Who will replace Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman? Maybe Ana de Armas? Or Melissa Barrera? Let's look at the brightest candidates for the role.
After it became known that Gal Gadot will not return to the role of Wonder Woman in James Gunn's DC universe, fans and media have been actively discussing who will become the new Diana Prince. Gunn himself confirmed that the script for a new Wonder Woman film is already being written and that the project is a priority for the studio.
Direct casting has not yet taken place, but fans are already trying on the iconic image for many popular and not-so-popular actresses. Let's look at the most discussed candidates.
Alexandra Daddario
For over a decade, fans have been suggesting Daddario for the role of Wonder Woman.
In a 2013 interview with Collider, the actress enthusiastically stated that she would "love" to play Diana Prince.
Daddario is already familiar with the DC world—she voiced Lois Lane in several animated films. According to her, she would be happy to see the character's development even without her involvement.
Melissa Barrera
Barrera rose to fame thanks to the "Scream" films and showed that she can lead a major franchise.
In an interview, she noted that not only the popularity of the role matters, but also the example the actress sets for viewers: "I want whoever gets the role to embody the essence of the character and use their influence for good."
She hasn't directly stated a desire to play Wonder Woman, but she is positive about it.
Eiza González
González auditioned for the role of Catwoman in "The Batman" but didn't get it, losing out to Zoë Kravitz.
In a 2024 interview with Comicbook.com, she admitted that she doesn't believe in her future in the DC universe: "My chance has already passed, and nothing worked out."
Despite this, she loves superhero films, but it seems she is not eager to join the franchise. But hope springs eternal.
Adria Arjona
Over the past year, Arjona has become the most discussed candidate for the role of Wonder Woman on social media.
Her work in the series "Andor" proves that she can play a complex and charismatic character.
At the premiere of "A Minecraft Movie," Arjona, responding to a fan's question about Wonder Woman, suggested writing about it online and helping her get the role—meaning she is interested. The main thing is to forget her previous unsuccessful experience with comic book films.
Ana de Armas
De Armas is one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood right now. Known for films like "Blonde," "Blade Runner 2049," and "Ballerina."
In a 2023 interview with Wired, she was asked about the role of Wonder Woman. At the time, she said that Gal Gadot was doing a great job and saw no reason to change the actress.
Now the situation has changed, and perhaps de Armas will reconsider her opinion.
Conclusion
Who will become the new Wonder Woman is still unknown—casting will begin only after the script is completed. But the interest of actresses and discussions on social media show that the role will be a desirable and responsible task for the future performer. And who would you trust to portray Diana Prince on screen?
