Gadot’s first two theatrical appearances as Wonder Woman seemed promising, but things haven’t been going so well for the DC Cinematic Universe. She last appeared significantly in Zack Snyder’s directorial cut of “Justice League,” which premiered on HBO Max in 2021, but since then she’s only reprised the role in uncredited cameo appearances in 2023’s “Shazam: Fury of the Gods” and “The Flash,” the latter of which is one of DC Studios’ biggest box office bombs in recent memory.
However, DC fans have hope that things will improve now that James Gunn and Peter Safran have taken over as co-Chairmen and CEOs of DC Studios. Their vision for the DC Cinematic Universe has already been laid out and looks promising, including a brand-new take on characters like Superman and Batman, as well as an HBO Max series centered on the island of Themyscira titled “Paradise Lost.” Sadly, there is no update on a future sequel to “Wonder Woman 1984.”
Gal Gadot, however, was optimistic about her return as the character. Gadot alleged that she had met with Gunn and Safran to discuss a future for the character of Wonder Woman, until it was contradicted by a report in August 2023 by Variety that no such continuation had been promised. Perhaps the studio is just being coy, but considering that Jenkins has already walked away from the project, Gadot’s tenure as Wonder Woman may be over.
