What you need to know:
After Gal Gadot announced her return as Wonder Woman in a third movie, some sources denied these plans. So what is going on?
At the beginning of August 2023, Gal Gadot said in an interview that a third film of Wonder Woman was in development (here we leave the news); that is to say, that he was in the plans of DC by the hand of James Gunn. The “confirmation” of Gadot’s return as Wonder Woman was good news for most fans.
However, We regret to tell you that it is not true. As it turns out, some sources at DC Studios said that a third Wonder Woman movie has never been mentioned and most likely won’t happen. All this leaves us tremendously confused after revealing the reasons why Gadot launched into saying that he would develop that film together with Gunn and Peter Safran.
It doesn’t make sense that there would be a third installment of Wonder Woman.
In two separate interviews (before the SAG-AFTRA strike), Gal Gadot said a third Wonder Woman movie was in development. They told her that she was in good hands, that they loved that she was Wonder Woman and that they would develop the project together.
But not. And somehow It makes sense that there is NOT a third installment of Wonder Woman, since it does not connect with the plans that James Gunn announced for DC. That is to say, why would Gadot return to the character but not Henry Cavill as Superman? It would not make sense.
However. Some characters that we already saw on the screen like peacemakerThey are part of the plans. The thing is that this character, for example, took place outside of the universe that Zack Snyder created starting with Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg (the League of Justicewell).
Peacemaker, in fact, entered DC with James Gunn for the second part of Suicide Squad. This also means that then the stories of the Suicide Squad (with David Ayer and Gunn at the helm), they never connected with the development that Snyder raised.
Also, the future of DC is concentrated in the past. Gunn’s idea is to return to the origins of various characters and from there start with the new DC universe. The best example of this is the movie Superman: Legacywhich will be directed by Gunn himself with the leading roles of David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan. Here we tell you more about this project.
Superman’s farce… and now Wonder Woman’s
In mid-October 2022, fans of DC (or in general), celebrated the news of Henry Cavill’s return as Superman after his cameo at the close of Black Adam. The British actor would return for a second installment of man of steel and confirmed it on social networks: “I’m back as Superman“.
But in December of that same year, Cavill himself announced that he had met with the mere members of DC Studios and Warner Bros. and they told him that there were other plans for Superman that did not contemplate him. “I wish them and everyone involved in the new universe the best of luck and the happiest of fortunes.“.
After the farce that was the theme of Henry Cavill and Superman (even left The Witcher to concentrate on the last son of Krypton), where the project of his return was really confirmed, we are not surprised what happened to Gal Gadot and Wonder Womanwhich remained in “I was told” rumors.
Is there a Wonder Woman production in development?
The thing is that there is a production of Wonder Woman in development, but it is not the third installment led by Gal Gadot. With DC’s new plans, Gunn and Safran announced that they would develop a series for television (Max) titled Paradise Lost.
The series will be a prequel, and It will be set on the island of Themyscira many years before Diana’s birth. According to Safran’s words, the story will have a narrative similar to that of game of Thrones…which we don’t know what it means, but we’re excited about it.
