Gal Gadot Shades Studio After Wonder Woman 3 Canceled, Henry Cavill Dropped

Key Points:

• Gal Gadot stated that DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran initially told her they planned to develop "Wonder Woman 3" with her reprising the role, contradicting reports that the project was not in development.
• Despite Gadot's claims, sources close to DC Studios told Variety that no promises or definitive discussions had occurred about a third Wonder Woman film or Gadot continuing as the character under the new DC leadership.
• Gadot, who originated Wonder Woman in Zack Snyder’s DC Universe and starred in two standalone films directed by Patty Jenkins, acknowledged she was not surprised to be replaced due to how other talent like Henry Cavill and Jenkins were handled during the DC transition.
• Patty Jenkins had been developing "Wonder Woman 3" before Warner Bros. passed on her treatment, leading to her exit and the project's collapse amid DC Studios’ restructuring under Gunn and Safran, who are rebooting the DC Universe with new talent.
• Gadot indicated she is unlikely to return as Wonder Woman even if offered, citing personal commitments and a shift in priorities, signaling an end to her tenure as the iconic character for the foreseeable future.
