HOLLYWOOD LIES: Gadot Contradicts Gunn With SHOCK ‘WW’ Promise
The DC Universe reboot is officially in total chaos, and the blame lies squarely with Gal Gadot. The Wonder Woman star has unleashed an explosive, unsupported promise to fans that she will reprise her role as Diana Prince in a third film, directly contradicting the long-standing, well-publicized “clean slate” agenda of DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran.
In a jaw-dropping interview with ComicBook.com, Gadot insisted the trilogy is still alive and kicking. “I love portraying Wonder Woman,” she declared. But then came the absolute bombshell that has left the industry speechless: “From what I heard from James and from Peter is that we’re gonna develop a Wonder Woman together.“
This statement is completely out of step with reality. Gunn replaced Henry Cavill as Superman with newcomer David Corenswet for the upcoming Superman: Legacy. Ben Affleck is out as Batman. The DCU is scrubbing the past, yet Gadot is insisting she’s the one exception. Is she being truthful, or is this a massive power play designed to force Gunn’s hand?
The Scrapped Trilogy: Gadot’s History of Denial
This isn’t the first time Gadot has tried to spin the narrative around the publicly cancelled trilogy. Fans were left reeling late last year when Gunn and Safran officially scrapped plans for Wonder Woman , effectively ending Gadot’s run. The news came just one day after Gadot had tweeted, promising a “next chapter” to her fans. The timing was a huge public humiliation, suggesting the star was completely out of the loop on her own career fate.
Despite the official cancellation, Gadot has refused to accept defeat. Back in June, while appearing at Netflix’s annual Tudum fan festival, she teased Entertainment Tonight with vague, non-committal chatter: “Things are being worked behind the scenes.” She maintained: “Once the right moment arrives, you’ll know about it.” This constant leaking of “insider” information has only served to confuse the loyal fan base.
The previous director, Patty Jenkins, was also forced to address the chaos, denying reports that she walked away from the project due to creative disputes with DC. Jenkins publicly stated: “I never walked away. I was open to considering anything asked of me… It was my understanding that there was nothing I could do to move anything forward at this time.” Jenkins’ statement of defeat stands in direct opposition to Gadot’s current claim of a guaranteed return.
FAN FURY: ‘So Henry Had To Go, But She Stays?’
The confusion created by Gadot’s claim has immediately fueled a firestorm of fan outrage on social media. The public is slamming the perceived hypocrisy of the DC Studios leadership. If the DCU is truly a clean slate, why is Gadot the only star immune to the overhaul?
Clean slate, no crossover. Keeping anyone is a mistake in my opinion.
So Henry had to go, but she stays? I’m so confused. I thought the whole DCU was getting rebooted.
The consensus is that keeping Gadot will fundamentally compromise the reboot’s integrity. The argument is simple: if the new DCU is starting over, they must start over with everyone. Cavill was arguably the most popular figure in the previous cinematic universe, yet he was publicly replaced. Why does the star of the polarizing Wonder Woman —a massive critical and commercial disappointment—get a second chance?
️ THE INSIDER WHISPER: Is Gadot Really Meeting With Gunn?
The biggest question is whether Gadot’s promise is based on hard facts or pure hope. Is she meeting with Gunn and Safran, or is she simply reading tea leaves and spinning hopeful rumors into public declarations? DC Studios has been notoriously secretive about its plans, yet Gadot claims to have an inside track on a project that was officially abandoned.
If Gadot is indeed “gonna develop a Wonder Woman ” with Gunn and Safran, it would be a monumental shift in the DCU’s strategy, suggesting that the pressure to retain star power—especially after the success of the first Wonder Woman film—is too high to ignore. However, until Gunn makes an official announcement, Hollywood is treating Gadot’s claim with massive skepticism.
Jenkins’ previous statement, where she stressed that she didn’t want the journey to “land on a negative note” and wished the character an “amazing future ahead, with or without me,” feels far more realistic than Gadot’s current aggressive campaigning. Gadot is desperate to keep the Lasso of Truth in her hands.
The Batman and Superman Precedent: Gadot Should Be Out
The reality is that every other cornerstone of the original DC Universe has been replaced. Ben Affleck’s dark, gritty Batman is out. Henry Cavill’s Superman is gone, replaced by Corenswet’s younger, lighter take. The message was that the previous creative team, actors, and tonal direction were being wiped clean.
Allowing Gadot to return would not only confuse fans but would signal that the new DCU is already compromising its vision. Why bring back a star who is indelibly linked to the previous regime’s greatest success and its most embarrassing failure? It risks inheriting the exact kind of creative baggage Gunn swore he would eliminate.
The pressure on Gunn is immense. He must either publicly confirm Gadot’s statement, revealing a massive strategic U-turn, or publicly deny her claim, potentially sparking a messy, high-profile celebrity feud right before he launches his crucial first film, Superman: Legacy.
THE CLIFFHANGER: Is Gadot Telling The Truth, Or Just Lying To Save Her Job?
Gal Gadot is fighting for her future as Wonder Woman, the role that made her a global superstar. Her public claim that she is “gonna develop a Wonder Woman ” with James Gunn and Peter Safran is explosive. But the total lack of confirmation from DC Studios suggests she may be speaking out of turn—or worse, attempting to manipulate the situation.
The question of the year is now entirely focused on James Gunn: Is Gadot telling the truth about a secret DCU plan, or is she pushing a desperate lie to save her job from the impending reboot axe?
The silence from Gunn and Safran is deafening, and every day that passes without a denial only fuels the confusion and fan fury.
The DCU is holding its breath.
The fight for the Lasso of Truth is on.
Can the new DCU survive the baggage of the old?
