Almost a year after Variety reported that DC Studios was fast-tracking a new Wonder Woman movie, the writer working on it now says it is still in the early stages.<\/p>\n

The news comes with it learned that the latest DCU movie, Supergirl, is flopping at the box office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ana Nogueira, who wrote Supergirl and is now attached to both Wonder Woman and Teen Titans<\/a>, was asked by Variety where those two projects stand. <\/p>\n

Her answer didn\u2019t point anywhere near production.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, they\u2019re so early,\u201d Nogueira said, adding that the two are in \u201cvery different stages\u201d and that it is \u201cstill early days on both.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wonder Woman fast-tracked after Superman release<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a notable distance from the framing last summer. <\/p>\n

On July 16, 2025, less than a week after the Superman release, Variety reported that Warner Bros. was fast-tracking Wonder Woman<\/a> rather than rushing a Superman sequel. <\/p>\n

No official announcement came with it. Wonder Woman was never officially greenlit. Eventually, Man of Tomorrow was announced, continuing Gunn\u2019s \u201cSuper Family\u201d approach.<\/p>\n

The one name fans kept pushing for the role, Adria Arjona, also looks spoken for elsewhere. She has since been reported as playing Maxima in Man of Tomorrow, taking the most popular Wonder Woman fan-cast off the table.<\/p>\n

Gunn had only confirmed the project was being worked on, and that it would get greenlit if the script was good enough. He said the same about Supergirl.<\/p>\n

Eleven months later, that\u2019s still where it sits for Wonder Woman: no date, no cast, no director, and the writer herself calling it \u201cso early.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two DCU \u201cpillars\u201d that aren\u2019t moving fast<\/p>\n

The pace matters because Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has named Wonder Woman one of the four \u201cpillars\u201d of the DCU, alongside Superman, Batman, and Supergirl. <\/p>\n

At the moment, those pillars all look shaky, and two of them are nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n

Supergirl just opened to $40 million and lost the weekend to Toy Story 5<\/a>. Wonder Woman, by the writer\u2019s own account, is still in the early going. Add in Teen Titans, which Nogueira grouped into the same early-stage bucket, and a chunk of the DCU slate is still on the page rather than the screen.<\/p>\n

The bigger question is whether Gunn and Safran will even be the ones to make it. <\/p>\n

With the sale of Warner Bros. Discovery to Paramount, it\u2019s no longer a given that their DC plan, Wonder Woman and Batman included, survives the change in ownership<\/a>. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s a long way from the fast-track headlines of last July, and a reminder that DC\u2019s ten-year vision is still, for now, mostly wishful thinking.<\/p>\n
