New Rumor Claims Gal Gadot Will Return as Wonder Woman in James Gunn’s DCU, Contrary to Reports

It’s doubtful that the DCU will be a full-blown reboot, but the return of a couple of Expanded Universe actors like Gal Gadot is questionable. The Amazons of Themyscira have a series on the road called lost heaven it is described something like this: Game of Thrones. However, Wonder Woman’s role in this has not been confirmed.

Despite this, Gadot is optimistic about returning to continue the Diana Prince saga and possibly direct the discontinued film. Wonder Woman 3 without Patty Jenkins. To prove that she is a priority for DC Studios, Gadot said that she had a meeting with executives James Gunn and Peter Safran, which went smoothly and brought only good news.

“I had a meeting with the CEOs of DC Studios, Peter Safran and James Gunn, and they both told me that they were going to develop Wonder Woman 3 with me,” Gadot said. USA Today (via ComicBookMovie). “They said, ‘You’re in good hands, you don’t have to worry.’ Time will tell.” Indeed, time will have the last word.

These recent comments echo comments Gadot made in early August, when the actress told ComicBook.com, “I love portraying Wonder Woman. This is so near and dear to my heart. From what I’ve heard from James and Peter, we’re going to develop Wonder Woman 3 together.”

Usually an actor telling us the good news of his latest meeting with executives means the door is open. But parent studio Warner Bros. hints to the contrary. Their response to Gadot—and lingering reports that World War III it turned on again – everything was the other way around. By denying everything, they create the impression that the good news was premature and misleading.

James Gunn adds fuel to the fire when he confirms that some actors are returning to the DCU, but refrains from mentioning Gadot’s name. In a recent thread on Threads, Gunn said, “Xolo Maridueña will continue to play Blue Beetle in the DCU, Viola Davis will play Amanda Waller, and John Cena will play Peacemaker.” Please note that some names are missing.

Of course, Gunn doesn’t have to name everyone. He didn’t mention Freddie Stroma, and everyone agrees that no one will replace him as Vigilante. Just because an actor doesn’t deserve mention in a social media post doesn’t mean the actor is fired – just that his status is in limbo. However, Gunn has been accused of making controversial comments about his castings in the past few months.

Plus, during this time he hasn’t said anything official about Gadot, so the press and the network are left guessing. Either he’s leaving the leg work to us and Gadot, or he hasn’t made a decision yet. The latter is possible, but it may happen that Heart of stone the star is telling the truth.

A recent X-post from Scooper MyTimeToShineHello confirms Gadot’s status, albeit through anonymous sources. Scoop’s report reads, “Sources have confirmed that despite reports to the contrary, Gal Gadot will return as Wonder Woman in James Gunn’s DCU.”

A lot of the news about DC this year has turned out to be true, and this news is consistent with what the star has confidently said.

The mystery will continue as DC continues to change in Hollywood, but if this rumor is true, it begs the question of why Gadot is staying and not Henry Cavill. With he and Ben Affleck both out of the game, she remains the last of the trio unless Gunn scores a hat trick.

Do you think he will do it, or do you believe Gadot and the rumors? Comment below.
