If the rumours are to be believed, the new management of DC Studios which is headed by James Gunn and Peter Safran is planning to reboot the entire DC slate. The replacement of Henry Cavill, who famously played the much-loved character Superman has fueled rumors regarding Gal Gadot's future collaboration with the studios. However, DC has not announced a Wonder Woman recast, as they did for the new Superman film. 

For the unversed, DC Studios was originally planning to produce a third installment in the Wonder Woman franchise. But the project, which was supposed to mark Gal Gadot's comeback to the much-loved role, got axed after director Patty Jenkins walked out of the project citing creative differences. Later, it was rumoured that the actress is parting ways with studios due to creative differences, James Gunn took to his official social media handles and rubbished the reports.
