Has Wonder Woman's casting process already begun? Here's all about the latest DCU updates

Wonder Woman is a superhero character who has her own share of fan following. This DC character was given a live-action adaptation in recent years with Patty Jenkins' namesake film that came out in 2017. The film starred as the titular Amazonian warrior, and it turned out to be a critical and commercial success.

Recently, James Gunn had hinted that they are planning to reboot this storyline as well under the ongoing DCU. There is a new update that hints the studio is looking for a face to play that character. Let’s break down everything we know so far about this update.

DC Studios is casting for Wonder Woman

Nexus Point has revealed that DC Studios is currently casting for the role of Brainiac, who is the main antagonist in their forthcoming film, Man of Tomorrow. Besides this, James Gunn and his team are also looking to cast a female lead who is in her late 20s or early 30s. They reportedly prefer a tall woman, given the character’s strong, warrior-like physique.

All these things point to Wonder Woman. The character is an Amazonian princess and warrior and was previously portrayed by Gal Gadot. There's also a chance that this character is Black Canary. In July this year, Gunn had stated that they aren't doing the casting for it until they have a script.

“We’re also not casting WW, nor even discussing it, until a script is finished."

When a fan asked if the project is getting fast-tracked, the DC Studios co-CEO said:

“It’s a priority but I wouldn’t call that fast-tracked. Nothing is going to be shot unless we’re as sure as we can be that the script is good.”

Gunn was following actress Adria Arjona on social media and people on the internet speculated that she could be joining the DCU. During the Superman press tour, Gunn spoke about it:

“I follow Adria on Instagram but everybody came out [and said], ‘He just followed her, that means she’s Wonder Woman'. She’d be a great Wonder Woman, by the way.”

Ana Nogueira is currently writing a solo Wonder Woman film for DCU. The character was created back in 1941 by H.G. Peter and William Moulton Marston. Meanwhile, Superman has kick-started the DCU, which will continue to feature several films and shows, including Supergirl and Clayface.
