In interviews conducted for Netflix's Heart of Stone shortly before the SAG-AFTRA strike went into effect, Gal Gadot confirmed she will star in a new Wonder Woman movie for DC Studios.
Patty Jenkins isn't expected to direct that after James Gunn and Peter Safran decided the threequel wouldn't fit into their vision for the DCU, and there's currently no word on its place in the wider "Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters" slate.
Gadot is one of only a handful of DCEU actors reprising their roles in the new DCU, with a new Batman and Superman cast in place of Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill.
The latter has already been replaced by David Corenswet, while Rachel Brosnahan is the new Lois Lane.
Talking to ComicBook.com, Gadot was asked about Cavill's time as the Man of Tomorrow reaching its end. She chose her words carefully but seemed excited for the actors who were in the running to star in Superman: Legacy at the time this interview took place.
"I saw that they were testing, doing different screen tests, but I don’t know who got it, but it seemed like everyone was super legit and talented and, like, great," she says. "So I’m happy for them."
"It’s such a huge take-on and it’s such an exciting beginning to any actor, and I wish whoever it’s going to be the best of luck and enjoy the ride."
All signs currently point to Gadot's Wonder Woman sharing the screen with Corenswet and the next Batman. Ray Fisher is highly unlikely to return as Cyborg, while Ezra Miller's time as Barry Allen is surely over after the response to The Flash. Jason Momoa, meanwhile, is expected to swap Aquaman for Lobo.
As a result, Gadot will be the only original Justice League cast member in the DCU, an intriguing move on DC Studios' part. Whether casual moviegoers will find this confusing remains to be seen, particularly as The Flash failed to reset this shared world as promised.
