Gal Gadot Out as DC Studios Reboots Wonder Woman

James Gunn and Peter Safran, co-chiefs of DC Studios, have confirmed that a new Wonder Woman film is in development as part of a full reboot of the character, with Gal Gadot not returning for the role. The script is currently being written, but no casting decisions have been made, though actresses like Adria Arjona and Melissa Barrera have been subjects of fan speculation, with Barrera's recent controversies noted as a possible obstacle. The HBO Max series 'Paradise Lost,' focusing on the origins of Themyscira, is also progressing slowly. The Wonder Woman reboot joins other major DC projects such as Gunn's Superman (releasing July 2025) and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (June 2026), which are set to anchor the new DC Universe. Gunn and Safran have emphasized the central roles of Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, and Supergirl in the franchise's future. Details about the new film's creative team and the broader Justice League lineup have not yet been revealed.
