FULL STORY

James Gunn has confirmed who has been hired to write the Wonder Woman movie that's set in the DC Universe ( DCU ).

Taking to Threads yesterday (July 21), Gunn revealed that reports suggesting Ana Nogueira had been tapped to write the untitled Wonder Woman film were
true. The Wrap was the first to claim Nogueira had boarded the DC Studios
film, with The Hollywood Reporter later indicating its sources had heard the same.

The forthcoming Diana Prince-starring flick, which Gunn first hinted at in mid-May , is the second movie Nogueira will tackle for DC Studios. Her first writing credit came in the form of the script for Supergirl: Woman of
Tomorrow , which has since been renamed Supergirl by Gunn .

Nogueira is also believed to be taking a stab at the screenplay for a live-action Teen Titans Go! adventure on the big screen. The Wrap claims it's still in development, but it's unclear if it'll be set in the DCU.

Nogueira's hiring comes hot on the heels of reports that Gunn and DC Studios co-head Peter Safran are fast-tracking a film starring the iconic metahuman.

Last month, Gunn announced a Wonder Woman movie was being worked on and fans immediately picked out a recent Star Wars actor who'd be perfect to play her.

So, who will play the Amazonian in the DCU? Gunn has declared nobody is currently in the running to portray the eponymous Themysciran, with the
former Marvel filmmaker saying as much on a July 18 edition of the Happy Sad Confused podcast . Gunn and Safran haven't found a director, either, so the pair will need to answer these questions i.e. who'll direct Wonder Woman and who'll star in it soon if they want to stop gossip columns from churning out all kinds of rumors.

In another recent interview, this time with Rolling Stone , Gunn also
clarified that, despite his wish to usher Prince into his cinematic universe, the DCU Chapter One flick wasn't necessarily being prioritized above other projects.

"I dont know what they [industry insiders] mean by fast-tracking," he opined. "Ive always had Wonder Woman as a priority, but we got the first few things started, and theres some other things that are really close to
green-lighting. Like, theres a television show that I hope that were going to be green-lighting in the next few days.

"So, now a little time has passed, and we really need Wonder Woman and we really need Batman , because theyre so important to us. And so, its become a little bit more like going to everybody at DC and being like 'we need to
figure this out'.

"We have good writers on Wonder Woman and we just have to make sure its
working and they have to not be somebody whos going to take two years to
write a script."

Considering Gunn says "writers", Nogueira seems to be co-penning the script with at least one other scribe. For now, Gunn isn't saying who that
individual is, but I'm sure we'll learn more as development continues on this 'Gods and Monsters' production.
