DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn recently took to social media to address swirling rumors about Wonder Woman in the DC Universe. Known for his open dialogue with fans, Gunn aims to keep audiences informed about the state of this beloved franchise.
After the warm reception of Superman in theaters, discussions about the remaining two of DC’s Big Three—Wonder Woman and Batman—have intensified. Although details about their upcoming solo projects remain scarce, it appears that DC has plans for a recasting from the DCEU.
In his latest update on Threads, James Gunn confirmed that while the DCU’s Wonder Woman remains a priority, it is not being fast-tracked as some reports have suggested. He clarified that the casting process will only commence once a script is finalized. This approach reflects a broader trend in the DCU—namely, that productions will not be rushed, even when there’s pressure to deliver quickly.
Gunn’s commitment to a thoughtful production process means that the eventual casting for Wonder Woman will likely be the result of careful consideration, ultimately ensuring that the final product meets high standards. This meticulousness contrasts sharply with the industry’s tendency to begin filming without a finished script, often compromising the storytelling quality.
Moreover, Gunn has indicated that casting choices will focus on raw talent rather than on previous experience alone. This principle bodes well for the franchise, assuring fans that whoever dons the iconic armor of Wonder Woman will have been selected through a rigorous process that emphasizes skill over background.
As we await more revelations, it’s clear that the future of Wonder Woman in the DCU is being handled with the utmost care. Fans can look forward to a well-thought-out portrayal that honors the character’s legacy.
More to come…
