James Gunnis getting ready to introduceWonder Womanto the DC Universe, but it’s going to take a while. In a recent comment made on hisThreadsaccount, theSupermanfilmmaker clarified the current status of Diana’s DCU debut at DC Studios. Recent rumors suggested that the studio was looking to cast an actress with plenty of television experience, just likeSupergirlstarMilly Alcock. These rumors turned out to be false, as Gunn himself stated:
“Nope. And I’d never in a million years look for a major role based on whether they did TV, films, or whatever. It’s all about the casting. I didn’t cast Milly because of her past, but because she was the best one for the role. (But we’re also not casting WW, nor even discussing it, until a script is finished).”
Wonder Woman is one of the many characters James Gunn andPeter Safranare looking to introduce in their new DC Universe.Superman, starringDavid Corenswetas the Man of Steel, took over the global box office by storm with a$220 million global debut. The ticket sales performance of the franchise’s first theatrical release will determine the next steps for Warner Bros. and their DC brand.
When Will Wonder Woman Debut in the DCU?
AfterSupermanreceived positive reviews and a decent debut at the global box office, it was reported that Warner Bros. and DC Studios were fast-tracking aWonder Womanfilm. David Corenswet andRachel Brosnahan, the latter of whom played Lois Lane inSuperman, have sequel options in their respective contracts. But instead of looking for a new adventure for Clark Kent, Warner Bros. is reportedly focusing on bringing a new version of Diana to life.
It might take a while for Wonder Woman to make her DCU big screen debut. While the studio is trying to get things moving on the project, James Gunn’s recent comments prove that a script for the reboot isn’t finished yet. Once a script is submitted and approved by the studio, the search for a new Wonder Woman will commence, sinceGal Gadotmore than likely won’t be reprising the role in the DCU. In the meantime, Warner Bros. is also working on movies based on theTeen Titans,The Authority,and a new version of Batman set to be introduced inThe Brave and the Bold.
A release date for the upcomingWonder Womanmovie hasn’t been set by Warner Bros at this time. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
