Director James Gunn verifies upcoming DC Comics film, revealing more details about a significant project in the DC universe.
"Hey there, comics enthusiasts! Got some exciting news for y'all!"
James Gunn, the director of the upcoming Superman film, recently dropped a bombshell about another project in the DC universe. That's right, another Wonder Woman movie is in the pipeline!
This tidbit is sure to send pulses racing among fans of the iconic superheroine, even though the leading lady for this new adventure is yet to be chosen.
Gal Gadot, who donned the Wonder Woman cape in films like Wonder Woman 2017, Justice League, Wonder Woman 1984, and Batman v Superman, ruled the roost previously. However, a standalone film featuring Gadot as the focal point got canned after Gunn took charge.
For Gunn, characters like Superman, Supergirl, Batman and Wonder Woman are the cornerstones of the DC brand. In an exclusive chat with Entertainment Weekly, the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy series acknowledged the significant role these characters play in their universe.
"I wouldn't be limited to just those four characters," he said, "but I'd say that those four characters are incredibly important to us. Right now, I feel great about where two of those characters are, and then we're dealing with the other two."
Fans will get to catch Gunn's Superman film featuring David Corenswet on July 11. As for the hunt for a new Wonder Woman, it's likely to be an intriguing part of the pre-production process. Several actresses have been tossed around as potential replacements, with Monica Barbaro and Melissa Barrera being among the top contenders. However, no official casting decision has been made yet.
To stay in the loop with all the latest updates regarding the new Wonder Woman film, keep your eyes peeled for official announcements from DC Studios or James Gunn themselves!
