I actually think that would be quite jarring and tonally inappropriate considering the first two films in the franchise.
Personally, I would love a narrative where Circe is a cautionary tale of what happens if Diana ever lost hope in humanity. A thin line between love and hate movie, where the onus of the narrative - which is set in present-day - is after more than a 100 years in man's world, does Diana still believe in men's ability to choose good over evil? Circe, in this regard, would serve as a mirror to Diana. Circe, in this film, would be similar to Diana as she was a powerful demigoddess who wanted better for man but eventually grew to despise them as much as Ares did. You could even have an Easter Egg that Ares was somehow responsible for Circe's disillusionment. The emotional climax of the film would be, Diana choosing to continue on with her mission to help man or after a 100 years of seeing the brutality of the world, taking Circe's offer to help her magically return to Themyscira with the understanding that she could never return to man's world.
Vanessa K - Silver Swan - would be a secondary antagonist. Early 20's woman who's faced some horrific trauma as a result of the brutality of man's world, and she wants vengeance against all of mankind by making them suffer as much as she has. Circe used her transmogrifying abilities to transform Vanessa into a body horror, Silver Swan. Vanessa, similar to Diana in Wonder Woman 2017, has lost her innocence. Unlike Diana, this lost innocence fuels her hatred and reinforces her trauma. Ultimately, Swan's hatred of the world is truly a manifestation of her hatred of herself.
The narrative would ultimately be about overcoming trauma, redefining and recapturing one's innocence, and the ability to believe in one's self, so one can continue to believe in the totality of mankind.
Since it's present-day: Diana Prince works at the Lourve, since Vanessa is in the film, Julia can be a coworker of Diana. As an Easter Egg, Donna Milton can also be an assistant to Diana - but this Donna is not a secret identity of Circe - and Veronica Cale could also make an appearance - but not be a villain.
Diana is fully powered throughout the entire film, the sword and shield are never used, Diana can fly, and after the climactic battle with Circe where Diana chooses to stay in man's world, the film ends with Hippolyta and Diana looking up to the same moon and feeling the other's presence. This shows the audience that while Diana is alone, she is still fully loved and embraced.
