The DC Studios Wonder Woman reboot has received its first notable update in 14 months, and it came from someone who is not working on it.
Tom King, the DC Comics writer currently serving as showrunner on the Mister Miracle animated series for James Gunn's DC Universe, addressed the project in a recent interview with Inverse. King clarified that while he had previously served as a consultant across various DC projects, he is not part of the Wonder Woman film. According to Screen Rant, King told the outlet, "For a while I had a job where I was a consultant — like a nerd consultant — so I worked on a lot of different sort of [DC] projects. But between Lanterns and Mister Miracle… I'm not involved in Wonder Woman except to say I hope it's going to be utterly brilliant. I hope the people who are building it stay true to who that character is, because she's just one of the greatest heroines ever created."
The film is being written by Ana Nogueira, who also wrote the script for 2026's Supergirl and is developing a Teen Titans film. Gunn first announced the Wonder Woman reboot in June 2025 in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. Gal Gadot, who played the character in the DC Extended Universe, will not return for the new version.
A Variety report from July 16, 2025 cited sources saying the studio was fast-tracking the project. Gunn pushed back on that characterization two days later on Threads, writing, "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."
King had been part of an earlier writers' room assembled when the DCU was first being built, alongside Jeremy Slater, Drew Goddard, Crystal Henry, and Christina Hodson. His focus has since shifted entirely to his own projects. He co-developed the Lanterns series, which recently premiered on HBO, and is now leading the Mister Miracle animated series based on the comic run he created with artist Mitch Gerads.
No casting announcements, production timeline, or release date have been confirmed for the Wonder Woman film. Nogueira remains the only confirmed creative attachment to the project.
