Gal Gadot on Wonder Woman 3:

"I was invited to a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran and what they told me, and I’m quoting: ‘You’re in the best hands. We’re going to develop Wonder Woman 3 with you. We love you as Wonder Woman— you’ve got nothing to worry about.’" pic.twitter.com/gm9OBboOJi

The Latest Buzz

In a twist that will leave fans reaching for their Lasso of Truth, “Wonder Woman 3” seems to be grounded for now in the New DC Universe. Despite recent whispers and hopes, our favorite Amazonian princess won’t be flying back to our screens anytime soon. Here’s the scoop that’s left us all in disbelief.

The Wonder Woman Promise That Wasn’t

Gal Gadot, the iconic Wonder Woman herself, made hearts flutter with recent comments suggesting that James Gunn and Peter Safran had plans to develop “Wonder Woman 3” with her.

Contrary to Gal Gadot’s upbeat interviews, it looks like a third “Wonder Woman” film might not be taking flight. While Gadot seemed confident, insiders tell a different story. As per Variety’s sources, Gunn and Safran aren’t crafting a ‘Wonder Woman 3’ amidst the new line-up in the revamped DC Universe.

Unfortunately, sources tell a different tale. There are no plans for a third “Wonder Woman” film in the works, neither in the New DC Universe nor under Gunn and Safran’s wings.

Remember This?

Gadot, wearing her heart on her sleeve, previously shared with ComicBook.com, “I love portraying Wonder Woman. It’s so close to and dear to my heart. From what I heard from James and from Peter is that we’re gonna develop a ‘Wonder Woman 3’ together.” Oh, how the tables have turned!

Paradise Lost but Not Forgotten

While the thought of another epic had us all on the edge of our seats, recent details paint a different picture. Gunn and Safran, the new heads at DC Studios, seem pretty absorbed with their fresh roster of films, especially “Superman: Legacy.” As we’ve heard, the DCU is getting a makeover, so where does our heroine fit in?

Fans of Wonder Woman may be disappointed by the lack of progress on “Wonder Woman 3,” but there are other upcoming projects that they can check out. A prequel series named “Paradise Lost” is set to unfold in Themyscira, home of the Amazons. This “Game of Thrones”-ish story will delve into the political intrigue behind an all-women society. A brand-new look at Diana’s homeland, but without Diana herself.

The Comments that Raised Eyebrows

Gadot’s assurance of the development of “Wonder Woman 3” during her promotional tour for “Heart of Stone” caused quite a stir. According to Gadot, both Gunn and Safran assured her of the development, saying she’s in the “best hands.” Unfortunately, this turned out to be a false hope, breaking the hearts of Wonder Woman fans worldwide.

Gadot isn’t a newcomer to the DC scene. She first donned the iconic suit in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Subsequent hits like “Wonder Woman” and “Wonder Woman 1984” sealed her place in the DC hall of fame. But with the introduction of Gunn and Safran’s regime, it seems the DC Universe is being reshaped, potentially leaving Diana Prince behind.

Just going to say this right now. How it should be. Wonder Woman 3, should be called Wonder Woman 2. And it should pick up with Diana returning to Themiscyra directly after the events of ZSJL, and introduce Hades and the Underworld.

This should of course ignore WW84 entirely. pic.twitter.com/FAf7D7PFWD

Changes in the DC Wind

Late last year, the shocker dropped: “Wonder Woman 3” was shelved after Warner Bros. gave a thumbs down to Jenkins’ script for the sequel. With Jenkins bowing out and the change in DC leadership, fans couldn’t help but wonder if Diana’s next adventure got scrapped to fit the new vision of the DC Universe.

A Past Full of Wonder

The legacy of Gadot’s Wonder Woman, from her debut in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” to her standalone films directed by Patty Jenkins, will always remain a cherished chapter in DC’s history. The development of “Wonder Woman 3” was put on hold after Warner Bros. changed their plans for the DC Extended Universe, passed on Jenkins’ sequel treatment, leading to Jenkins’ exit and much speculation.

A Glimmer of Hope?

Despite the speculation, Gadot remains busy. On the heels of these revelations, she’s championing her latest venture, the Netflix thriller “Heart of Stone,” set to stream on Aug. 11. Who knows? Maybe we’ll see her wielding the Lasso of Truth again someday.

Conclusion

The sword and shield are back in the armory for now. “Wonder Woman 3” is not on the horizon, and the New DC Universe is charting a different course. But with the “Paradise Lost” series on the way, fans can still enjoy a bit of Amazonian magic. And who knows? Time may yet bring Diana back to our screens. Until then, keep those bracelets polished, and keep the faith, dear fans.
