Wonder Woman: James Gunn Denies Diana Prince Casting Rumor

James Gunn has shot down a Wonder Woman casting rumor.

The DC Universe created by Gunn and Peter Safran was officially unveiled in December 2024, with the debut of Creature Commandos Season 1. Currently, Gunn’s Superman film is showing in U.S. cinemas, while Peacemaker Season 2 is due for release next month. In 2026, we can expect titles like Lanterns, Supergirl, and Clayface to hit the DCU.

At DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures, plans are underway for a Wonder Woman film. As of now, no formal announcements have been made about the director or who might portray Diana Prince. However, there’s a buzz online suggesting that DC might be looking for an actress with experience in television, which could potentially point towards Supergirl’s Milly Alcock.

What did James Gunn say about the Wonder Woman casting rumor?

On Threads, Gunn said that this rumor was untrue.

He replied, “Absolutely not.” He emphasized that he wouldn’t consider a leading role based on whether an actor has worked in TV, films, or any other medium. For him, it’s all about the casting process. Milly wasn’t chosen because of her past experiences, but because she was the most suitable for the part. However, we’re not discussing or even thinking about Wonder Woman until a script is finalized.

According to Variety, the Wonder Woman movie is being given priority at Warner Bros. Studios, implying that it might release ahead of Superman 2, and they also mentioned that no sequel announcement for the movie seems likely in the near future.

Gunn additionally spoke about Threads, stating, “It’s important, but not exactly expedited. Nothing will be produced unless we’re confident that the script is top-notch.

A new Wonder Woman-themed production is being worked on at DC Studios: “Paradise Lost,” a TV series that takes place on Themyscira island prior to Diana’s birth. This project was first revealed in 2023, but there have been no recent announcements regarding its progress.
