There's a huge excitement to see Adria Arjona suit up as Wonder Woman in next summer's Man of Tomorrow (assuming that's who she's been cast as), but Diana Prince's solo outing may not be heading our way as soon as hoped.
Despite reports that DC Studios is fast-tracking the movie, a new rumour suggests that Supergirl's performance—it has 53% on Rotten Tomatoes and grossed only $126.4 million worldwide—is bad news for the Amazon.
According to Knight Edge Media's Caleb Williams, the Wonder Woman movie, while not cancelled, is on the back burner because of Supergirl. Williams added that "on hold" or "paused" also apply, confirming that the project is not in pre-production.
This is a disappointing update, but perhaps expected. Ana Nogueira wrote Supergirl and has since been hired by DC Studios to pen the scripts for Teen Titans and Wonder Woman. James Gunn has waxed lyrical about only moving forward with scripts the studio is happy with. However, he still has to answer to Warner Bros. Discovery, which is likely to be nervous about a Wonder Woman movie from the writer of Supergirl.
As of now, DC Studios hasn't announced anything for 2028. Clayface arrives next month and Man of Tomorrow is heading our way next summer, but that's it for now. Beyond Creature Commandos Season 2, no new TV shows have been confirmed beyond The People vs. Gorilla Grodd.
Gunn has previously described Wonder Woman as a "priority," but said, "I wouldn't call that fast-tracked. Nothing is going to be shot unless we’re as sure as we can be that the script is good."
That begs the question of how cameras started rolling on Supergirl, but Nogueira expressed excitement to be working on Wonder Woman while promoting that movie in June.
"[Teen Titans and Wonder Woman are] in very different stages, I’ll say that," she shared. "They’re all just such great characters, and I can’t believe I get to figure out what I would do with them the way that we did with Kara and Supergirl. But it’s still early days on both."
"It’s a huge compliment and a vote of confidence [to get the green light from James and Peter Safran]. It’s honestly quite overwhelming. I can’t even think of the size of it," Nogueira continued. "I just really try to keep my head down and make sure that I like the work that I’m doing, and that I think that it’s good work. I can’t write something that I don’t like. I can’t write something that I don’t see. I don’t have that gear."
There continue to be conflicting reports about whether the Themyscira-set Paradise Lost is moving forward. That's expected to be set hundreds of years in the past and likely won't feature Wonder Woman.
