However, his recent comments regarding the character’s future might diminish Gal Gadot’s chance of reprising the role of Diana Prince in the new DCU.
Gal Gadot’s future as Wonder Woman remains uncertain
With the new DCU set to include its own version of Batman and Superman, fans have been wondering whether Wonder Woman will be getting the same treatment or not. Even though Gal Gadot reprised her iconic role in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, following its poor performance at the box office, even Zachary Levi’s future in the DCU looks uncertain.
Considering James Gunn’s previous comments about the future of the character in the DC universe, where he expressed that they’re looking for possible voice actors, who can play the character in real life. It does seem that Gunn is moving forward from the original Trinity and Gadot’s future as Wonder Woman might not be much bright at the moment. James Gunn stated,
“In animation, we’re trying to cast the voices of the actors we want to play them in real life.”
Although there hasn’t been any official confirmation about the casting of the new DCU heroes. Following James Gunn’s comments regarding the new DCU, we might soon get an official confirmation about Wonder Woman’s future in the new DC universe.
