Films and series set into motion under the previous DC regime that did not fit the new leaders’ vision have been scrapped, and a new slate of projects was announced in January.Īmong the upcoming films is Gunn’s “Superman: Legacy,” which is set to introduce a younger Clark Kent to be portrayed by someone other than Henry Cavill, who had been playing the character in DC’s live-action films since 2013’s “Man of Steel.”Ĭompany Town DC Studios slate unveiled: James Gunn and Peter Safran’s plan to unify the comic book empire Since then, Gunn and Safran have shared some of their plans for a soft DC reboot meant to coalesce the franchise’s main film, TV and animation projects into one shared continuity known as the DC Universe. Discovery shakeup came the news that the studio would not be moving forward with Patty Jenkins’ previously announced “Wonder Woman 3.” She was also a part of DC’s 2017 superhero team-up “ Justice League.”īut Gadot’s future as Wonder Woman has been in question ever since James Gunn and Peter Safran were named co-chairmen and chief executive officers of DC Studios in October.

Her cameo is the payoff of a gag from earlier in the film, which sees Billy interacting with Diana (in his dreams) without ever showing her face - itself a tongue-in-cheek allusion to the faceless Superman cameo at the end of “Shazam!”ĭC film fans will remember that Gadot made her debut as the Amazonian warrior from Themyscira in 2016’s “ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” before headlining “ Wonder Woman” (2017) and “ Wonder Woman 1984” (2020). Of course, she doesn’t make a proper appearance until after the big battle is over. Luckily, Billy has at least one demi-god on his side: Wonder Woman.
