The new Wonder Woman movie will be part of a wider Wonder effort and will sit alongside the HBO Max prequel series Paradise Lost. That show is said to explore the origins of Wonder Woman’s all-female homeland, Themyscira, in an epic, Game of Thrones-like series about Amazons. However, in June, Gunn said that the Wonder Woman movie would be a “separate thing” from Paradise Lost, which he described as “slow moving, but it’s moving.”
The new Wonder Woman will feature a new actress in the role, despite Gal Gadot’s eagerness to return to the part. The 2020s, which kicked off with her much-mocked “Imagine” video, have not been kind to Gadot, and her cameos in The Flash and Shazam: Fury Of The Gods probably didn’t help her cause. In 2023, she said, “Things are being worked behind the scenes[…]once the right moment arrives, you’ll know about it.” However, after Dwayne Johnson recalibrated the hierarchy of power in DC, Gunn opted to reboot the entire enterprise, leading to a particularly awkward meeting between Gunn and Henry Cavill. Gunn probably had a lot of those meetings that year. It can’t be easy to fire the Justice Gang League.
