James Gunn is going for a complete revamp at DC Studios, yet he’s chosen to retain some fan favorites including Gal Gadot. Although the director’s vision for aWonder Womanfilm remains unclear, it is confirmed that theFast Fiveactress will not share the same fate as Henry Cavill or Ben Affleck. Fans have welcomed this decision, though they harbor doubts about the trajectory of the established Wonder Woman character.
Taking the reins of DC Studios in November 2022, James Gunn and Peter Safran opted to replace the DCEU, which was producing low-quality outputs, with a new DC Universe (DCU).

Gal Gadot Is Confirmed To Be DCU’s Wonder Woman
BothGal GadotandJames Gunnhave confirmed the return of theRed Noticeactress to the DCU. Regrettably, Patty Jenkins, the director behind the twoWonder Womanfilms, was no longer retained by the studios. In a conversation with Flaunt, theDeath On The Nileactress recounted her meeting with Gunn and Safran:
“They told me, ‘You’re in the best hands. We’re going to develop Wonder Woman 3 with you. [We] love you as Wonder Woman— you’ve got nothing to worry about”
But neither Gunn nor the Studio has confirmed any news about makingWonder Woman 3. In fact, theGuardians of the Galaxydirector may create a new story arc for Wonder Woman to fit his distinctive DCU vision. Gunn has, however, greenlit an HBO Max prequel series titledParadise Lost,offering an origin story for Themyscira, also known as Paradise Island, the land of the Amazonians.

Gal Gadot Remains While Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck Exit
While Gal Gadot’s retention has been met with fan approval, there is mass disapproval for DC Studios’ decision to part ways withHenry CavillandBen Affleck. Both actors followed in the steps of theirBatman v Supermandirector,Zack Snyder. It appears Cavill and Affleck will always be Snyder’s Superman and Batman.
However, another reason for retaining Gal Gadot over her co-stars may lie in the fact that her portrayal of Wonder Woman was unanimously welcomed, making it a challenge to replace her. Cavill faced criticism for embodying a darker and grim Superman, whereas Affleck’s Batman was considerably more mature, which failed to resonate with certain sections of the audience.
