The sequel finds Diana coming into conflict with not one, but two formidable foes in the form of Barbara Ann Minerva aka Cheetah and the mysterious media mogul, Maxwell Lord. The last audiences saw of Gal Gadot as the DC superhero was in last year's Wonder Woman 1984, which found Diana Prince living during the height of the Cold War between the U.S. "As a matter of fact I wrote a song for you and for Gal, based on an original lyric I had started for my husband but when I did your movie I finished writing this song that comes out in October actually called 'Human and Divine,' and it's about the love of Wonder Woman." "It's so much more than a comic book character it is an idea and an essence," Carter said about the Wonder Woman character during the event, with the actress clearly very passionate about the DC icon. "Who would have thought in my life at this time in my life that this gift would just present itself to me, and that's so cool," the actress continued. Carter continued to cryptically discuss the DC sequel, likely teasing that her character, a legendary Amazon warrior who once possessed a powerful winged suit of armor, will feature in Wonder Woman 3. The first Wonder Woman was a big hit for Warner Bros., but its sequel Wonder Woman 1984 struggled at the box office during the COVID-19 pandemic, and faced a tough reception from critics and fans."Wonder Woman 3 is coming!" Lynda Carter, who played the titular heroine in the 1970s Wonder Woman series and made a cameo midway through the credits of Wonder Woman 1984 as Asteria, added. Earlier this year, her Star Wars Rogue Squadron movie was removed from Disney’s schedule after delays. Wonder Woman 3’s cancellation continues a run of bad luck for Jenkins. Oddly, it’s rumored that while Jason Momoa’s portrayal of Arthur Curry will be culled alongside Gadot and Cavill’s Wonder Woman and Superman, the actor is being lined up to join Gunn and Safran’s new cast in a different role - that of alien bounty hunter Lobo, an antihero character very much in line with Gunn’s irreverent sensibilities.ĭirector Matt Reeves’ planned sequel to The Batman with Robert Pattinson, and the linked pocket universe of Gotham-set TV shows, are said to be unaffected by Gunn and Safran’s clean slate. Cavill’s cause won’t have been helped by Black Adam’s lackluster box office performance star Dwayne Johnson claimed to have lobbied hard to bring Cavill back, but it seems his play to be a power-broker in the new DC universe has run out of steam, and a Black Adam sequel looks unlikely.Īs it stands, the final DC movie of the current era is set to be Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, set for release in December 2023. As recently as that, a sequel to Snyder and Cavill’s Man of Steel was in active development according to The Hollywood Reporter’s sources, with director Andy Muschietti ( It and the forthcoming Flash movie) proposing a return to the optimistic, colorful style of Richard Donner’s 1978 Superman.īut it now seems that might not be part of Gunn and Safran’s plan, and the studio is said to be considering whether a cameo Cavill filmed should be included in The Flash, scheduled for release in June 2023. It also throws into doubt the return of Henry Cavill as Superman, as trumpeted by his post-credits scene in October’s Black Adam. The cancellation of Wonder Woman 3 is the strongest indication yet that Gunn and Safran want to make a clean break with the last 10 years of DC films, particularly the “Snyderverse” cast put together by director Zack Snyder for the Justice League family of movies. “I’ve been so grateful for the opportunity to play such an incredible, iconic character Can’t wait to share her next chapter with you,” she wrote. They apparently told Jenkins personally that her film did not fit their new plans.Īs recently as Tuesday, Gadot seemed unaware of the film’s cancellation when she posted a photo of herself in character as Wonder Woman on Instagram. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the pair are due to present their vision to their boss, Warner Bros. The move comes as director James Gunn and producer Peter Safran, recently appointed as co-chairs and co-CEOs of the new DC Studios division, are putting the finishing touches on their plan to revitalize and reorganize DC’s presence in movies and TV. Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the project “is not moving forward and is considered dead in its current incarnation.” is not going ahead with a third Wonder Woman movie from director Patty Jenkins and star Gal Gadot, according to a new report.
