Fans of the DC Universe have eagerly awaited updates on the next Wonder Woman movie. James Gunn has finally provided some insight. The project is still in its early stages, but a few key details reveal what’s coming for Diana Prince and her adventures in the DCU.
Wonder Woman Movie Officially in Development
DC Studios has confirmed that they are officially developing a Wonder Woman movie, with Ana Nogueira writing the screenplay. However, DC Studios has not announced a director or lead actress yet. Fans are speculating who could take on the iconic role, especially with Gunn’s recent comments about casting considerations.
The project’s release date and plot details are still under wraps. Fans are curious whether Diana Prince will debut in her solo film or another DCU project first. A related prequel series, Paradise Lost, is also in development but has not received major updates since its announcement in January 2023.
James Gunn Clarifies Wonder Woman Casting Thoughts
In 2024, reporters asked Gunn about the possibility of casting a Wonder Woman taller than Superman and Batman. He responded:
“Not good. I don’t know where I’d find an accomplished and talented actress 6’5” or over.”
At the time, sources reported that Superman actor David Corenswet is 6’4”, while DC Studios had not cast Batman yet. This raised questions among fans about whether Wonder Woman’s height would influence casting decisions.
Recently, Gunn took to Threads to clarify his earlier statements, emphasizing that height is not the most important factor when casting the Amazonian hero:
“I don’t think extreme height is the most important factor in casting WW. That’s all I said earlier as well. I never said I didn’t feel good about her being taller than Superman – I just said that would never be what I considered most important in her casting.”
This clarification reassures fans that DC Studios is focused on finding the right actress who embodies the character’s strength, intelligence, and charisma, rather than meeting a specific physical requirement.
Upcoming Projects and Expanded DCU Storylines
While details remain scarce, the upcoming Wonder Woman movie and related projects promise to expand the DC Universe with fresh stories and characters. The prequel series Paradise Lost could provide additional context and deepen the lore surrounding Diana Prince and the Amazons.
Casting rumors are circulating, and creative decisions are still unfolding. Fans can expect DC Studios to handle Wonder Woman’s character with the same care and ambition as other DCU projects. With Gunn leading the DCU’s direction, anticipation continues to grow for both the film and the potential series.
