Wonder Woman will appear in the DCU within the next three years, but Gunn still hasn’t said if it will be Gal Gadot in the role.
We’ll see Wonder Woman back on the big screen soon enough. Amid uncertainty over Gal Gadot’s future in the role, a new rumor was reported Wednesday that the Wonder Woman character would not be included in the DCU’s first three years at all. But when the rumor made its way to James Gunn On Twitterit was shot, with the DC Studios co-CEO flatly stating this was false.
“I hereby debunk it (just because it’s not true),” Gunn said of the rumor.
There have also been recent rumors about Ezra Miller’s future in the DCU. Specifically, Variety reported that Warner Bros. executives. Discovery are considering letting Miller continue as the Flash, as the embattled actor has since corrected their problematic behavior. Gunn couldn’t clarify the Miller rumors, but while addressing them, he also confirmed that the map he’s working with Peter Safran for the DCU spans 8 to 10 years.
“I don’t know what’s out there about Ezra, but our slate is 8 to 10 years (but we’ll only be announcing part of it this month),” Gunn said.
Patty Jenkins isn’t part of the DCU’s plans, but Gal Gadot is?
At this point, we know that Wonder Woman will be part of the beginning of Gunn and Safran’s new DCU roadmap. What remains a mystery is who will play that character. Some doubt has been expressed about Gal Gadot reprising the role, as neither Gunn nor Gadot have confirmed in any way that she is done with the part. Gunn appeared to tease that she might be back in the DCU when he refuted the idea that he fired her from the role.
“I’m not sure where you’re getting that we ‘booted’ Gal,” Gunn said in response on Instagram to someone online saying she “booted” with Henry Cavill.
What we do know is that Wonderwoman and Wonder Woman 1984 helmer won’t be part of the DCU, at least not for now, as she had planned Wonder Woman 3 was canceled by Team Gunn & Safran. Jenkins then released a statement implying that this was not her choice, and that she had in fact been told there was nothing she could do to be part of the DCU’s plan with Wonder Woman.
“I never ran away,” Jenkins said. “I was open to whatever was asked of me. I understood that there was nothing I could do at this point to move anything forward. DC is clearly buried in changes they need to make, so I understand that these decisions at this be difficult at the moment.
