James Gunn SHUTS DOWN fan claiming 'GOTG' director 'booted' Gal Gadot from 'Wonder Woman'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: DC Studios has gone through major changes recently after James Gunn who is the co-head of the DC Studios announced 'Wonder Woman 3' which starred Gal Gadot was shelved and Henry Cavill who was supposed to wear his red cape again for 'Man of Steel 2' has been replaced. Cavill reprised his role as the Kryptonian hero after years in 'Black Adam'. Gunn further went through backlash from the fans when 'Wonder Woman' director, Patty Jenkins released an official statement that said, "she never walked away" but accepted the decision as she understands that the studio is "buried" in changes.
However, Gunn who is proactive on social media recently clapped back at a fan who commented they are "unsure of what are the future DC plans" after the highly anticipated movies have been either "canceled" or the actor has been "replaced." However, these changes were been followed by rumors that Gadot and Cavill were both simultaneously fired from playing these roles with Gunn and Safran envisioning an all-new 'Justice League.'

Since Gunn’s appointment as co-CEO of DC Studios, there has been a sizable number of changes at the company. As per Comicbook.com, Gunn was recently addressed by a fan on Instagram who claimed to be looking forward to what the DCU will bring, but at the same time, he feels disappointed over Cavill and Gadot getting the "boot." Gunn directly responded to the comment by denying the notion that Gadot was "booted" from playing 'Wonder Woman.'
"Cannot wait to see what you're cooking up," the fan wrote. "That being said the move to boot Cavill and Gadot (especially after they'd announced their return) doesn't inspire confidence."
"I'm not sure where you're getting that we 'booted' Gal," Gunn shot back.
In case you are wondering if you will ever see Gadot as the Amazonian warrior, Gadot's social media posts definitely haven't helped this ambiguity, with her writing on Instagram just days before Jenkins' 'Wonder Woman 3' exit that she's excited about the character's "next chapter."
"On this day, a few years ago, was the first announcement that I was going to play Wonder Woman," Gadot wrote. "I've been so grateful for the opportunity to play such an incredible, iconic character, and more than anything I'm grateful for YOU. The fans. The most amazing, warm, loving fans in the world. I'm still pinching myself to see if I will wake up. Can't wait to share her next chapter with you."
Regardless, the next film by James Gunn will not be of DC but of Marvel. 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3' is scheduled to be released in US on May 5, 2023, as part of Phase 5 of the MCU.
