Forget 'Superman' — DC studios lassos 'Supergirl' screenwriter to pen 'Wonder Woman' reboot
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. With James Gunn's "Superman" dominating at the box office, all eyes are on what the revamped DCU has next. Now, DC Studios has hired playwright, actress, and "Supergirl" screenwriter Ana Nogueira to write its new redo of "Wonder Woman," The Wrap reports. The news comes as "Superman" soars past $409 million at the global box office in just two weekends, the kind of blockbuster success comic book movies haven't seen at the box office since pre-Covid days. Nogueira, who previously starred in "The Michael J. Fox Show," "The Vampire Diaries" and "Hightown," is quickly becoming one of DC's go-to hitters. She's also reportedly set to write a live-action take of Teen Titans for the Gunn- and Peter Safran-run Warner Bros label. "Supergirl," which debuts in theaters on June 26, 2026, will be her first produced screenplay, and it's being adapted from the graphic novel 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.' Wonder Woman's place in the new DCU Rebooting Wonder Woman has emerged as a top priority for the studio. Earlier this month, Variety reported that DC is fast-tracking the film, and Gunn told Entertainment Weekly in June that a new "Wonder Woman" movie is "being written right now." DC Studios is also reportedly working on a "Paradise Island" TV series for HBO set on Wonder Woman's home of Themyscira. Gal Gadot first brought the Princess of Themyscira to the big screen in director Patty Jenkins' 2017 film "Wonder Woman," which earned $822 million worldwide and challenged industry assumptions that female-led superhero movies didn't have as much pull among audiences as their male counterparts. Gadot and Jenkins reunited for "Wonder Woman 1984," which premiered on Christmas Day in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. Gadot also revised her role in "Justice League" (2017), "Zack Snyder's Justice League" (2021), and "The Flash" (2023). It's not clear what role Wonder Woman will play now that Gunn and Safran have rebooted the DC universe. Nogueira could take the character in a bold new direction, but that could prove risky considering the original "Wonder Woman" was one of the most beloved movies of the previous franchise. For now, we'll have to wait to learn more about Wonder Woman's future on the big screen. It's possible we could see her cameo in "Supergirl" when it hits theaters next year, similar to how Supergirl actress Milly Alcock appeared at the end of "Superman" to tease the DCU's next chapter.

After James Gunn said the movie was a "priority", the DCU's Wonder Woman reboot hires Supergirl screenwriter to pen the script
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The DCU's Wonder Woman reboot has found its screenwriter: Ana Nogueira, who also wrote the upcoming Supergirl movie for DC Studios (via Deadline). This update comes hot on the heels of DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn saying that he's "always had Wonder Woman as a priority" News first broke of the DCU's new take on Diana Prince last month, but this is the first concrete detail we've had since then (no director or actors are attached to the project just yet). Gal Gadot played Wonder Woman in the DCEU, originating the role in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before taking center stage in 2017's Wonder Woman, directed by Patty Jenkins. A sequel, Wonder Woman 1984, followed in 2020, and a third movie was announced in 2021 with Gadot set to return. However, in 2022, after Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios, the threequel was cancelled. As for Supergirl, Nogueira's first DCU project, the upcoming movie stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, Superman's party girl cousin, who ends up on a "murderous quest for revenge" during her travels across the galaxy (with Krypto in tow, of course). Based on the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic by Tom King, the movie is directed by I, Tonya and Cruella helmer Craig Gillespie and will also star Matthias Schoenaerts and Eve Ridley, as well as featuring Jason Momoa as Lobo. Nogueira, whose Supergirl screenplay is her debut feature film script, is reportedly also working on a live-action Teen Titans movie for the DCU. Supergirl arrives in theaters on June 26, 2026 as part of the DCU Chapter One. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the other upcoming DC movies and shows on the way. Solve the daily Crossword

