The DC Universe will probably be getting a brand new Marvel Lady. That is inevitable and confirmed. The large query is, when are we going to see Diana Prince make her entrance into the DCU? With director James Gunn’s “Superman” follow-up “Man of Tomorrow” set for subsequent 12 months, the rumor mill is abuzz on that entrance, and Gunn has now weighed in on these rumors.
Gunn, who additionally serves because the co-head of DC Studios at Warner Bros., lately did some rumor management on social media. He has lengthy been huge on getting forward of rumors, dating back to debunking rumors like Hulk appearing in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.” Gunn has now addressed the Marvel Lady of all of it head-on. “No,” Gunn mentioned flatly in response to a fan query on Threads about Marvel Lady showing in “Man of Tomorrow” subsequent 12 months. “We’re at the moment casting a feminine character in MoT. My solely guess is scoopers are taking a stab at guessing that is WW.”
Gunn additionally clarified rumors suggesting that actors lately auditioned for Marvel Lady and Batman saying, “No. All these rumors of Batman and Marvel Lady auditions are false.” So there we’ve it.
Not a lot has been confirmed but about “Man of Tomorrow,” but Lars Eidinger will portray the DC Comics villain Brainiac within the film. David Corenswet will even return as Superman, with Nicholas Hoult reprising his position as Lex Luthor, with the 2 anticipated to unite to tackle the bigger risk that’s Brainiac. Different “Superman” solid members are anticipated to return, simply do not anticipate a brand new Marvel Lady actress to be on the decision sheet. Gunn did not technically, explicitly say that Marvel Lady will not be in “MoT,” simply that no one has auditioned and that the feminine position they’re at the moment casting for is not her.
Marvel Lady is coming to the DC Universe however (in all probability) not in Man of Tomorrow
Nonetheless, he just about made it clear that is not taking place but. It was reported final 12 months that Ana Nogueira (“Supergirl”) is writing the script for a new “Wonder Woman” movie. Nearly nothing else has been confirmed, and James Gunn has made it clear time and time once more that these tasks will not get the inexperienced mild till the script is correct. Meaning it is extremely unlikely that the casting seek for Marvel Lady has began but.
What we all know for sure is that “Wonder Woman 3” starring Gal Gadot isn’t happening. That was definitively confirmed in 2023. Gadot beforehand performed the half in 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Daybreak of Justice,” 2017’s “Marvel Lady,” and 2020’s “Marvel Lady 1984,” in addition to “Justice League.” Gunn and DC Studios co-head Peter Safran have totally rebooted the DCU, which implies recasting many of the core actors from the DCEU, aka the Snyderverse. So do not anticipate to see Ben Affleck present up as Batman once more, both. That will even be a brand new actor, with Robert Pattinson not making the jump to the DCU from “The Batman” universe.
That is to not say acquainted actors will not be showing in new capacities. Former “Aquaman” star Jason Momoa is taking part in Lobo in “Supergirl,” with Gunn recently offering our best look yet at him in motion. So who is aware of? Perhaps Gadot might play another person within the DC Comics canon down the road, however a brand new actress will probably be taking on the mantle as Marvel Lady in some unspecified time in the future. As for who that will probably be? We’re nearly definitely not going to be discovering out any time quickly.
“Man of Tomorrow” hits theaters on July 9, 2027.
