Gal Gadot’s Epic Journey as Wonder Woman
The first Wonder Woman was released in June 2017, as it took place in 1918 at the height of World War I. It narrates Diana’s origin story, from her upbringing as an Amazonian princess on the island of Themyscira through her trip into the outer world during World War I. She realizes her actual abilities as Wonder Woman and transforms into a symbol of hope fighting to put an end to the war and bring back peace. The film was a critical and commercial success, receiving praise for its empowering portrayal and captivating performance. In 2020, the debut of Wonder Woman 1984 revealed that Diana still had much to learn about her powers after facing new adversaries during the 1980s and exploring themes of truth and power.
Gadot debuted as Diana Prince in 2016’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Followed by two stand-alone sequels. She also played a prominent role in Justice League and was also a part of the recently released Shazam! Fury of the Gods and The Flash.
Fans React to DC Studios’ Casting Decisions: Gal Gadot Returns!
It was not long ago that DC Studios announced that David Corenswet was set to play Clark Kent in Superman: Legacy after Henry Cavill’s departure from the role. The film, which will be directed by Gunn, will also feature Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Similarly, Ben Affleck, who announced his DCEU departure back in 2019, showed up with his final face in 2023, The Flash.
In the realm of witnessing two major withdrawals, several fans comment on why not DCEU has a fresh start by casting a new Wonder Woman where Superman and Batman will appear in new faces.

The DCU has to be a fresh start with an all new cast. If you are going to get a new Superman and Batman you should get a new Wonder Woman. This time one who can actually act. https://t.co/mzpth0kFoA

Awesome news. It'd be sad to lose Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. Although we lost Henry Cavill's Superman and Batfleck. Justice for all!

I absolutely loved the first Wonder Woman movie. The second was god awful. I don’t think Gal was the problem and she’s a decent Wonder Woman so I hope she stays on.
