James Gunn puts Wonder Woman casting rumors to rest and reveals which big movie he’s being cast for instead.
Gunn was asked on Threads if the role, last played by Gal Gadot, is currently being cast.
“Hi James, is it true that actors were auditioning for the role of Batman in late 2025? I saw this rumor in my feed,” one Threads user asked.
The DC helmer clarified that all rumors about such auditions are false.
“No. All these rumors about auditions for Batman and Wonder Woman are false,” the Guardians of the Galaxy director wrote in a pointed response.
Meanwhile, another user asked, “Are the Wonder Woman MoT leaks real? I try to avoid leaks unless they come out of your mouth, but the rumors are getting so loud that it’s becoming hard for many of us to ignore.”
In response, the director shared why the rumors may have spread, revealing that DC is casting a woman for a role in Person of tomorrow (2027).
“No. We are currently casting a female character in MoT. My only guess is that scoopers are trying to guess that this is WW,” the Superman director replied.
Gunn has not revealed which character will be cast in the upcoming Superman sequel.
He has previously noted that Wondar Woman will not be cast until a script is ready for the film.
On Threads, Gunn wrote, “We also don’t cast WW, or even discuss it, until a script is finished.”
The next film that DC will release is Milly Alcock’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
