- James Gunn confirms a new Wonder Woman film is being written.
- The project will not star Gal Gadot and is separate from past DCEU films.
- The film is distinct from the upcoming HBO Max series Paradise Lost.
James Gunn, co-chair of DC Studios, has officially confirmed that a new Wonder Woman film is currently in development. This fresh take on the Amazonian warrior will not feature Gal Gadot, who previously portrayed the character in the DC Extended Universe.
The film is not connected to Paradise Lost, the upcoming HBO Max prequel series set on Themyscira. While Gunn emphasized that Wonder Woman is among the studio’s core heroes—alongside Superman, Batman, and Supergirl—he noted that some characters are further along in development than others.
DC’s New Era: ‘Wonder Woman’ Reboot Underway With Fresh Vision
James Gunn is building a new foundation for DC’s cinematic universe, and Wonder Woman is at the center of it. In a recent interview, he revealed that the character is getting a new film, currently in the writing stage, without links to previous iterations in the DCEU.
The departure of Gal Gadot marks a bold creative reset. Although she met with Gunn and Peter Safran in 2023 and was told Wonder Woman 3 was in the works with her, it now appears that the studio has chosen to start anew under its evolving vision.
Fans hoping for a connection to Paradise Lost may be disappointed. Gunn confirmed that the HBO Max series, set on Themyscira, is a completely separate project and is progressing slowly with no announced writers attached.
This new Wonder Woman film reflects DC Studios’ focus on reestablishing its iconic heroes with fresh narratives. With Superman already in motion, Diana of Themyscira is next in line to be reimagined for a new generation of audiences.
DC Studios is clearly embracing a clean slate for its iconic heroes, and Wonder Woman’s reboot signals a bold new chapter in the evolving DC Universe.
“We’re working on Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman’s being written right now.” — James Gunn
