When it was first announced that James Gunn and Peter Safran were taking over DC Films, and that an entirely new DC Universe would launch from that, fans had a lot of questions. While it soon became clear we would get a new Superman and a new Batman, the future of other major DC characters was a lot less clear, most notably, Wonder Woman. It seems that’s really starting to change, though.
The first Wonder Woman movie starring Gal Gadot and directed by Patty Jenkins was one of DC’s biggest hits in the previous franchise, and yet, the original unveiling of James Gunn’s first chapter of the DCU had no specific path forward for the Amazonian. In a recent conversation with EW, however, Gunn confirms that not only is a new Wonder Woman movie planned, it’s currently in development. Gunn said…
We’re working on Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman’s being written right now.
upcoming DC movies. Fans will now certainly have a lot of questions about what the plan is for this new movie, but they’ll surely be happy to hear that it’s happening.
casting isn’t considered until a script is finished.
Gunn confirmed that the previously announced Wonder Woman-adjacent project, Paradise Lost, a prequel series set on the island of Thymascira, Wonder Woman’s home, but set long before her, was still in development. Gunn called the series “slow-moving” but assured that it is still moving forward.
More to come…
