place before Diana's birth. The series "involves all of the darkness, drama, and political intrigue behind this society of only women." The release of Paradise Lost will occur in the first DCU chapter, Gods and Monsters.
