Actress Gal Gadot appears to be done with her role as DC hero Wonder Woman, telling ScreenRant in an interview that she hadn’t had any discussions with either director James Gunn or DC Studios about returning, and giving a message to the next Wonder Woman.
“This is such an incredible character that so many of us care about so much, so whoever it’s going to be to portray her, I wish for her that she enjoys this amazing ride with this amazing character,” Gadot said.
“I’m just grateful that I was granted the opportunity to wear her boots and celebrate this incredible character and everything she stands for,” Gadot added.
In total, Gadot appeared as Wonder Woman in six films, with her last appearances being cameos in Shazam! Fury of the Gods and The Flash three years ago.
Wonder Woman Three canceled and rewritten
While a third Wonder Woman movie starring Gal Gadot was greenlit in 2020, the DC Universe began a reset in 2022 led by Gunn and Peter Safran. The third Wonder Woman movie did not fit their plan and was canceled.
DC’s new line-up of movies left behind many familiar faces. Neither Henry Cavill nor Jason Momoa returned to play their titular characters, Superman and Aquaman. Momoa later returned as a different character in DC’s new movies.
Gadot appeared hopeful in 2023, telling Flaunt that Gunn and Safran told her at the time they would develop a third Wonder Woman movie with her and that she had “nothing to worry about.”
However, even as a new Wonder Woman reboot is being written by Supergirl writer Ana Nogueira, Gadot said she hadn’t discussed returning.
