The chances of the timeline having more than one version of Wonder Woman have skyrocketed thanks to one of James Gunn's latest updates. The DCU's Chapter 1: "Gods and Monsters" has multiple movies and TV shows in development, and Wonder Woman is one of the many heroes who are being reimagined for Gunn's franchise.
As of June 2025, a new Wonder Woman movie is being written at DC Studios, which will bring the Themyscira heroine back to the big screen. However, while Diana Prince is set to be a crucial DCU player, she may not be the only iteration of Wonder Woman in the franchise.
In a new interview with Pay Or Wait, Gunn was directly asked if Nubia - a character who has also held the Wonder Woman title in her history - could be making her arrival in the DCU. Without getting too specific, Gunn gave a very exciting answer about Nubia's potential in the DCU, sharing the following.
I am very aware of Nubia. And yes we are very much talking about that and I want to have all sorts of people represented in the DCU and, yeah, you might be very happy in the not too distant future.
While time will tell who will be cast as Wonder Woman in the DCU, the fact that Gunn is more or less teasing that Nubia will be part of the Wonder Woman plans at DC Studios is a massive deal. Not only is it high time for Nubia to get her live-action debut, .
Even though a Wonder Woman solo film is in the early stages, it wouldn't be shocking if Nubia were to be a crucial player in the Paradise Lost TV show. As Nubia has been reimagined in the DC lore numerous times, .
For the time being, Paradise Lost hasn't been picked up to series yet, as it is still being written at DC Studios. However, assuming Paradise Lost goes forward, .
Whether or not it is Paradise Lost or a different DCU project, . As Nubia has never had her proper time to shine in either live-action or animation, the DCU could finally be the perfect time to let her be explored in these ways.
The idea of potentially seeing Diana and Nubia at the same time is also a solid way to allow the Wonder Woman canon to get a bigger spotlight, and expand out in some interesting ways. Hopefully, more DC Universe news will arrive sooner rather than later about all the Wonder Woman projects from DC Studios.
