Earlier this year, Superman was released, setting the tone for DC Studios’ new DCU. While the focus was on re-introducing the title character, the hero’s supporting cast took a backseat, with James Gunn instead prioritizing the Justice Gang and even Supergirl’s debut.
It was nowhere near as bad as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceattempt to bring the Justice League into the DCEU, but Superman was a busy opening chapter for the franchise that had a lot riding on its shoulders. We now have a better idea of what’s in store for the DCU, but 2027 The man of tomorrow could be just as crowded.
Although it was previously reported that Gunn was looking for an actress for an unknown lead role in his Superman Following this, The Hot Mic’s John Rocha revealed today that the character is indeed Wonder Woman.
So far this has only been speculation, and although Gunn recently denied that we would receive any casting news next month.he never said outright that Diana Prince would not appear in the film. According to Rocha’s source, the role of Wonder Woman is one that many young and big Hollywood actresses are auditioning for.
If Brainiac is bottling up cities, then Themyscira is bound to be on his list when he arrives on Earth. Where does that leave the Paradise lost TV series presented as Amazonian Game of Thrones is not clear.
Gunn has repeatedly expressed a desire to give filmmakers creative control over the DCU projects they work on. However, it’s clear that he’s heavily involved in casting and wants to be the one to have the final say and set the tone for major players, such as Supergirl, moving forward.

But we’ve started on the first things, and there are other things that are very close to being greenlit – like there’s a TV show that I’m hoping we’ll greenlight in the next few days.”
“So now a little bit of time has passed, and we really need Wonder Woman and we really need Batman, because they’re so important to us. And so it’s become a little bit more like going to everyone at DC and being like, we need to figure this out.” » added the filmmaker. “We have good writers on Wonder Woman and we just need to make sure it works and they don’t have to be someone who’s going to take two years to write a script.”
Written and directed by James Gunn, The man of tomorrow stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl, and Frank Grillo as Rick Flag, Sr. We recently learned that Lars Eidinger will play the film’s big bad, Brainiac.
