James Gunn shuts down explosive 'Wonder Woman' casting buzz

James Gunn is clearing the air regarding Wonder Woman casting speculations, redirecting them to the big film he is under consideration for.

The 59-year-old was asked on Threads if the role, last played by Gal Gadot, is currently being cast.

"Hi James, Is it true that actors auditioned for the role of Batman at the end of 2025? I saw this rumour in my feed," asked one Threads user.

To which the DC helmer instantly clarified, "No. All these rumours of Batman and Wonder Woman auditions are false."

Meanwhile, another user asked, "Are the Wonder Woman MoT leaks real? I try to avoid leaks unless they come from your mouth but the rumors are getting so loud that it’s becoming hard to ignore for many of us."

In response, the director of Guardians of the Galaxy shared the reason why fans have purported, stating that DC is casting a woman to play a role in Man of Tomorrow (2027).

"No. We are currently casting a female character in MoT. My only guess is scoopers are taking a stab at guessing that's WW."

Notably, Gunn didn’t disclose which character he is talking about that is being cast in the upcoming Superman sequel.

Earlier, he had pointed out that Wonder Woman would not be cast until a script was available to work on the film.
