As a long-time gamer and comic book enthusiast who’s spent countless hours debating superhero lineups with friends, I must say that Melissa Barrera as Wonder Woman is a casting choice that has my full support. I’ve followed her career since the first “Scream” reboot, and I can’t help but feel that she’d bring an energy to Diana Prince that’s been missing for quite some time.
The dominance of the superhero genre within the entertainment sector remains strong, yet the DC Universe is undergoing shifts at present. The DCEU (now available via Max subscription) concluded with “Aquaman 2”, and co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran are shaping a fresh universe. A great deal of speculation surrounds the initial lineup of Gods and Monsters projects, particularly regarding which actors will embody superheroes in upcoming DC films. In some fan art, “Scream” actress Melissa Barrera portrays Wonder Woman, and I fervently hope Gunn is considering this choice.
It appears that Gal Gadot’s time as Wonder Woman may be coming to an end, which could mean that James Gunn will soon choose another actress to play the role. With Melissa Barrera having been let go from Scream 7, her calendar might now be open, and some creative fan art on Twitter showcases what a fantastic fit she’d make as Diana Prince. Take a peek at it yourself below:
It’s quite fascinating, isn’t it? Imagine the Scream VI actor adorning the regal attire of Wonder Woman. However, since the future of the character in the DC Universe remains shrouded in secrecy, it might be wiser not to get too excited. Nevertheless, such fan-made visualizations like this one certainly add a dash of excitement to our speculations.
In December 2022, it was announced that the production of “Wonder Woman 3” had been canceled following James Gunn and Peter Safran’s appointment as co-CEOs of DC Studios. Since the character wasn’t appearing in the initial lineup of projects, it appeared Gal Gadot’s time as Diana Prince might be coming to an end. As a result, fans have proposed several candidates for the role, with Barrera being one of them.
In a hypothetical scenario, it would certainly attract attention if Melissa Barrera and James Gunn were to work together someday. James Gunn was initially let go by Marvel prior to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but received support from the cast in the form of letters urging his reinstatement. Although he was rehired, it’s unlikely that Melissa Barrera’s character, Sam Carpenter, will return for Scream 7.
Considering her roles as the final girl in two movies, along with her impressive performance in “Abigail,” Barrera seems well-equipped to assume the role of Wonder Woman in the upcoming DCU, starting with James Gunn’s “Superman.” However, at this point, it remains unknown what specific qualities Gunn and Safran are seeking for the character.
It’s clear that the fan casting for the enigmatic DC Universe isn’t limited to just Superman. The list of actors for Superman includes several heroes, but what people are truly curious about is who will take on roles like Batman, Robin, and others. Since Wonder Woman is such a beloved character, everyone will definitely be watching closely to see who gets cast in that role.
Superman will hit theaters June 21st. For now, check the 2025 movie release dates.
