Jakarta - The fans' wait to see Gal Gadot in action as Wonder Woman seems to have to be put on hold. Although the actress had promised that there was a plan to continue the adventures of the Amazon superhero.
In the Netflix show Tudum, Gal Gadot was asked about the possibility of her returning as Diana or Wonder Woman in the future. With confidence, he said this possibility could still happen.
"A lot of things have been done behind the scenes and when the moment comes, you will know about it," he said as quoted by ET.
Unfortunately, DC is still reluctant to continue the adventures of this female superhero. The first Wonder Woman film earned up to UDS 800 million or IDR 12.4 trillion in 2017.
But in the second film, quite a few people felt disappointed. The overall appearance of the film is considered less exciting.
Director Petty Jenkins, in an interview on the Talking Pictures podcast, said that current DCU bosses, James Gunn and Peter Safran, were not yet interested in making a third Wonder Woman.
"I can only follow this big task and they have to use their intuition and what makes them interested in the plan," he explained.

At the end of 2022, Gal Gadot posted on her social media about a throwback, where she first played Diana Prince or Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016). He kind of gave a sneak peek about the newest project for his role.
"A few years ago it was announced that I would play Wonder Woman. I am very grateful for the opportunity to play this iconic and amazing character, even more so I thank you, the fans. Can't wait to share the next chapter with you," she wrote.
Meanwhile, Patty Jenkins is said to be upset after her idea for Wonder Woman 3 was flatly rejected by Gunn and Safran.
Jenkins initially defended himself, especially as he felt he had succeeded in bringing Wonder Woman to the big screen. He said the story idea he brought was solid, but unfortunately the decision was final and made him choose to withdraw from the project.
James Gunn is also rumored to have new plans with Themyscira, the birthplace of Wonder Woman. It is said that he will change the origin of Wonder Woman. In fact, the actress Elizabeth Debicki was chosen for the project. But so far Gunn has never talked about the rumors.
