THE BIGGER PICTURE
Contrary to Gal Gadot’s recent comments about collaborating on the project, ‘Wonder Woman 3’ is not under development at DC Studios. James Gunn and Peter Safran, who lead DC Studio, have not planned any Wonder Woman project beyond the prequel series called Paradise Lost.
Inside sources closely associated with the matter have informed FilmSweep that development of ‘Wonder Woman 3’ at DC Studios is not taking place. This information stands in opposition to Gal Gadot’s recent declarations, in which she stated she was actively working with James Gunn and Peter Safran on the project. Besides Paradise Lost, a prequel series hosted on Max, Gunn and Safran have no other Wonder Woman projects in the works.
Earlier in the month, Gadot expressed her enthusiasm for ‘Wonder Woman 3’, sharing, “I love playing Wonder Woman. It’s so dear to my heart. James and Peter have told me that we’re going to develop ‘Wonder Woman 3’ together.”
She was also quoted more recently as saying, “I was told by James Gunn and Peter Safran in a meeting: ‘You’re in good hands. We’re going to develop Wonder Woman 3 with you. We love you as Wonder Woman — you have nothing to fear.’ Only time will tell.”
The reason behind the contradictory statements remains ambiguous. Although FilmSweep’s sources are verified and supported by Variety’s subsequent reports, no official explanation has been provided by the studio regarding Safran and Gunn’s conversations with Gadot.

The ambiguity also extends to the current status of some of DC’s other properties amid its ongoing in-development relaunch, specifically concerning Aquaman and Blue Beetle. While Blue Beetle is set to be a standalone film, its connection to Gunn and Safran’s future with DC remains undefined by the studio.
Aquaman’s situation, however, seems more complex.
Earlier reports conveyed that Jason Momoa left a meeting with DC Studios feeling optimistic and hopeful about his future. With the upcoming release of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’, he shared on social media that he met with Warner Bros., DC executives, and Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, and promised exciting news soon. He gratefully acknowledged Gunn, Safran, and Zaslav, but whether his understanding aligns with the actual situation, much like Gadot’s, is yet to be determined.

Blue Beetle as standalone movie? Intrigued but I want more details before I get my hopes up.
Excited for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom! Momoa never disappoints, hope the news is as exciting as he says.
i’m confused. James Gunn and Peter Safran told Gadot they are going to develop it, and now they arent? what’s happening here???
what about the prequel series? Paradise Lost sounds cool, hope they go on with it.
No Wonder Woman 3?!? Why would Gadot say she’s working on it then. Something doesn’t add up.