James Gunn Thinks Adria Arjona Would Be 'a Great Wonder Woman'
If Superman and the forthcoming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow weren't enough, a new Wonder Woman movie is officially in the works, too. In June, James Gunn confirmed that a new iteration of Wonder Woman is 'being written right now.' Ana Nogueira, who will also write Supergirl, is in talks to write the script. Here's everything we know about the new DC movie. Gal Gadot will not be reprising her role in the new Wonder Woman film. A new actress has not been cast as the titular hero yet, but Adria Arjona is rumored to be in consideration after people noticed that Gunn followed her on Instagram. 'I follow Adria on Instagram, but everybody came out [and thought], 'He just followed her, that means she's Wonder Woman,'' Gunn shared in an interview with Extra, per Deadline. 'She'd be a great Wonder Woman, by the way.' He also clarified that the follow wasn't recent. They had previously worked together on his 2017 film The Belko Experiment. 'She was in a movie that I made seven years ago,' he said. 'We've been friends and have known each other since that time. I followed her then, I didn't just follow her.' In a previous interview with ELLE, Adria Arjona spoke about the types of projects she hopes to make. 'I'm really intentional and I follow my intuition,' she said. 'When [the right project] comes in front of me, I know that's what I want to do next. When you're in the arts, you can't plan too far ahead. I could say right now, 'All I wanna do is comedy.' But [then I] would not be making good ones, you know? I like to stay as open as I can for the opportunities that are coming my way. I don't wanna get in my own way.' Not yet. On Threads, Gunn shared that though Wonder Woman is a 'priority,' it's not being 'fast-tracked.' He continued, 'Nothing is going to be shot unless we're as sure as we can be that the script is good.' No director is attached to the film yet, and screenwriter Ana Nogueira is only still in talks—not yet confirmed—to write the script. It's unclear whether Patty Jenkins will return after helming the two Gadot-starring Wonder Woman films. She was supposed to direct a third movie, but it did not move forward at Warner Bros. After the news broke in 2022, Jenkins said in part of a larger statement, 'I wish her [Wonder Woman] and her legacy an amazing future ahead, with or without me.' This story will be updated.

'Supergirl' & ‘Teen Titans' Writer Ana Nogueira Tapped For 'Wonder Woman'
The screenwriter behind Supergirl (2026), Ana Nogueira, has been selected to pen the script for Wonder Woman for DC Studios. Confirmed by James Gunn via Threads, Nogueira appears to be favoured heavily by DC Studios, having already written the upcoming Supergirl movie, which is currently in post-production, as well as working on the live-action Teen Titans movie that is still being developed. Though Gunn has denied that the Wonder Woman film will be fast-tracked, he has affirmed that it is indeed a priority amongst the DC Universe's upcoming slate of projects. Ana Nogueira Nogueira first began her career as an actor, notably starring in The Vampire Diaries (2016) and Hightown (2020-2024), later becoming a playwright, with Empathitrax in 2016, followed by Which Way to the Stage in 2022. She also expanded to screenwriting, with We Win (2018) as her first writing credit. Supergirl, directed by Craig Gillespie (Cruella), will be her first produced screenplay, and it will be based on the graphic novel series Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King. Wonder Woman is a major character in DC Comics, forming the Trinity alongside Superman and Batman. The Wonder Woman film will certainly help lay the groundwork for the formation of the Trinity in Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe, given that Gunn's Superman (2025) has already taken flight to resounding critical and audience reception. Fans are already excited to see the future of the DC Universe, coming off the success of Superman , carried on the strong shoulders of the Man of Steel. The film also introduced, in a brief cameo, Milly Alcock's Supergirl, who will be making a proper debut when her titular film releases on 26 June 2026. With Supergirl's impactful appearance in Superman , fans are already looking forward to a radiant tomorrow for the DC Universe, reinforced by the Woman of Tomorrow. Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) Fans are now even looking further ahead to other projects in the DC Universe, with some beginning to clamour for Wonder Woman's film appearance. Gal Gadot ( Death on the Nile ) previously portrayed the character in the previous iteration of the DC Universe, the now-defunct DCEU. Appearing first in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), before receiving commercial success with 2017's Wonder Woman , Gadot received support for her role as Wonder Woman, though fans and critics alike have panned her acting at times for its stiffness. The role will be recast for the new DC Universe, likely beginning with the Wonder Woman film. This may go hand in hand with the Wonder Woman-centric television series, Paradise Island , that DC Studios has been working on for some time. The show has been described to be a prequel series, based around Wonder Woman's home of Themyscira, that will stylistically echo Game of Thrones . Though the production status of the show is currently unclear, it does appear that the future for Wonder Woman is bright at DC Studios. Conversation with Ting Wei is like chatting with a weird AI bot programmed only with One Piece lore and theories, sitcom quotes and other miscellaneous pop culture references. When he's not sleeping, he's highly likely reading manga. In fact, the only thing he reads more than manga is the Bible, and it's honestly pretty close.
