Simu Liu Endorses Melissa Barrera for Wonder Woman in James Gunn’s DCU. DC Studios

DC Studios says Wonder Woman casting will wait until a finished script.

Overview

  • In a JoBlo interview, Liu praised his Copenhagen Test co-star’s stunt training as “Wonder Woman-esque” and called her “a total badass.”
  • A clip of Liu’s comments drew wide attention on X, with one post surpassing 223,000 likes, according to trade coverage.
  • James Gunn has reiterated that DC is not casting or discussing the role until the script is done, and he denied a January 2026 casting timeline while Ana Nogueira continues writing.
  • Reports suggest Wonder Woman may first appear in the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow before a solo film, a sequencing detail that remains unconfirmed.
  • Barrera’s recent career has been closely watched after Spyglass fired her from Scream 7 in 2023 over social media comments about the IsraelHamas conflict.
