Well, that didn’t take long. Last month, James Gunn revealed that a new Wonder Woman movie was being written for her DCU debut, and now we know who is behind that script, and she’s a writer with plenty of superhero experience already.
Variety reports Ana Nogueira is writing the new Wonder Woman movie for DC Studios. Nogueira also wrote next year’s Supergirl, and has been tapped to pen the developing Teen Titans project.
Once the script is to Gunn’s liking, the next phase will be finding a director and, of course, someone to play Diana Prince. Sorry, Gal Gadot fans, but she’s no longer rockin’ the Lasso of Truth. Gunn has been open to the idea of casting the red-hot Adria Arjona, who he worked with on The Belko Experiment.
However, Gadot was an extremely popular Wonder Woman, and it wouldn’t be crazy if Gunn offered her a different role in the DCU. That’s what he did for Jason Momoa, who moved from playing Aquaman to taking over as Lobo. Gadot would make a killer Queen Hippolyta, wouldn’t she? Maybe there’s something for Henry Cavill, too?
