The exclusion of Wonder Woman in the new DCU does not make sense according to one of Gal Gadot’s co stars.
Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman made her debut in the DCU in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and made a great impression on audiences. They loved Gadot’s charm and ease with which she portrayed the character. Her solo film in 2017 further proved that she was not a fluke and was born to play the character.

However, audiences did not enjoy 2020’s Wonder Woman 1984, and it seriously affected the reputation of the character. With James Gunn taking over the brand, the character was excluded from his plans for his new DCU. Gadot’s co-star from Wonder Woman 1984 is lamenting the decision and questions the new DCU for not recognizing Wonder Woman’s immense potential.
Lynda Carter Does Not Understand Why The DCU Pulled the Plug on Wonder Woman

Lynda Carter made a cameo appearance as Asteria in Wonder Woman 1984
The DCU’s Wonder Woman had a topsy-turvy journey in the DCU. Her presentation and narrative arc in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Wonder Woman were received very well by fans. However, Wonder Woman 1984 was a colossal failure, even though fans loved Gadot’s portrayal of the character.
The character continued to make cameo appearances in The Flash and Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Unfortunately, Gadot’s tenure as the character came to an end when James Gunn took over. This exclusion caused a lot of debate among fans, and now former Wonder Woman actress Lynda Carter is confused as to why the DCU would leave out such a pivotal character in their new universe.
Carter, who starred in the popular 70s Wonder Woman TV show and played Asteria in Wonder Woman 1984, told Yahoo Entertainment that the current DCU is not interested in doing Wonder Woman unless there is pressure from fans. This is confusing to her as the character has so many layers to her that are worth exploring. She called Wonder Woman a great franchise and felt it a waste that they were not utilizing her.
Wonder Woman was among the big three of Zack Snyder’s DCEU films. Gunn does not seem to be interested in the character (for now) and is instead focusing on the larger Amazonians as a whole with the upcoming Paradise Lost project. It remains to be seen whether Gunn incorporates the character in the future.
