Wonder Woman may soon be joining the DC Universe! A rumor reveals what type of actress DC’s James Gunn and Peter Safran are looking to play the Princess of Power.
Out of all the casting announcements yet to happen in the DC Universe, perhaps the one fans are most excited for is Wonder Woman. She’s by far the biggest hero in the franchise whose fate has been left in limbo following the reboot, with the only information fans have being the vague announcement that a solo movie is being written.
Recently, the rumor mill has suggested that an actress is being cast to play Wonder Woman in the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow. While very, VERY few details about the heroine’s potential role in the film have been revealed, that hasn’t stopped fans from wildly speculating who could play the character in the DC Universe. The number of fancasts has been truly innumerable.
Wonder Woman’s Requirements For The DC Universe
Hollywood insider MyTimeToShineHello has shed some light on what James Gunn and Peter Safran may be aiming for when casting Wonder Woman for the DC Universe. The scooper says that the duo is looking for a young, rising star to play the leading heroine, rumored to be Wonder Woman. In addition, they also reportedly want the actress to be “tall, [in her] 20s, and have fighting skills.”
If this rumor is true, it actually culls the field quite a bit for who could play Wonder Woman, as most popular fancasts for the character are actresses in their 30s. It’s more likely than not that a relative unknown is cast for the Princess of Power in the DC Universe, but some popular picks, such as Odessa A’zion, continue to have a chance due to their age.
Man of Tomorrow flies into theaters July 9th, 2027. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the DC Universe!
