The world of man is getting a new take on Diana Prince


It took a really long time for us to get a big screen take on Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman. And with the newly appointed DCU taking over, we wondered what would happen to our beloved goddess from Themyscira.

James Gunn and Peter Safran are reinventing the DC universe for Warner Bros. and while we’ve seen Gunn’s take on DC with Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad, his version of Superman is kicking things off for the DCU. One question remains for fans though: When are we going to see Diana again? Who will play our Wonder Woman?

According to Gunn, there is something in the works. He says that it is “being written right now.” That’s all the information that was given in a large spread for Superman in Entertainment Weekly. But it was enough information for fans of Diana to get excited about the potential of having a new take on the Amazon.

There are some other questions about the DCU as well. Including when Gunn’s universe will get their own version of Batman. The Batman and Robert Pattinson’s take on Bruce Wayne is its own separate thing in Matt Reeves’ world. So there is going to be a Batman as well and according to Gunn, it is “slow moving, but it’s moving.”

Let’s get a warrior Diana movie

We haven’t really had the chance to see a real warrior version of Diana Prince. Both Lynda Carter and Gal Gadot’s takes on Diana led with her compassion but Diana Prince is also a force to be reckoned with. She is powerful, forceful, and can hold her own against Superman. That’s impressive and I really want to be able to see that come to life.

In the comics, Diana Prince snaps Max Lord’s neck. In Wonder Woman 1984, she gave him a chance to change himself and while it was nice to not see Pedro Pascal die in something, it wasn’t really the Wonder Woman that people know and love. So it’d be nice with this new movie to have the chance to show Diana’s more brutal side.

Until we know more, there are fan casts. People have been talking about Katy O’Brian, Melissa Barrera, and Adria Arjona taking on the gauntlets.

Whatever happens with Diana, I’m just happy that she is on the table early in the DCU and we will have our Amazon yet again.
