James Gunn Has Shut Down Rumors Regarding Wonder Woman

Superhero movies have taken over the world in recent years, with Marvel and DC being the most prominent two battling it out to be the most successful of them all. While Marvel might be edging ahead in some regards, adding Wonder Woman to the ranks helped DC firmly cement its place in the running for the top spot.

Seeing Gal Gadot bring the superhero to life was an incredible moment for fans across the world, with many excited about where the story will go moving forward. The problem? There have been plenty of rumors that things might not be going to plan. Still, James Gunn has shut down rumors regarding ‘Wonder Woman.’

James Gunn debunked rumors, but the answer is unclear

Co-CEO of DC Studios James Gunn has had a lot of explaining to do in recent weeks, with Variety reporting that ‘Wonder Woman’ isn’t a part of his three-year plan for the cinematic universe. It wasn’t long before concerned fans flocked to social media to check on the stats of it all, with Gunn perhaps making things even more confusing. He added that he’s debunking rumors ‘Wonder Woman’ isn’t in their three-year plan - but what does that mean? Does that mean it’s untrue because there will be a new ‘Wonder Woman’ movie in the next three years, or because they have actually been working on an eight to ten-year plan instead of one for the next three years?

DC has seen plenty of name changes in recent months

Welcoming Peter Safran and James Gunn as co-CEOs of DC Studios was the first of many changes that came for the company. The pair took to their new roles in October 2022, and it wasn’t long before they had a host of announcements to make. For one. Henry Cavill is no longer set to return to his famous role of Superman. Dwayne Johnson also added that Black Adam wouldn’t be a part of the “first chapter of storytelling” for the franchise.

No one is sure if Gal Gadot is still Wonder Woman

Patty Jenkins is the one behind ‘Wonder Woman’ and has breathed an incredible amount of life into the franchise. However, there have been rumors that her third ‘Wonder Woman’ movie was rejected because it didn’t go along with the new direction the CEOs want to take the studios. There have also been rumors that Gal Gadot isn’t even set to play ‘Wonder Woman’ anymore, with people worried no one else could bring the hero to life. Although James Gunn denied that the actress has been “booted” from the studios, there is no word if Gadot is still signed to DC or if she has walked away of her own accord.

James Gunn has shut down rumors regarding ‘Wonder Woman,’ but it doesn’t mean that anyone is confident about the direction the franchise is heading in just yet. After all, with no word of a new movie on the way or even whether or not Gal Gadot is still behind the hero, it seems everything is still very much up in the air.
