James Gunn’s DCU has already recast Superman, and Jason Momoa won’t be playing Aquaman anymore. We kind of have an idea where Batman will show, The Brave & the Bold, but what’s up with Wonder Woman? While some fans have hoped Gal Gadot would make the leap and continue on, that’s unlikely to be the case. And as for a new movie? Well, Gunn says that’s in the works right now.
Gunn recently spoke with EW about his upcoming Superman movie, and also dropped some details on Wonder Woman. As for as the Amazonian series set on Themyscira, he said development on that is “slow moving, but it’s moving”, which sounds like it’s still very far away. As for as a new Wonder Woman film? He says that’s “being written right now.”
The previous Wonder Woman films starred Gadot and were directed by Patty Jenkins. The first, released in 2017, was one of the few outright box office and critical hits for he Snyderverse era. The sequel, 2020’s Wonder Woman 1984, wasn’t as well-received and was hampered by the pandemic and a simultaneous release on HBO Max. A third film was in the works with Gadot and Jenkins that was axed when Gunn took over as co-chief of DC Studios. With Momoa taking the role of Lobo, it’s always possible Gadot returns as a different character.
Wonder Woman is part of DC holy trinity. If there are going to be plans for a Justice League film down the line, the character has to be there. Don’t be surprised if we hear rumblings of a rising star actress eyeing a seat piloting the invisible jet.
