Gal Gadot Is Expected To Appear As WONDER WOMAN In Several Upcoming DC Comics Movies

Though the DCEU is currently in a state of flux, it sounds like the "reset" is going to keep a few familiar faces around, as Gal Gadot is reportedly set to play Wonder Woman in several upcoming projects.

Warner Bros. Discovery's CEO David Zaslav recently made it very clear that he plans to make significant changes to the studio's DC Comics-based output, and the DCEU (or whatever you want to call it) is due for a major shake-up.

Zaslav's "10-year plan" includes what he describes a "reset," but that doesn't mean everything we've seen from the Snyder Era on is going to be rebooted.

While speaking to Fandango's Erik Davis about the recent cancellation of Batgirl, The Wrap's Umberto Gonzalez mentioned that Gal Gadot is set to appear as Wonder Woman in several upcoming DC movies. "She's a team player, so I think she's going to be around for a while, I think it's safe to say," he added.

We know Wonder Woman 3 is in the works, and Diana is also expected to show up for a cameo in Shazam! Fury of the Gods. The Flash is another strong possibility, but what about Black Adam? We haven't heard any whispers of a potential WW appearance, but with the movie "due for release," it can't be discounted.

Gadot staying on as Wonder Woman probably won't come as much of a surprise, but it sounds like WBD might be positioning the Amazonian hero to lead the charge of the new DCEU in Batman and Superman's absence. The Dark Knight's future is unclear (the character is currently being played by three different actors), after all, and while Henry Cavill was reportedly contacted with an offer to reprise the role of The Man of Steel, we're hearing that he has very little interest.

Not much is known about Wonder Woman 3, but Lynda Carter is expected to return after making a brief appearance in the mid-credits scene of WW84 as legendary warrior Asteria, who was believed to have been killed when she sacrificed herself in order to allow her fellow Amazons to escape "the tide of man" and settle on the island of Themyscria. Diana donned her golden armor for the final battle against Cheetah.

What do you guys think? Is more of Gadot's Wonder Woman a good thing, or would you prefer to see the focus shift to another character? Drop us a comment down below.

she's been better in ensemble movies than her solo movies IMO, so this is good news.

@Waddles - I guess I don't even mean her acting as much as what she's given to work with.

Wonder Woman was pretty good, but IMO it's overrated because it was a step up from what preceded it. And then Wonder Woman 2 was just bad.

@thewanderer - I agree with this, but WW1 still wasn't a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination. But yeah, there weren't exactly many female superhero movies to compare it to. Or even many female superheroes on screen.

WW2 was abysmal. But I've liked her overall and don't feel like anything bad was her fault.

But I still can't get past the feeling that they could have found a better WW. If for no other reason than she's so skinny, and WW should be more muscular. But still, she looks fantastic so that doesn't bother me much.

@CorndogBurglar - oh yes, I"m not suggesting WW1 is a bad movie by any means, just that it gets propped up because people were disappointed in BvS and Suicide Squad that preceded it.

@thewanderer - bad take. Patty Jenkins is the only director to pull a good performance from Gadot. Snyder and Whedon could not.

The first WW movie was one of the best DCEU movies, but WW84 was among the worst CBM ever made, so I don't know what to expect from future movies tbh...

@SethBullock - Man I really must be in the minority for think WW 84 wasn't that bad. I find it more rewatchable than the first. WW1 is an overall better movie but the stuff they crank out in 2 was wild. Lol

Everytime I see this header picture I wonder of the excrutiating pain that thumb is causing the guy, since it's being pressed to carry his weight.

What else is she going to do? Red notice 2?🤣

They should let Woss Jhedon direct the next Wonder Woman film.

She was good in Wonder Woman, Batman V.Superman:Dawn Of Justice and Justice League:The Snyder Cut,not so much Wonder Woman 1984.

So more good performances than bad, so yeah let's see more of her.

Once you remove her from the fish out of water schtick of the first film, Gadot’s weaknesses truly show. There’s such better casting out there.
