There is currently too much going on in the DCU cartel. With new reports coming in every day, the James Gunn and Peter Safran company is a hot topic in the current social media scenario. Reports of Wonder Woman 3 and Man of Steel 2 cancellations raised a storm on the internet. Amidst all this, a post raised quite a buzz on the Internet. The post asked if there are any chances of Zack Snyder returning to helm Wonder Woman 3 as Patty Jenkins’ script is reportedly trashed. The fans took no time to start a debate around the possibility.
Zack Snyder was the co-writer as well as the producer of the first Wonder Woman movie. Following that when Patty Jenkins wrote the story of Wonder Woman 1984 along with Geoff Johns, the movie couldn’t replicate the success of its predecessor.
Can Zack Snyder return in James Gunn’s new leadership?
There are currently a number of reports about the DCU that needs official confirmation from James Gunn and Peter Safran. The duo is currently on their plan of formulating a long-term storyline for the Universe to follow. Even James Gunn took to his Twitter to announce that not all of their decisions will be pleasing at first but they will surely have an impact in the long run.
As all of this was going on, a Tweet by a fan raised a debate on Twitter. Soon after the news of the Gal Gadot movie, a Tweet asked the fans their views if the Wonder Woman threequel is given to Zack Snyder to direct. The script of the third movie which was written by Patty Jenkins has been trashed by Gunn and it is very unlikely she will take a different take again.

Now it should be remembered that all the recent DCU reports suggest that they are on the way to erasing the SnyderVerse. Starting from the doubtful future of various films that started in the Snyder era to the end of Jason Momoa as Aquaman reports, all suggest a bleak fate for the SnyderVerse. Even though all these factors play a huge role, this Tweet gained a lot of attention.
The fans debate over the possibility of Zack Snyder’s return
From the reactions of the fans, it can be very well understood that most of them don’t think about the possibility of his return. Still, there is a certain amount of the Man of Steel director’s fans who are optimistic about a potential comeback.
Take a look at the conflicting reactions:
No, I don’t want Zack in the DCU no because I don’t like him is just his toxic fanbase.

Zack snyder should be 50 feet away from anything DC related

Zack Snyder will never work at DC again after he conned HBO into spending $100m more than budgeted remaking. He’s lucky he’s not being sued

I don't think so, no.
I think if DC wants to recover its own cinematic universe, it needs to reboot. Again.
Or just go back to making stand-alone movies and trilogies. Not everything has to be like the MCU.— ZacKow264 (@ZacKow264) December 10, 2022
Yes.the way he handled the fight between the Amazonians and Steppeneolf in ZSJL was beyond epic as it was poetic. I think he'd handle the mythology with a better approach than the whole "bring Steve back to life" BS. I'd have faith in it. As long as the writer isn't Geoff Johns.

He's the main reason that the first one was so well done, he and Deborah were majorly involved with the production of the film. When he left, we got WW84 and…Snyder understood these characters and no one can convince me otherwise.

Looking at the present scenario, the chances are very scarce for Zack Snyder to return. On the other hand, James Gunn’s future plans hint at a very different outcome than some people think. Moreover, Zack Snyder is also busy with his projects under the Netflix umbrella so it is highly unlikely that he will get any time even if the studio decides to change its mind.
Some reports also say that DCU is eyeing directors like James Mangold and Andy Muschietti for their upcoming movies. Now all hopes will lie on the official statements of the heads who are expected to announce the official updates at the beginning of 2023.
Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984 can be streamed on HBO Max.
