No, I don't think anything of his was used in this. That was like a decade before this film was being prepared and probably all of the people involved had moved on. Also, I'm sorry because I meant Part 2 of what I wrote rather than 3. I'd originally written about his script, then about the movie, and then compared the two and their strengths and weaknesses.
I agree that Gadot would have no problem being the lead in another film and there's obviously going to be a huge audience for it. Apparently it's going to be set in the 80s during the fall of the Berlin wall. Not a great choice for me, given that I will always associate that setting now with Atomic Blonde which really did give us a kickass heroine. Pity it got so little attention, but then Theron played a woman much more in line with Whedon's take on WW.
And yes, I think the bar was set very low. I think that could spell trouble for the sequel because people will expect more of it and the studio will also be expecting a big ROI.
