James Gunn is methodically adding more characters to the new DC Universe. One of those superheroes is Wonder Woman. No plans have been announced regarding Diana Prince … until now.
In an interview with EW, Gunn revealed that a Wonder Woman movie is in development and “being written right now.” The movie is in addition to the previously announced Paradise Lost, an HBO series about the Amazonian warriors on the female island of Themyscira before the birth of Wonder Woman.
During an earnings call last month, Warner Bros. Discovery head David Zaslav revealed that the four most important characters to the DC Universe going forward are Superman, Batman, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman.
Gunn confirmed Zaslav’s comments and teased the importance of each character.
“I think that’s accurate, actually,” said Gunn about Zaslav’s comments involving the four pillar characters of the DC Universe. “I think that he got that from something I said. I wouldn’t say only those four characters, but I would say that those four characters are incredibly important to us. Right now, I feel great about where two of those characters are, and then we’re dealing with the other two.”
The two characters Gunn and his co-CEO of DC Studios, Peter Safran, feel confident in are Superman and Supergirl. Those two characters have movies built around their stories, with Superman opening on July 11 and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow flying into theaters on June 26, 2026.
Gunn has not cast the DCU’s Batman and Wonder Woman. It’s unlikely the new Diana Prince will be played by Gal Gadot, who starred as Wonder Woman in the previous DC Extended Universe.
As Gunn introduces more characters into the DC Universe, it will inevitably lead to a team-up movie. DC’s equivalent to the Avengers is the Justice League, which features premier characters like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, and more.
Gunn admitted that a team-up movie is on his mind but said, “There is no Justice League in this world … not yet.” Gunn then playfully agreed that his Justice League plans would tie into his vision for the DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.
David Corenswet, who plays the Man of Steel in Superman, called Gunn’s plans “awesome” but will try not to get ahead of himself.
“So if Justice League is in the back of his mind, that sounds great to me,” Corenswet told EW. “I’ll put it at the back of my mind, and we’ll see what happens.”
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
