I should have been clearer. I meant as far as directing goes. I would be alarmed if I were Patty if I went from 3 potentially huge movies as director to one. I am no insider, but I do think there's a question if the response to WW84 is impacting these decisions. That's why I mentioned I would love an interview with Jenkins. I would love to know how she feels about the response of WW84 and where she is in the industry right now versus where she was after WW2017.
It's also why I mention I'm happy she is able to give WW3 her full devotion. I am speculating that WW3 can be a major return to Saint Patty of 2017, or it could confirm her exile. At the very least, make it more difficult for her to move forward if WW3 does not connect with the audience.
I do think Jenkins has one good thing on her side. At least from what I can determine - and of course this is no way empirical research - it does seem like people want WW3 to be great and successful. While WW84 did not hit the mark for many, on Reddit, Twitter, and on here, I see people still want WW3 and are still connected to the brand. Jenkins just needs to deliver a film that makes audiences happy.
I hope she can as I do still love her vision for both movies, and I would like to support her in the future.
