The new Wonder Woman 3 was canceled after the second movie in the franchise bombed.

The role will now be recast for the DCU movies, with Gadot leaving Wonder Woman behind, just like how the DCU let Henry Cavill go and hired David Corenswet to play its younger version of Superman. Wonder Woman and the Man of Steel have always been connected in the comics, and the DCU has already shown through a shared element of the new versions of the characters that the franchise is hoping to do something different with the heroes in comparison to the DCEU.

Wonder Woman & Superman Share An Exciting Costume Detail In The DCU

The New DC Universe Makes Changes To The Heroes

Besides the fact that Wonder Woman and Superman have made their DCU debuts together, they also share a key connection through their costumes. Both Wonder Woman and Corenswet's Superman wear their classic DC Comics costumes in the new DCU. The Man of Steel has his iconic red trunks, different from Henry Cavill's Superman, while the DCU's Wonder Woman wears her classic swimsuit, while Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman had an armored skirt as part of her look. This is an easy way to make the DCU and the DCEU visually and tonally distinct from the get-go through Wonder Woman and Superman.
