We’ve been waiting for someone to throw the lasso of truth around the future of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman for a while now, what with her post-Wonder Woman 3 cancellation cameos in Shazam! Fury of the Gods and The Flash. Well, now Princess Diana of Themyscira herself has confirmed that she is going to be working on a third outing with DC’s new head honchos, James Gunn and Peter Safran.
Gadot was doing the rounds for her Netflix espionage-actioner Heart of Stone when she told comicbook.com that “I love portraying Wonder Woman. It’s so close to and dear to my heart, and from what I heard from James and Peter is that we’re going to develop a Wonder Woman 3 together”.
When Peter Safran and James Gunn took over as the creative forces reshaping the future of the DCEU, Gadot’s Wonder Woman appeared to be one of the most high-profile casualties of the restructure. Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 3 was quickly shelved, and the character was nowhere to be seen in the studio’s announcement of the Gods and Monsters phase of this new cinematic universe, although a prequel series – Paradise Lost – would explore Themiscyra prior to the events of Wonder Woman.
