Earlier this month, reports surfaced that Warner Bros. has already started to screenBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceto a select number of people, and the reactions from those screenings reportedly made the studio very “nervous” about the massive DC Universe the movie sets up. There was speculation that the studio may delayJustice League Part 1, in favor of aBatman RebootthatBen Affleckwould reportedly star in and direct, since the studio was quite pleased with his work in the movie. However, that isn’t happening since it was recently confirmed thatJustice League Part 1will start shooting in April. On an episode of theCollider Heroespodcast, Chris Gore revealed that he also knows someone who has seen the movie, revealing that the “stand-out” star isGal Gadot’sWonder Woman.
“I know someone who has seenBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the stand-out of the movie is Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman kills it, and they don’t show you anything in the trailer.”
Another member of theCollider Heroesteam,Jon Schnepp, revealed he also heard from someone who has seen the movie, who claims thatWonder Woman"steals the movie." We haven’t seen much ofWonder Womanin the footage released fromBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicethus far, but it certainly seems that she has a much bigger role in the movie than we’re being lead to believe by the trailers. It isn’t known if the studio plans on releasing another trailer between now and the March 25 release date, but hopefully we’ll get to see more ofWonder Womanin new clips over the next few weeks.
Gal Gadotis currently shooting her stand aloneWonder Womanmovie, which is set for release on August 25, 2025. We got our firstsneak peekat this stand alone adventure last month, during The CW’s half-hour special on this massive superhero universe. Last year a rumor surfaced thatWonder Womanwill be set in three different time periods and settings. One of these settings is Diana’s homeland of Themyscira, and it is rumored that the Italy portion of the shoot will be used for the Themyscira scenes. It was also recently confirmed that another setting isWorld War I, with the last setting being present day, which will connect the movie to her appearance in the upcomingJustice League Part 1.
