A new ''Wonder Woman'' film is officially in development, DC Studios co-chief James Gunn confirmed in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly.
“Being written right now,” Gunn said when asked about the character’s return, marking a fresh chapter for the iconic superhero as part of the ongoing reboot of the DC Universe.
This upcoming iteration will not feature Gal Gadot, who portrayed Wonder Woman in a series of films including Wonder Woman (2017), Justice League (2017), Wonder Woman 1984 (2020), Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021), and a cameo in The Flash (2023). With Gunn and fellow DC Studios co-chief Peter Safran leading a full overhaul of the franchise, the role is expected to be recast.
In addition to the new film, an HBO Max series exploring Wonder Woman’s mythological homeland, Themyscira, is also in the works. “It’s slow moving, but it’s moving,” Gunn said of the series’ development.
The new Wonder Woman project is one part of a broader slate of DC Universe titles currently underway. The first film in this reimagined universe, simply titled Superman, will be released in July and stars David Corenswet in the title role. Gunn wrote and directed the film.
Also on the horizon is Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Ana Nogueira, with Milly Alcock set to play Supergirl. The film is slated for release in June 2026.
Gunn hinted at even more to come, including another Superman film, though he was vague about its nature. “But is it a straight-up Superman sequel?” he said. “I would not say necessarily.”
When asked about a potential new Justice League movie, Gunn offered a one-word response: “Sure.”
