Hollywood just torched its own rulebook—DC Studios axed Gal Gadot and is launching a deranged, Tabula Rasa reboot of “Wonder Woman.” Twitter? Screaming. Fans? Spilling invisible jet fuel everywhere.
Here's the uncomfortable (and genuinely hilarious) truth: Gunn's DC regime, fresh from nuking all-things-Snyder, is gambling everything on a clean slate. The Wonder Woman movie is, quote, “being written right now”—but don't dust off your Lasso of Truth cosplay just yet. No creative team. No casting. Gal Gadot's out, shut out by a new vision so uncompromising it's practically allergic to nostalgia. The actress who swung the lasso through two blockbuster films just got stuffed in the franchise Phantom Zone.
Compare this to Marvel's slow-boil changes (remember when they spent two years dropping hints before killing Iron Man?). DC? Not so subtle. Gadot's exit is as abrupt as a Batmobile e-brake turn.
One $200-million-level nuclear twist: this Wonder Woman is being built with zero star wattage attached. Gunn confessed, “We're working on Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman's being written right now.” Translation: it's all blueprint, no bricks, but the intent is clear—burn everything, build from scratch, and ghost even the actors who defined a decade.
Rewind the tape. When Gunn and Safran took over, they didn't just sideline Patty Jenkins's “Wonder Woman 3”—they annihilated it, reportedly without much back-and-forth. The Jenkins/Gadot duo? Gone. Reasons? Officially: “reboot needs.” Unofficially: “1984” flopped, and the studio's allergic to even the mildest whiff of the Snyder era.
Pattern alert: Recasting, retooling, rewriting—Hollywood does this every leap year (see: Batman, Spider-Man, Ghostbusters, even James Bond after Brosnan's invisible car debacle). But this—this is next-level. DC isn't just swapping faces; it's auto-destructing and starting from nuclear fallout.
The “hidden story”? Unlike Marvel's incremental reboot, Gunn and Safran are swinging the axe through the franchise family tree, daring fans to keep up. When asked if these new projects—Superman (July), Supergirl (2026), Clayface, Dynamic Duo—will feed a new Justice League, Gunn's answer was a single, deranged word: “Sure.” (Which in executive-speak means: “Lol, maybe.”)
So, pick a side:
Is this “visionary creative overhaul,” or just Hollywood's version of smashing the Etch A Sketch because someone drew outside the lines? Would you buy a ticket, or short Warner Bros. stock? No judgment. (…Okay, maybe a little.)
