James Gunn shares an update on Wonder Woman

Filmmaker James Gunn has recently addressed the rumours of casting for the Wonder Woman role. He took to Threads to clarify the reports and tease the casting as the DC Universe moves ahead with the release of Superman.

According to Deadline, there have been recent rumours that the makers were looking for a TV actress like Milly Alcock, who was earlier roped in as Supergirl. However, Gunn debunked the speculations about the casting.

Gunn explained that Milly was selected for the role because she is a good fit, not because of her previous film credits.

Responding to the post, Gunn wrote, “Nope. And I'd never in a million years look for a major role based on whether they did TV, films, or whatever. It's all about the casting. I didn't cast Milly because of her past, but because she was the best one for the role.”

He also said that casting for the Wonder Woman role has not started yet. He wrote, “We're also not casting WW, nor even discussing it, until a script is finished.”

However, the filmmaker then responded to another fan’s post about the filming for Wonder Woman having been “fast-tracked”.

James Gun replied, “It’s a priority but I wouldn’t call that fast-tracked. Nothing is going to be shot unless we’re as sure as we can be that the script is good.”

For the unversed, Wonder Woman originally features Gal Gadot in the lead role. However, she will not be returning in the iconic role.
