The Amazon warrior is returning to the big screen. James Gunn, co-head of DC Studios, has officially confirmed that a new Wonder Woman movie is in development, with a script currently in progress.
However, one major question looms: Who will wield the Lasso of Truth?
With Gal Gadot‘s future in the role uncertain—partly due to ongoing off-screen political controversies—fans and critics alike are speculating about who might take over as Diana Prince in this next chapter of the DC Universe.
We’ve rounded up seven actresses who could be worthy successors, each bringing something unique to the iconic role.
Eiza González
A rising action star with credits in Baby Driver and Godzilla vs. Kong, Eiza González brings a fierce, regal energy to her performances. Her physicality and poise would make her a compelling Diana—especially if DC aims for a younger, modern reboot with international appeal.
Ana de Armas
Fresh off high-profile roles in No Time to Die, Blonde, and The Gray Man, Ana de Armas has the dramatic depth and commanding screen presence needed for Wonder Woman. Her performances balance vulnerability with strength—an ideal combination for portraying the warrior princess’s complexity.
Jaimie Alexander
Best known as Lady Sif in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jaimie Alexander already carries the warrior spirit. With action experience, physical agility, and a fan base of her own, she’s a logical—and popular—contender to cross over into DC territory.
Naomi Scott
Having played Princess Jasmine (Aladdin) and the Pink Ranger (Power Rangers), Naomi Scott brings the charisma and toughness required for Diana Prince. Her ability to embody elegance and determination simultaneously makes her an intriguing pick for a reinvention of the character.
Elizabeth Debicki
Statuesque and striking, Elizabeth Debicki (Tenet, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) commands attention in every frame. At 6’3”, she has the presence of a demigoddess—and her refined, intelligent portrayals make her a top-tier choice for a more mythic, otherworldly take on Wonder Woman.
Jodie Comer
With an Emmy-winning turn in Killing Eve and acclaimed performances in The Last Duel and Free Guy, Jodie Comer has proven range. She could bring both lethal skill and emotional nuance to Diana Prince, especially in a darker, more grounded story arc.
Alexandra Daddario
Known for The White Lotus and San Andreas, Alexandra Daddario has long been fan-cast as a superhero. With piercing intensity and natural charisma, she could give Wonder Woman a blend of warmth and intimidation—a perfect balance for a protector of humankind.
What’s Next for Wonder Woman?
James Gunn has not confirmed whether the upcoming film is a soft reboot, an origin story, or a continuation of Wonder Woman 1984. With the script underway and no casting decisions announced, the role is still wide open.
As the DC Universe rebuilds under new leadership, one thing is certain: Wonder Woman remains a vital pillar of the franchise—and casting her right is more important than ever.
Here at Comic Movie DB the team are leaning towards Jodie Comer out of the list of potential candidates to take the Wonder Woman role, talent aside, Jodie’s age means she can carry the role on for another 10 years. We think out of the AI renders by Stepholt that Jaimie Alexander looks soooooo good. Only time will tell…
