Nicholas Hoult is the most accurate Lex Luthor in a movie to date, and Rachel Brosnahan is a snappy, hard-nosed, and kick-butt Lois Lane.
When all three of these actors spoke to Total Film recently, bouncing ideas around for the sequel, Brosnahan dropped one item on her wish list: Wonder Woman. “There’s some storied history between Lois and Wonder Woman,” she noted.
Well, good news! (Maybe?) Recent reporting by Variety says that Warner Bros. is fast-tracking the new Wonder Woman movie, though a “Superman” sequel hasn’t been locked-in just yet. If there is one though, it’ll almost assuredly be out by the time audiences have already met their new Wonder Woman (whoever winds up playing her).
Gunn, who’s also the co-head of DC Studios, wasn’t shy about putting other DC heroes next to the Man of Steel in the DC Universe’s first movie; “Superman” also features the “Justice Gang,” which is composed of Guy Gardner’s Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), and, by the end of the film, Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan). But whereas the DC Extended Universe’s follow-up to its own Superman solo vehicle, “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” tried to assemble all of DC’s icons at once (including Wonder Woman, as played by Gal Gadot), Gunn knows to keep Superman as a lead and the second stringers as just that.
About Diana and Lois’ “storied history,” though. There is one path you can take with that history that the DCU should stay far away from…
