Is Wonder Woman 3 canceled? A new report suggests the Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins sequel isn’t going ahead, and neither is a Henry Cavill Superman movie or Black Adam 2. Fans reacted with anger to the rumor, with calls to fire James Gunn and Peter Safran, the new heads of DC Studios, who only started in November 2022.
Wonder Woman 3, Superman, Black Adam 2 reportedly canceled
According to a story by The Hollywood Reporter, the new heads of DC Studios are reportedly looking to clean the slate of the DCEU before starting their new 10-year plan. Casualties supposedly include Wonder Woman 3, Man of Steel 2, and Black Adam 2.
THR’s sources say that Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 3 starring Gal Gadot is “considered dead in its current incarnation” and that the executive team told Jenkins that her treatment “did not fit in” with their new plans. This does not mean Wonder Woman 3 is outright canceled, which seems unlikely, but it is unknown if Jenkins will direct it. On December 6, Gal Gadot posted a tweet thanking the fans and how she “can’t wait to share” Wonder Woman’s next chapter, which all seems like interesting timing.
The fate of Man of Steel 2, or the next Superman movie starring Henry Cavill, is also uncertain. THR’s sources report that Warner Bros is unsure whether to keep a Superman cameo in The Flash if they have no plans to follow it up. This comes after Cavill’s Superman made a much-publicized cameo in Black Adam, which itself may not get a sequel.
Fan reactions to all this have been extremely negative. ‘#FireJamesGunn’ is trending on Twitter, along with ‘#BringBackZackSnyder’ and more.
While The Batman 2 and its spin-offs seem safe, any movies in the DC universe could now be in danger, if this report is accurate. As of the time of writing, James Gunn, Peter Safran, and Warner Bros have not commented on the situation. DC fans are likely holding their collective breaths right now.
The next DC movie up is Shazam: Fury of the Gods, which is reported to have a cameo by Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman.
