New ‘Wonder Woman' Movie 'Being Written Right Now' Says DC Co-Boss James Gunn
Wonder Woman under James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Studios hasn't hung up her lasso. 'We're working on Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman's being written right now,' Gunn told EW today. More from Deadline Kevin Smith Praises 'Superman' Trailer's "Really F-ing Smart" Take On U.S. Political Climate: "People Wanna Hope Right Now" James Gunn Confirms 'Superman' Runtime & Clears Up Rumor Warner Bros. Forced Him To Cut It Down 'Sgt. Rock' Halts Pre-Production, Now Eyeing Summer 2026 Production Start DC didn't comment on who exactly is writing the new Wonder Woman. Gunn hasn't yet cast the role of who'll play Princess Diana of Themyscira. That's a big deal. When Gunn and Safran took over the reigns of DC back in late 2022, they essentially began unplugging from the Zack Snyder created DC universe. One of those projects not to move forward was Patty Jenkins' third Wonder Woman movie which wasn't up to snuff. In addition Gunn said today, that the new 'Wonder Woman's a separate thing' to the already announced Paradise Lost HBO/Max series, which is 'slow moving, but it's moving,' per the Superman and Guardians of the Galaxy franchise filmmaker. Gunn also confirmed what was blurted out by Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav during last month's earnings call; that Superman, Batman, Supergirl and Wonder Woman were lynchpins to Gunn and Safran's DC. 'I think that's accurate, actually,' Gunn told EW. 'I think that he got that from something I said. I wouldn't say only those four characters, but I would 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.' The Paradise Lost HBO Max series was first announced by Gunn and Safran when the first unveiled their vision for DC aka 'Gods and Monsters' in early 2023. Set on Wonder Woman's home planet Themyscira, Gunn billed Paradise Lost as 'Game of Thrones with Westeros but with all the inhabitants of Paradise Island.' No announced scribes yet for Paradise Lost. As of August 2023 on a press tour for the Netflix movie Heart of Stone, Gadot exclaimed 'I was invited to a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran [co-chairperson and CEO of DC alongside Gunn] and what they told me, and I'm quoting: 'You're in the best hands. We're going to develop Wonder Woman 3 with you. [We] love you as Wonder Woman— you've got nothing to worry about.' So time will tell.' At the time of her comments, DC told Deadline that Wonder Woman 3 wasn't in the works. After getting her treatment pulled, Jenkins told the press that when it came to the threequel, 'I never walked away. I was open to considering anything asked of me.' Wonder Woman 3 was promptly announced in the wake of the theatrical day-and-date tanking of Wonder Woman 1984, which grossed $170M WW, $47M U.S. when many theaters around the globe were closed. Warners held the movie through the pandemic but decided to go theatrical and on HBO Max at Christmas 2020 as the first title in the Jason Kilar-run WarnerMedia HBO Max dynamic window experiment. The first Wonder Woman in 2017, also directed by Jenkins, was a box office revolution for a movie directed by a female, earning over $822M around the globe.

James Gunn Confirms 'Wonder Woman' Movie in the Works
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors A "Wonder Woman" movie is officially on the way from the DCU. That's the word from DC Studios co-chief James Gunn. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly for the promotional lead-up to next month's "Superman" release, Gunn revealed that the "Wonder Woman" movie is "being written right now." Read More: Scarlett Johansson Wanted Her Name Removed From Marvel Project Unfortunately, that's all the news about the movie Gunn spilled. There's no news about casting, release, or even who exactly is writing "Wonder Woman". Gal Gadot stars as Diana, aka Wonder Woman. Gal Gadot stars as Diana, aka Wonder Woman. Warner Bros Still, even with such sparse details, this should be good news for "Wonder Woman" fans who have experienced a tough few years of news. It was just earlier this year that an announced "Wonder Woman" video game had been canceled by Warner Bros. Then, of course, there was "Wonder Woman 3," which would have seen the return of Gal Gadot to her signature role. Final confirmation that the threequel was as dead as the DCEU didn't come until last year. Gal Gadot debuted as Wonder Woman in 2016's "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" before starring in her own film, 2017's "Wonder Woman". The latter feature remains one of the more universally embraced chapters of the DCEU, critically and commercially. "Wonder Woman 1984", released in 2020, was not as well received as its predecessor. Gadot would go on to reprise the role for "Justice League", "Zack Snyder's Justice League", "Shazam! Fury of the Gods", and "The Flash". Whoever takes over the role from Gadot will certainly have big boots to fill. Whenever it arrives, "Wonder Woman" won't be the only content planned revolving around the iconic heroine. There's also the "Paradise Lost" series planned for HBO Max about the Amazons of Themyscria, Wonder Woman's homeland. About the series' development, Gunn told EW it was "slow moving, but it's moving." "Superman" hits theaters July 11 and the success or failure of the blockbuster will likely have a lot to do with the DCU as a whole moving forward. Should ticket sales meet or exceed expectations, and everything from the introductions of Wonder Woman to that of a new Batman in "The Brave and the Bold" may start moving at a much quicker pace.
