Does Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman Have a Future in the DCU?

Just a day before the big announcement about the movie being shelved, the lead actor “Gadot Gal” teasingly wrote on her Twitter, “A few years ago it was announced that I was going to play Wonder Woman. I’ve been so grateful for the opportunity to play such an incredible, iconic character, and more than anything, I’m grateful for YOU. The fans. She further added, “Can’t wait to share her next chapter with you.” However, it is unclear if Gadot was aware of the movie being scrapped.

Gadot Gal’s first appearance in the DC Universe was as Diana of Themyscira/Wonder Woman in Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016). After this, she featured in her first massively critical and commercially successful hit film Wonder Woman in 2017. Her character wonder woman was also a part of 2017’s Justice League and 2021’s Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Amid these two, Gadot’s final representation as the Princess of Themyscira came in Jenkins’ 2020 Wonder Woman sequel, Wonder Woman 1984.

DC’s Wonder Woman also made a cameo in Gunn’s 2021 HBO Max series Peacemaker, but Gadot herself did not play the role and was replaced by a body double named Kimberley von Ilberg. She has also been rumored to appear in “The Flash,” although the officials have not confirmed this.

These figures do not include any possible additional bonuses.

James Gunn and Peter Safran’s Future Plans For DCU

Wonder Woman is not the only film that has been scrapped from the DC Universe. James Gunn and Peter Safran’s meeting with David Zalsay scheduled next week will bring in more sad news for DCU Fans as Jason Momoa’s time as Aquaman could come to an end after 2023’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom as his final project. Although this does not mean an end to Jason Momoa’s association with DCU, he is being considered to portray another character under the DC Universe, by the name: Lobo.
