Rogue Squadron still in active development

Following the recent news about Patty Jenkins' departure from "Wonder Woman 3," the director posted an update on social media to set the record straight:

"I originally left 'Rogue Squadron' after a long and productive development process when it became clear it couldn't happen soon enough and I did not want to delay 'Wonder Woman 3' any further. When I did, Lucasfilm asked me to consider coming back to 'Rogue Squadron' after 'Wonder Woman 3,' which I was honored to do, so I agreed. They made a new deal with me. In fact, I am still on it and that project has been in active development ever since. I don't know if it will happen or not. We never do until the development process is complete, but I look forward to its potential ahead."
