Gunn Denies Wonder Woman Casting Rumors

It’s noteworthy that Snyder shared this information around the same time rumors surfaced about James Gunn potentially including Wonder Woman in his new Superman film, Man of Tomorrow.

James Gunn addressed rumors on Threads, confirming the character isn’t involved. He explained they’re currently casting a female role for ‘The Marvels’ and suspects gossipers incorrectly guessed it was Wonder Woman.

It turns out the character is actually Maxima, not Wonder Woman, which corrects some earlier, incorrect reports.

Maxima is a strong alien queen from the planet Almerac who appears in DC Comics. She’s often depicted as trying to win Superman’s affection and has incredible powers, including super strength, the ability to read minds (telepathy), and control energy. While not usually a straightforward villain, Maxima is generally shown as an anti-hero or someone who helps the good guys when it suits her.
