Gal Gadot Says DC Execs Assured Her Wonder Woman 3 Would Happen, Then It Didn't

Gal Gadot has stated that James Gunn and Peter Safran personally told her Wonder Woman 3 was in development, but the project was later canceled without a clear formal notice. She described the handling of the cancellation as 'not elegant,' referencing similar treatment of Henry Cavill and director Patty Jenkins. Despite the confusion, Gadot says there is no ill will between her and the DC leadership.

The Wonder Woman 3 project cycled through multiple reported statuses in the early 2020s, shifting between greenlit and canceled as DC Studios underwent leadership changes. Gadot maintains that Gunn and Safran personally assured her the film would be developed with her involvement, yet no formal cancellation notice ever arrived. She draws parallels to Henry Cavill's experience, who announced his Superman return in October 2022 only to be dropped two months later, and to director Patty Jenkins' treatment. Gadot emphasizes she holds no resentment toward the current DC leadership, acknowledging they must pursue their creative vision. However, she suggests that even a future offer wouldn't tempt her back, citing the demands of raising four children and the lengthy commitment a Wonder Woman production would require. The character's DCU debut remains unannounced, with upcoming projects including Clayface, Man of Tomorrow, and the Lanterns television series.
