<i>Wonder Woman</i>: What We Know So Far About the New Film

If Superman and the forthcoming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow weren’t enough, a new Wonder Woman movie is officially in the works, too. In June, James Gunn confirmed that a new iteration of Wonder Woman is “being written right now.” Ana Nogueira, who will also write Supergirl, is in talks to write the script. Here’s everything we know about the new DC movie.

Gal Gadot will not be reprising her role in the new Wonder Woman film. A new actress has not been cast as the titular hero yet, but Adria Arjona is rumored to be in consideration after people noticed that Gunn followed her on Instagram.

“I follow Adria on Instagram, but everybody came out [and thought], ‘He just followed her, that means she’s Wonder Woman,’” Gunn shared in an interview with Extra, per Deadline. “She’d be a great Wonder Woman, by the way.”

He also clarified that the follow wasn’t recent. They had previously worked together on his 2017 film The Belko Experiment. “She was in a movie that I made seven years ago,” he said. “We’ve been friends and have known each other since that time. I followed her then, I didn’t just follow her.”

In a previous interview with ELLE, Adria Arjona spoke about the types of projects she hopes to make. “I’m really intentional and I follow my intuition,” she said. “When [the right project] comes in front of me, I know that’s what I want to do next. When you’re in the arts, you can’t plan too far ahead. I could say right now, ‘All I wanna do is comedy.’ But [then I] would not be making good ones, you know? I like to stay as open as I can for the opportunities that are coming my way. I don’t wanna get in my own way.”

Not yet. On Threads, Gunn shared that though Wonder Woman is a “priority,” it’s not being “fast-tracked.” He continued, “Nothing is going to be shot unless we’re as sure as we can be that the script is good.”

No director is attached to the film yet, and screenwriter Ana Nogueira is only still in talks—not yet confirmed—to write the script.

It’s unclear whether Patty Jenkins will return after helming the two Gadot-starring Wonder Woman films. She was supposed to direct a third movie, but it did not move forward at Warner Bros. After the news broke in 2022, Jenkins said in part of a larger statement, “I wish her [Wonder Woman] and her legacy an amazing future ahead, with or without me.”
