Wonder Woman: DCU Movie's Writer Revealed, Is Familiar to DC Fans
James Gunn and Peter Safran's DCU officially kicked off in December 2024 with the animated Creature Commandos series. That was followed by Superman, which is now playing in United States theaters, while Peacemaker Season 2 is scheduled to arrive next month. DCU projects coming in 2026 include Lanterns, Supergirl, and Clayface.
A DCU Wonder Woman movie is also in development, as Gunn confirmed earlier this month that the project was currently being written; however, he didn't say at the time who was writing it.
Who is writing the Wonder Woman movie?
Per Variety, the Wonder Woman movie is being written by Ana Nogueira. Nogueira wrote the screenplay for Supergirl, which is directed by Craig Gillespie, and is also working on the DCU Teen Titans movie, which does not yet have a release date.
Besides writing, Nogueira has starred in television shows such as Blue Bloods, The Michael J. Fox Show, The Vampire Diaries, The Blacklist, and Hightown.
Not much else is known about the Wonder Woman movie at this time, as plot details remain under wraps and a director is not yet attached to the project. Nobody has been publicly cast in the role of Diana Prince as of yet.
Variety previously reported that, following the box office success of Superman, Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios were fast-tracking the Wonder Woman movie into development. On Threads, Gunn recently addressed this, saying, 'It's a priority but I wouldn't call that fast-tracked. Nothing is going to be shoot unless we're as sure as we can be that the script is good.'
He also shot down a rumor that suggested DC Studios was looking for an 'actress with a TV-centric resume, making to Supergirl's Milly Alcock,' to play Wonder Woman. 'Nope,' Gunn commented. 'And I'd never in a million years look for a major role based on whether they did TV, films, or whatever. It's all about the casting. I didn't cast Milly because of her past, but because she was the best one for the role (But we're also not casting WW, nor even discussing it, until a script is finished.'
Wonder Woman does not have a release date at this time. Supergirl, meanwhile, arrives on June 26, 2026.

Dean Cain claims he was sexually harassed on the set of ‘90s ‘Superman' TV series
Dean Cain claimed he was a victim of sexual harassment when he was Superman. During a new interview with Variety, the 58-year-old actor made a bombshell claim about his experience starring in the 1990s TV series 'Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.' 'I could have had the biggest sexual harassment lawsuit in Hollywood history,' Cain told the outlet.

Cain played the titular superhero in 'Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,' which aired on ABC from 1993 to 1997.

'We ended up putting in stirrups so that it stayed in place. And the boots were a whole lace-up thing at first. We worked on it as time went on.' 'I remember it being 110 in Burbank. In the Superman suit, you can't sweat. If you sweat, it balls up. So I didn't,' Cain continued. 'I'm a Japanese dude. I don't sweat that much. I'm not hairy at all. They didn't have to shave my chest or anything. But still …' 9 Dean Cain as Clark Kent/Superman. ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection Cain also recalled that flying in the suit was brutal because the wires cut off circulation. 'There's no blood flow going to your legs,' he noted. 'After hanging for hours, I would have to get a massage just to keep the blood moving from quadrant to quadrant. Teri would cry. She'd be in tears every single time we had to fly because it hurt.' Cain explained that he filmed 'Lois and Clark' five days a week from 6 a.m. on Monday until 7 a.m. Saturday.

'There was no time to work out, because they couldn't give me a workout clause, because then they'd have to for every other star and then it sets precedent for Warner Bros. That's why I haven't done a series since. It feels like suffocating. You feel claustrophobic.' Cain also expressed that he feels he was financially exploited by Warner Bros.

'Warner Bros. buries the bodies deep and makes it look like it's lost money. There's no possible way.' 'But I should have sued,' he stated. 'George Clooney did it. He sued on 'ER' and got a big payout for his participation. I was advised not to because 'You don't want to bite the hand that feeds you.''

Hollywood is fresh out of ideas — so now we have a ‘Freakier Friday'
Telling tales as old as time America. Land of the free, home of the brave. Lurching backward. Everything old is getting retold. TV in May did a tribute to Joan Rivers who left us in 2014. We just got a Barbara Walters documentary. Clooney schlepped back from Italy where he lives — not the USA — to reprieve 'Good Night and Good Luck,' which opened back when Jill Biden was brunette. You don't have to stay home and watch old movies. You can now watch new movies with old stars. People is an ancient magazine. Its new cover's big story is who? WHO? Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. Nice to see Lindsay — she's had addiction stuff, setbacks, legal misery, near bankruptcy, parent trouble, sobriety issues, career fallout and no front and center top shot hot spot since Thomas Jefferson did it with his mistress. Full on, front and center, with her on that magazine cover? Jamie Lee Curtis. Lovely. Talented. Great actress. But hasn't carried a movie since Marilyn Monroe needed a training bra. We're now seeing specks of survival of the FFs: Formerly Famous. Clint Eastwood? Recently directed something called 'Juror #2.' In it, remember J.K. Simmons? Remember Clint whose last previous shot was 2021's 'Cry Macho' for Warner Bros. for whom he worked from 1971 until 2014. How about great Dick Van Dyke? Still dancing barefoot at nearly 100 and yet he recently knocked off Coldplay's new music thing 'All My Love.' And Broadway? Oy. Rejuicing Shakespeare who hasn't written anything new in weeks. Let's re-applaud everybody's favorite 'Chicago'? The thing's been around since before the city began. 'Hamilton'? A re-re-re-do. It's lasted longer than the human Hamilton. How about rejuicing 'The Rocky Horror Show' which opened 1975 — and — ready? — one of the revivals had me in it. Broadway — now known as Shrivelway — just had — again- again — 'Glengarry Glen Ross.' It recently had — again — again — 'Sunset Boulevard' with Nicole Scherzinger, who just closed in the over-trafficked musical, which hasn't changed except for its prices. And rejuiced Clooney, 64, who reopened in rererevivalled 'Good Night and Good Luck.' Wait. More. Comes now a TV birth. Neil Patrick Harris will host TV's new thing, 'What's in the Box?' New? Its contestants guess what's in a box. Wow! Sounds great. Right out of what went out in the '60s. Wait. More. Sept. 12. Joe's Pub is bringing us 'The Ballad of JonBenét Ramsey.' It's a musical. Supposedly high camp about a child who was murdered years ago. Not sure exactly what songs go with death but just letting you know. And if scratching around for the smell of an oldie movie, there's the newie 'Jurassic World: Rebirth.' Spielberg exec-produced the thing with Mahershala Ali and Scarlett Johansson, who says: 'It's like a version of 'Jaws' having maybe a baby with 'Jurassic,' ' and if you understand that you're a better man than I am Gunga Din. So three New York mice were lapping up the spilled scotch on the floor. Stoned, said one: 'I'm going to find Obama and knock him out.' Said the second: 'I'm going to take on that useless ex FBI chief.' The third mouse, in from The Bronx, said: 'You guys do what you want. I'm going upstairs to make love to the cat.' Only in New York, kids, only in New York.
