Margaret Sullavan, "whose marriage headed to the divorce court today" (see [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=48805611&firstvisit=true&src=search&currentResult=8 here] where "today" is 27 Feb 1936). By Mar 1936 she had obtained a "mail-order divorce" from Chihuahua, Mexico (see [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=6494756&firstvisit=true&src=search&currentResult=7]).  A newspaper report at that time, stated that speculation that she and Henry Fonda might re-marry led her, when asked, only to say "maybe".  A follow-up piece stated that this report was very upsetting to her, that she had never said any such thing (see [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=37004376&firstvisit=true&src=search&currentResult=13]).

Louella Parsons was reporting on 24 May 1936 [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=37005202&firstvisit=true&src=search&currentResult=3 here] that "Chatter in Hollywood" was the Henry Fonda and Margaret Sullavan would remarry as soon as her divorce from William Wyler was finalized. (So evidently that Chihuahua divorce wasn't true.) She there states that 'Henry has said again and again that any time she wants to say "Yes" will suit him.'  So if Louella is accurate, it certainly would appear that Henry was carrying a torch for Margaret.

In an article dated 7 Jul 1936 Walter Wanger was announcing that "next June" he hoped to start production on his first Italian picture, probably with Henry Fonda (NYT, 7 Jul 1936).  It is not clear whether this "probably with Henry Fonda" is a direct quote from Wanger, or the opinion of the columnist.
