Previously, part 3 of Wonder Woman was announced to kick off on December 27, 2020, just two days after Wonder Woman 1984 (part 2) was released. This is expected to be the last part with the return of Patty Jenkins, in the role of writer and director, and Miss Israel Gal Gadot as the female lead Diana.
The cancellation of Wonder Woman 3 will help Gal Gadot explore new horizons.
However, by December 2022, news of Wonder Woman 3 being canceled appeared just a day after Gal Gadot posted an article sharing about this role on social networks. “A few years ago, when it was announced that I would be playing Wonder Woman, I was so grateful to have been given the opportunity to play such an iconic character,” she wrote. I can’t wait to share the sequel with you.”
The reason for the cancellation was said to be that the sequel no longer aligns with DC’s future plans. After taking over DC Studios as co-presidents, James Gunn and Peter Safran are navigating a new journey for the DC cinematic universe. The most obvious sign is that the duo has begun to “clean up” the plans of Warner Bros. about the DC series previously designed by director Zack Snyder.
Meanwhile, the DC Universe is moving forward with ambitious plans. While Wonder Woman 3 may not appear, there is a whole series of movies and projects in development. Among them are Creature Commandos (no release date yet) and Superman: Legacy slated to hit theaters on July 11, 2025. Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman era may have come to a crossroads, but her spirit is still as fierce and restless as the character she portrays.
