DC Studios Boss James Gunn Addresses WONDER WOMAN Rumor And Confirms Partial Slate Reveal This Month

Following reports that Wonder Woman is being sidelined in the new DCU, DC Studios boss James Gunn has now addressed those and reiterated plans for a partial slate reveal later this month. Check it out...

Yesterday evening, Variety shared a report claiming that Wonder Woman won't be part of DC Studios' DCU during its first few years. Asked by a fan to weigh in, James Gunn debunked the report, suggesting the Amazon warrior will, in fact, be key in his and Peter Safran's slate of projects during its earliest days. 

Whether this means Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman 3 will still happen is unclear, though we know she was sent back to the drawing board when it became clear her vision didn't fit into this post-DCEU era of storytelling. 

As always, Gunn chose his words carefully here and only confirmed that Diana Prince will be part of the DCU. He didn't specify whether this iteration of the character will be played by Gal Gadot, for example, so it's possible the character will be recast similar to what's happening with Superman after Henry Cavill was ousted from the role. 

In other news, The Suicide Squad director has also reiterated plans for a partial DCU slate reveal this month, reminding us that DC Studios is formulating an 8-10 year lineup of projects. 

However, Gunn completely glossed over claims that Ezra Miller will continue playing Barry Allen following The Flash's release this summer. That's either because a decision hasn't been made or an indication that the rumour was another inaccuracy in the trade's report (which is a surprise given the source). 

Everything appears to be in flux right now, and until DC Studios reveals "some" of those DCU movies and TV shows, we remain in the dark about what's being planned for this franchise. 

Keep checking back here for updates on the DCU as we have them.

As long as Ezra and Gadot are gone.

@dagenspear - she’s not a good actress. She does look the part though

Again, really goes to show we should be waiting to hear from Gunn first. These people are constantly saying whatever speculation will get the most clicks, and Gunn has debunked the vast majority of them.

In short, all we know is we're getting a rebooted superman as part of it. That's all.

@Origame - Exactly. None of these other reports have been correct lol.

Miller must have some Epstein-like dirt on WB execs if they keep him around. He’s not a box office draw, his legal problems are incredibly problematic, and they have to see the sentiment from the fan base.

@mountainman - You forget he's part of Hollywood's two most VIP groups of people. He might not even need dirt.

I don't think anyone in Hollywood has ever played the Tiny Hat/LBGT double immunity as hard as he's doing right now. He's a trailblazer

I hope they just reveal whether it will be a full reboot or not and the movies for 2024 this month, and leave the rest for SDCC.

Also, I really want Green Lantern to show up in those first three years as well.

@bkmeijer1 - Does 2024 feel too soon? I mean they really need to start getting directors and casting very soon of they are planning to get a movie out in 2024.

But I agree, Green Lantern should definitely not be overlooked this time.

@CorndogBurglar - wouldn't be surprised if they already had talks behind the scenes or rework projects like Green Lantern and JLD into movies.

Gunn is already writing a Superman movie, so I think we can expect that next year with maybe one or two other movies (not counting Joker).

@bkmeijer1 - I really like GL as a comic book character, but I am not sure how you can portray his powers in a movie without it being really goofy.

@Shivermetimbers - honestly, I think even the 2011 movie with Reynolds did a good enough job at that. It will look goofy though
