The iconic Amazonian warrior, Wonder Woman, is making a triumphant return to the big screen, James Gunn, co-head of DC Studios amongst cast members from Superman revealed a lot of new information about the DCU and Superman film with Entertainment Weekly. A brand-new Wonder Woman movie is officially in the works, with the script being penned as we speak.
The Announcement
A Fresh Chapter for the Amazon Princess
- Official Confirmation: James Gunn has confirmed that a new Wonder Woman film is in development with EW, marking a significant milestone for the DC Universe (DCU). The script is currently being written, signaling that this project is moving full steam ahead. When talking about other projects he added this about a Wonder Woman film, “being written right now.”
- Separate from Paradise Lost: Unlike the previously announced HBO/Max series Paradise Lost, which explores the origins of Themyscira, this movie stands as a distinct entity. Gunn emphasized that the film is a separate endeavor, offering a fresh narrative for Diana Prince.
- Timing is Everything: With the DCU’s “Gods and Monsters” phase kicking off with Superman this July, the timing of this announcement feels perfectly poised to build momentum for the franchise’s future.

Wonder Woman is a statement of a superhero in DC’s rich comic history. Now, with a project in the new and improved DC Universe that is “being written,” we hope that Gunn will deliver on Wonder Woman, making the movie an epic cinematic event.
