Prior to James Gunn and Peter Safran announcing Chapter 1 of their new DCU slate, all signs pointed to Gal Gadot parting ways with Wonder Woman to make way for a new take on the character, but Gunn never actually confirmed that she was done as Diana during the "Gods and Monsters" reveal.
Earlier today, Gadot indicated that she would be staying put as the iconic DC Comics hero, and was developing Wonder Woman 3 with Gunn and Safran. This has led to some confusion, but we may now have a little more to go on.
According to insider @CanWeGetToast, Patty Jenkins was all set to return to helm the third movie, but Gunn felt that her take "didn’t fit with where he wanted to take Wonder Woman in the DCU." The original script was scrapped, but Gadot will be back as the Amazonian hero.
However, this new project won't be Wonder Woman 3!
Even though Gadot is staying in the role, it sounds like the movie will serve as a DCU reboot that will retain certain elements of the previous films and ditch the rest.
The source has a strong track record, but we'll obviously have to treat this as a rumor for the time being. Hopefully, Gunn will weigh in with some clarification soon.
