That shakeup incorporated some re-casting, including that of Henry Cavil as Superman to David Corenswet as a movie about the younger version of the character is in the works with Superman Legacy.

However, it seems that Gal Gadot, who plays Wonder Woman, may still be part of the DCU.

Gadot first played the role of Wonder Woman back in 2016 with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before starring in two standalone films with Wonder Woman in 2017 and Wonder Woman 1984 in 2020, both directed by Patty Jenkins.

Now it looks like we’ll be getting a ‘Wonder Woman 3’, with Gadot confirming recently to ComicBook.com that she’s been in discussions with Gunn and Safran about developing a third movie.

“I love portraying Wonder Woman,” she said. “It’s so close to and dear to my heart. From what I heard from James [Gunn] and Peter [Safran] is that we’re going to develop a Wonder Woman 3 together.”

Whether that means she’ll actually be starring as Wonder Woman remains to be seen, but she did have some advice for newcomers to the DC Universe.

“It’s such a huge take on and it’s such an exciting beginning to any actor,” she continued. “I wish whoever it’s going to be the best of luck, and enjoy the ride!”

Superman: Legacy will be released 11 July 2025. Keep it with SciFiNow for more news, reviews and interviews.

She loved working on the GOTG Holiday Special

The Guardians of the Galaxy had their very own Holiday Special in 2022, which had our favourite dynamic duo of Drax and Mantis heading to Earth to find a very special Christmas present for Peter (we’re not sure he was expecting that present to be Kevin Bacon). 

“I had so much fun working on the holiday special because I got to be the weirdest I’ve ever been!” Klementieff tells us. “To kidnap Kevin Bacon and to have so much fun with Dave Batista as Drax. It was so goofy, it was crazy.” 

Guardians Vol 2 changed her life

Pom Klementieff first appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 back in 2017. The role changed her life and she tells us she remembers fondly about creating the character of Mantis with Guardians director James Gunn.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 was of course my first experience, my first time working with James,” she remembers. “I have really fond memories of that because it changed my life and it was just the beginning.”

Guardians of the Galaxy is her favourite Marvel movie

Klementieff has been a fan of Guardians of The Galaxy since before she came on board with the movies… “James Gunn’s talent is to be able to have such a perfect balance between emotion and comedy and action,” she says. “And you care about all the characters. I remember when I saw the first movie, I fell in love with it, and it became my favourite superhero movie, my favourite Marvel movie. I just loved all the characters so much.”

She hopes that going into Rocket’s backstory will open audiences’ empathy for animals

“It’s so amazing to get to know more about Rocket’s backstory and his trauma,” says Klementieff.

Yep, we finally discover Rocket’s origins in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, back to when he was experimented on for scientific purposes by The High Evolutionary (played by Chukwudi Iwuji).

Klementieff hopes that audiences “enjoy the movie and it touches their heart and it just opens their vision and their empathy for other people and for animals too”.

It was emotional getting back together with her Guardians family

“It was so emotional to be back together after all the journeys we’ve been through,” Klementieff tells us. “We were supposed to not make the movie at some point and then we got back together and the story was so beautiful.”

Indeed, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 almost didn’t happen after Guardians Vol 1 and 2 dirctor James Gunn was fired from Vol. 3 after a series of controversial Tweets resurfaced. However, after the cast of the movies rallied around him, Gunn was brought back on board and here we are! Well, six years later here we are, though Klementieff explains that that time period has just made the characters closer.

“All the characters have such a deeper bond with each other and the arc of the characters that threads the movies is so beautiful. To be able to really know that more throughout the movies, it makes the third movie so much more powerful and so much more like ‘oh my God, I hope everything is gonna be okay for all of them!’ 

“I can’t wait for the audience to watch it. I saw the movie twice and I loved it so much. I want to watch it a third time. Usually when I’m in a movie I don’t want to watch it several times, but this one is really special.”

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 arrives on 5 May 2023.

One of the many exciting announcements recently made by DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran in their initial ‘Gods And Monsters’ phase was the fact that we’re getting a new Superman movie, Superman: Legacy, and that James Gunn will be writing the script. Now, Gunn has taken to social media to announce that he’ll also be directing.

Gunn has described Superman: Legacy as “the true beginning of the DCU” and will focus on a younger Superman (which is why Henry Cavill couldn’t return to the role), though it won’t go into Supes’ well-known origin story.

Gunn was halfway through writing the script when he announced the movie and it seems something within it has pulled him into wanting to direct the movie too.

“Yes, I’m directing Superman: Legacy to be released on July 11, 2025,” he said on social media. “My brother Matt said, when he saw the release date, he started to cry. I asked him why. He said, “Dude, it’s Dad’s birthday.” I hadn’t realized.

“It has been a long road to this point. I was offered Superman years ago – I initially said no because I didn’t have a way in that felt unique and fun and emotional that gave Superman the dignity he deserved.

“Then a bit less than a year ago I saw a way in, in many ways centering around Superman’s heritage – how both his aristocratic Kryptonian parents and his Kansas farmer parents inform who he is and the choices he makes.

“So I chose to finally take on writing the script. But I was hesitant to direct, despite the constant pestering by Peter Safran and others to commit (sorry, Peter).

“Just because I write something doesn’t mean I feel it in my bones, visually and emotionally, enough to spend over two years directing it, especially not something of this magnitude.

“But, the long and the short of it is, I love this script, and I’m incredibly excited as we begin this journey.”

We have to wait until 2025 for Superman Legacy, but until then we have James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, which is out this May.

Superman: Legacy will be released 11 July 2025
