The next era of the DC Universe is beginning to take shape. One of its most anticipated projects has just taken a major step forward. DCU’s Wonder Woman writer has officially been revealed—someone who has already made a strong impression within the DC world.
Ana Nogueira Steps In as DCU’s Wonder Woman Writer
DC Studios has chosen Ana Nogueira to write the upcoming Wonder Woman movie in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s reimagined DCU. Her involvement brings credibility and momentum to a franchise that’s eager for a fresh yet faithful direction.
Although Nogueira may be a new name to some fans, she’s no stranger to the DC Universe. She wrote the script for Supergirl, which is part of DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. She is also currently working on the upcoming Teen Titans movie. Known for crafting emotionally rich, character-driven stories, Nogueira has quickly become one of the most promising writers in DC Studios.
In addition to her work behind the scenes, Nogueira is also an accomplished actress, with past roles in acclaimed television series such as Blue Bloods, The Vampire Diaries, and The Blacklist. This diverse background gives her a unique understanding of character dynamics, something that could prove invaluable as she shapes the future of Wonder Woman on the big screen.
Wonder Woman’s Future Is in Development—But Not Rushed
While the announcement of Nogueira’s involvement signals forward motion, the film itself remains in early development. As of now, DC Studios hasn’t announced a director or lead actress, and they’re keeping plot details tightly under wraps.
James Gunn, co-chair of DC Studios, offered insight into how the studio is approaching the project. Responding to fan speculation, he clarified that Wonder Woman remains a top priority, but the creative team intends to take their time.
“It’s a priority but I wouldn’t call that fast-tracked. Nothing is going to be shoot unless we’re as sure as we can be that the script is good.”
This measured pace reflects the studio’s shift in philosophy. Rather than rushing into casting or production decisions, Gunn emphasized the importance of getting the story right first.
When fans asked about potential casting choices for Wonder Woman, Gunn responded with equal transparency:
“Nope. And I’d never in a million years look for a major role based on whether they did TV, films, or whatever. It’s all about the casting. I didn’t cast Milly because of her past, but because she was the best one for the role. But we’re also not casting WW, nor even discussing it, until a script is finished.”
This thoughtful, quality-first approach offers reassurance to fans who want to see a Wonder Woman film that does justice to the character’s legacy.
A Fresh Start for an Iconic Heroine
With Ana Nogueira officially on board, expectations for the next Wonder Woman film are growing. She is already contributing to other major DCU projects. Because of that, her voice will likely shape the tone and direction of the new DC Universe in meaningful ways.
The project is still in its early stages. However, it’s clear that DC Studios is planning with long-term vision, patience, and purpose. Now that DCU’s Wonder Woman writer is confirmed, the foundation for one of the franchise’s most important films is finally being laid.
