Although the Wonder Woman films starring Gal Gadot have been put on hold, DC Studios CEO James Gunn has confirmed that Diana Prince hasn’t been forgotten amid the DC Universe overhaul. Ever since it was announced that Henry Cavill would no longer be playing Superman, the sequel to DC’s former cast has been a hot topic. We don’t yet know what will happen to Gadot, but here’s what Gunn has to say about Wonder Woman.
New News About DC and the Future of Wonder Woman
Gunn just shared on Twitter a positive update on Wonder Woman’s future in the DC Universe, saying the character will be coming soon, even if Gadot’s Wonder Woman 3 will never come to fruition. The CEO said the superheroine was part of his long-term plans and that he would be back sooner than anyone imagined.
Being one of DC’s key characters, it was clear that Diana Prince had to play a key role in the studio’s plans. Gunn knows this very well, since Batman and Superman already have new projects announced, Superman: Legacy and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Wonder Woman forms the famous DC trinity with these two heroes, so she couldn’t be outdone.
How does Wonder Woman fit into James Gunn’s new universe?
Gunn recently revealed the first plans that will launch the new phase of DC. Among them is Paradise Lost, a Wonder Woman prequel that tells the story of the Amazons on the island of Themyscira years before Diana was born. It will be an HBO original series and will have an air of Game of Thrones, showing how the society of the Amazons and the House of Diana came to be.
A lot of people have complained about the version of the villain Ares that appeared in the first Wonder Woman. Paradise Lost gives a chance to correct this mistake and build a new world for Dianafull of many other mythological creatures, which were forgotten in Wonder Woman 1984. Being a series in which Diana will not appear, it remains to be seen whether Gunn will keep Gadot on his staff or if he will follow the same process that with Henry Cavill and He will be looking for a new actress.
