DC Wonder Woman Fast-Tracking Movie: James Gunn Responds
Ana Nogueira Tapped to Pen Wonder WomanS Next DCU Chapter
The DC Universe is gearing up for a meaningful expansion, and it seems a familiar face from the upcoming Supergirl movie is set to take on another iconic hero. Ana Nogueira, who is already scripting the highly anticipated Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, has been confirmed as the writer for the next Wonder Woman film within james Gunn’s new DCU. This news, first reported by The Wrap, signals a strong vote of confidence from DC Studios head James Gunn in nogueira’s storytelling abilities.
A Growing DCU Footprint for Nogueira
This marks Nogueira’s third major DCU project, solidifying her position as a key creative force in the new cinematic universe. Beyond her work on Supergirl, slated for a June 26, 2026 release, she is also developing the Teen Titans movie. This consistent involvement suggests that Gunn is particularly impressed with her talent and vision for bringing these beloved characters to life.
While the confirmation of Nogueira as the writer is a significant step, fans shouldn’t expect to see Wonder Woman on the big screen anytime soon. Much like the Batman-centric The Brave and the Bold, which also lacks a release date, the Wonder Woman film is still in its early stages of development. This means a first draft will likely take some time to materialize, followed by the extensive pre-production and filming processes.
What’s Next for the DCU?
In the meantime, DC fans have plenty to look forward to. The Supergirl movie is set to soar into theaters on June 26, 2026, followed by Clayface on september 11 of the same year. On the television front, the second season of the critically acclaimed Peacemaker is scheduled to premiere on August 21, and the new series Lanterns is expected to debut on HBO sometime in early 2026.The DCU is clearly building momentum,and Ana Nogueira’s involvement in bringing Wonder Woman back to the forefront is an exciting development for the future of the franchise.
