Overview

  • Wonder Woman’s standalone reboot has been prioritized over a Superman sequel after Superman: Legacy underperformed in international markets despite strong domestic returns.
  • Scripts for both Wonder Woman and The Brave and the Bold are in development, with the Amazonian heroine’s project receiving fast-track status under the new DCU slate.
  • James Gunn’s script-first policy means no project will move into production until he personally approves a completed screenplay.
  • Multiple drafts of the Wonder Woman script are underway with no release date set and Gal Gadot is not expected to reprise the role in the DCU reboot.
  • Studio executives are impressed by Matt Reeves’s Batman Part II screenplay, reducing the immediate need for additional Batman projects and allowing focus on other pillars.
