James Gunn’s DCU appears a good distance from casting its new Surprise Girl, which clearly implies that followers have needed to take issues into their very own arms – with slightly AI assist – and share what the ever-popular Ana De Armas might appear like because the DCU’s lasso-wielding heroine. The unique plan for the DCU included Paradise Misplaced, a sequence that will return into the historical past of Surprise Girl and Themyscira’s Amazons, however there was no phrase on whether or not the sequence remains to be coming, or when.
So whereas everybody waits to seek out out who will really tackle the position of Diana Prince, you may feast your eyes on de Armas in what boils right down to Gal Gadot’s costume as seen in her two solo films, and several other different collaborative appearances. It’s unlikely that de Armas will find yourself being solid within the position, and when Surprise Girl does make her DCU debut, it wouldn’t be an excessive amount of to ask for her to have a brand new costume too. Nonetheless, we take what we are able to, so for now, that is what you get.
The Way forward for Surprise Girl within the DCU is Unsure
If there may be one factor that has change into clear this yr, it’s that there’s nothing set in stone about the way forward for the DC franchise beneath James Gunn and Peter Safran. Lots of the tasks that have been initially introduced as being the primary 10 tasks for the “Gods and Monsters” chapter of the DCU have both modified, been pushed again, or been deserted totally.
Whereas Swamp Factor has gone into limbo due to the busy schedule of potential director James Mangold, and The Authority film has additionally been scrapped, Paradise Misplaced remains to be on the slate for the approaching years, however appears to have fallen slightly behind the place many anticipated it to be at this level.
In June, Gunn confirmed that Paradise Misplaced is “slow-moving, but it surely’s transferring.” He additionally famous that the sequence can have connections to the Surprise Girl film, which is “a separate factor, however being written proper now.” Nonetheless, a number of months later and we’re nonetheless ready for phrase on precisely the place both the sequence or film are at. Contemplating Man of Tomorrow has just lately been introduced, a film that was not even on the playing cards when the unique checklist of DCU films and exhibits was introduced, whether or not we do get to see Surprise Girl on display screen within the subsequent a number of years is at all times doubtful till affirmation of some particular progress comes from both Gunn or one other official supply.
In the case of Ana de Armas, her profession is doing simply nice without having to fret an excessive amount of if she isn’t the actress solid within the position of the DCU’s Surprise Girl. After her current John Wick film, Ballerina, and the disappointing Ron Howard film Eden, she will likely be seen alongside Tom Cruise in an upcoming supernatural deep-sea thriller.
