Gal Gadot Reports ‘Inelegant’ Treatment From DC Studios and Uncertainty About Wonder Woman

Actress Gal Gadot publicly addressed, on August 31, 2026, during an interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the complex situation involving the development of Wonder Woman 3 and the recent reorganizations at DC Studios.

She shared that James Gunn and Peter Safran, the current heads of the studio, had assured her that the film project would continue with her participation. However, Gadot admitted that the transition process for other members of the former DC Justice League was not handled delicately or appropriately.

“They informed me the opposite [of what was said about cancellation]. They said, ‘We’ll work on it with you,'” Gadot revealed regarding her dialogue with Gunn and Safran. “But I watched how everyone else was treated.” She referenced the episode involving Henry Cavill as an example of inappropriate treatment, given that the actor had announced his return as Superman in October 2022, only to be fired just two months later.

“Henry’s situation was not handled with finesse, to be cautious. The same happened with Patty Jenkins. I understand that we are all professionals and that is acceptable,” he added. Gadot reiterated that she has no hard feelings, acknowledging that Gunn and Safran are acting in accordance with their convictions for the best of the franchise, but expressed skepticism about an eventual return to play Diana Prince in theaters.

“So that I could, for example, make another Wonder Woman film, I’m not sure I could do it at this period in my life, with four children, different educational institutions and all the demands. Stepping away for such an extended period of time… It no longer aligns with my current routine”, concluded the actress.

Currently, there are no confirmed projects for a new Wonder Woman solo film, nor a new actress defined for the lead role. However, speculation suggests that Adria Arjona may be Gunn’s favorite to play the character, and that her portrayal of Maxima in Superman: Man of Tomorrow could be a way to preserve the official reveal.
