Gal Gadot’s Reign as Wonder Woman May Not Be Forever

Gal Gadot has provided a reassuring update on the status of Wonder Woman 3, following reports that it had been canceled due to James Gunn’s DC Universe plans. Fans can now rest easy knowing that there is still hope for another installment in the popular franchise.

Currently, there is limited information available about the third installment of Wonder Woman as it is likely still in the early stages of development and has not been officially announced by DC Studios. It is unclear if Wonder Woman 3 will be part of the new DC Universe, remain in the DC Extended Universe, or be an Elseworlds story. Additionally, it is uncertain if Patty Jenkins, who directed the first two films, will return to direct the third. However, Gal Gadot may have more creative control as she is developing the film with Gunn and Safran.

The latest news regarding Wonder Woman 3 may disappoint fans who are upset about Cavill and Affleck being replaced. This raises the question of why some characters are being recast while others aren’t. Until more details are revealed, there will likely be confusion about whether this film is part of the DC Universe.

Initially signed on for Wonder Woman 3, Gadot’s contract may obligate her to make the film even after Gun became DC Studios’ co-CEO and Cavill and Affleck were not signed on for future movies. Gun had to make tough decisions when rebooting the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), including choosing whether to recast the trinity. With Cavill and Affleck’s contracts up and Gun choosing not to rehire them, some fans assumed Gadot would not return as Wonder Woman, but Gun clarified that she had not been fired. However, fans still presumed that her role in The Flash would be her last appearance as Wonder Woman.

During a recent interview with ComicBook about her role in Netflix’s “Heart of Stone”, Gal Gadot talked about the possibility of returning to play Wonder Woman and working with Gunn and Safran to make the film. According to Gadot, portraying Wonder Woman is very close and dear to her heart, and she loves doing it. She also mentioned that there are plans to develop Wonder Woman 3 together with James and Peter.
