Gal Gadot portrayed Wonder Woman for almost a decade, leading the films Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman 1984, and both cuts of Justice League. She also made brief appearances in Shazam! Fury of the Gods and The Flash, marking the end of her time as the character within the original DC Extended Universe timeline.

DC Studios canceled plans for a third Wonder Woman movie following a significant leadership change with James Gunn and Peter Safran now in charge. The Wonder Woman story will continue as part of the new DC Universe, but a new actress is expected to take on the role of Diana Prince.

Look, as a movie fan, I’ve seen a lot of discussion about Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. A lot of people thought she looked the part perfectly – she really embodied the character visually. But you also had critics who felt her acting wasn’t quite up to par. It’s always a bit of a debate, isn’t it?

Beyond her work in superhero films, Gal Gadot has appeared in diverse roles. She recently portrayed the Evil Queen in Disney’s live-action Snow White and starred in the dramatic film In the Hand of Dante, which debuted at the Venice Film Festival.

After finishing his sci-fi movie, Rebel Moon, Zack Snyder is now focusing on more realistic stories. His next film, The Last Photograph, is a thriller about a kidnapping in South America, featuring Stuart Martin and Fra Fee. The story centers on a former DEA agent and a war photographer as they search for their missing family. Snyder is also working on an action movie for Netflix about a special unit within the Los Angeles Police Department.

Snyder’s decision to move beyond superhero and fantasy movies represents a significant change in his filmmaking career. Although his time directing DC films has ended, people are still discussing his impact on the genre online.
