When it was first introduced that James Gunn and Peter Safran have been taking on DC Movies, and that a wholly new DC Universe would launch from that, followers had lots of questions. Whereas it quickly turned clear we might get a brand new Superman and a brand new Batman, the way forward for different main DC characters was quite a bit much less clear, most notably, Marvel Girl. Plainly’s actually beginning to change, although.
The primary Marvel Girl film starring Gal Gadot and directed by Patty Jenkins was certainly one of DC’s largest hits within the earlier franchise, and but, the unique unveiling of James Gunn’s first chapter of the DCU had no particular path ahead for the Amazonian. In a latest dialog with EW, nonetheless, Gunn confirms that not solely is a brand new Marvel Girl film deliberate, it is at the moment in growth. Gunn mentioned…
We’re engaged on Marvel Girl. Marvel Girl’s being written proper now.
Contemplating Marvel Girl’s recognition and former success, it was a bit shocking that she hadn’t been talked about within the first batch of upcoming DC motion pictures. Followers will now definitely have lots of questions on what the plan is for this new film, however they’re going to certainly be joyful to listen to that it is taking place. Whereas the film is outwardly being written, Gunn doesn’t point out who is definitely penning it. This is not uncommon, after all. As an illustration, it is recognized {that a} DCU Batman film can be being written, and a author for that movie hasn’t been revealed both.
As for the larger plan side of this, the film is not the one piece of the brand new DCU linked to Marvel Girl. Gunn confirmed that the beforehand introduced Marvel Girl-adjoining challenge, Paradise Misplaced, a prequel collection set on the island of Thymascira, WW’s dwelling, however set lengthy earlier than her time, was nonetheless in growth. Gunn known as the collection “slow-moving” however assured that it’s nonetheless transferring ahead.
Initially, with the prequel collection introduced and not using a directMarvel Girl challenge, it appeared the collection was probably designed to face alone. With a film now confirmed to be in growth, one wonders if there could now be extra direct connections between the 2 items of the franchise.
With regards to the movie, the subsequent large query, after all, might be simply who’s going to play Marvel Girl. Gunn made it clear that call has not been made. He has beforehand mentioned casting is not thought-about till a script is completed. Casting anyone new within the function would appear to be the more than likely state of affairs however, as some actors from the earlier DC franchise are set to return within the new one, the return of Gal Gadot can’t be totally discounted.
There have been plans for a Marvel Girl 3 starring Gadot earlier than the franchise reboot occurred. For some time, there have been conflicting reviews relating to who finally walked away from the challenge first. However, I am excited that James Gunn and co. are transferring full steam forward with a purpose to craft a brand new model of the Amazonian warrior for the DCU.
