Is Wonder Woman Part of James Gunn’s DC Universe? Full Breakdown


With James Gunn and Peter Safran officially rebooting the DC Universe, fans are asking one big question: Is Wonder Woman still part of the new DCU? Will Gal Gadot return? Is there a Wonder Woman 3 coming?


Here’s everything you need to know, straight from the new DCU announcements and updates.

 The New DC Universe: What’s Changing?

In early 2023, James Gunn and Peter Safran revealed Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters, the first phase of their DC Universe reboot. This marks a complete overhaul of the DC film and TV lineup, beginning with the movie Superman (releasing in 2025) and including titles like:

  • The Brave and the Bold (new Batman)

  • Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow

  • The Authority

  • Creature Commandos

  • Paradise Lost (Amazon origin series)

But where does that leave Wonder Woman?

 ‘Paradise Lost’ – A Wonder Woman Spin-off Without Wonder Woman?

One of the first DCU projects is Paradise Lost, an HBO Max series focused on the Amazons of Themyscira, the birthplace of Wonder Woman. James Gunn describes the show as a "Game of Thrones-style drama" exploring the politics, power struggles, and origins of the Amazon society.

📌 Important note:
Diana (Wonder Woman) is NOT expected to appear in Paradise Lost, as the series takes place before her birth. However, it establishes the foundation of her world in the new DCU.

 Is Gal Gadot Still Wonder Woman?

Gal Gadot has been the face of Wonder Woman since 2016's Batman v Superman, starring in two solo films and Justice League. However:

  • Wonder Woman 3, previously in development with Patty Jenkins, has been canceled.

  • James Gunn has not officially confirmed Gal Gadot’s return.

  • Some reports claimed Gadot was working on a new project, but Gunn denied greenlighting any Wonder Woman film with her.

🎯 Bottom Line:
Gal Gadot's version of Wonder Woman is likely retired, along with the rest of the Snyderverse characters.

 Will There Be a New Wonder Woman?

James Gunn’s DCU is a fresh continuity, and just like we’re getting new versions of Superman, Batman, and Supergirl, it's very likely that a new Wonder Woman will be introduced later.

Fans speculate she could appear in:

  • A future season of Paradise Lost

  • A team-up movie like Justice League Rebirth

  • A standalone Wonder Woman film in Chapter 2 or 3 of the DCU

For now, no new actress has been announced to play Diana Prince.

While Wonder Woman is not at the center of James Gunn’s DCU – yet, the upcoming Paradise Lost series shows that her mythos still matters. Whether it's a new Diana Prince or a slow build toward a larger Amazon storyline, the future of Wonder Woman in the DCU is still developing.

📌 Stay tuned — because in a universe full of gods and monsters, a warrior like Wonder Woman is too iconic to leave behind.
