Maybe one of us via Twitter can convince James Gunn to make a Canterbury Cricket movie.

No, come on guys, don't do this. It's not worth it. You need a completely clean break. Find a new Wonder Woman. Or focus on a different superheroine.

I agree. Reboot it all or nothing. Plus, Gadot is arguably the weakest actor out of the previous DCEU cast and one of the few to actually get two solo movies and several cameos. Keeping her instead of others just doesn't make much sense, IMO. It's not like WW84 was a runaway success either.
When she says they're going to develop it together though, I wonder if that means she'll be a producer instead of an actor.

Might also be a thing where she’s contractually obligated to be involved in a third movie until they decide not to have one and go “Oh well, we tried. Bye!”

I personally would rather they just not do a Wonder Woman movie again anytime soon. Even if it doesn't star Gadot it's still gonna invite unnecessary comparisons to her movies. There are other DC heroines they can use. I know Dinah was in the Harley Quinn/Birds of Prey movie but that was so under the radar that I imagine they could make a Black Canary solo film and nobody would even remember Jurnee Smollett's version. I, personally, would love a Cass and Steph Batgirls movie. Or, if they are feeling really brave, how about a Power Girl movie?

Apparently this interview was done before The Flash was released so who knows, plans have probably already changed 15 times since then.

For the most part, I have been taking a "let's just see how this goes" approach to James Gunn's hard reboot except when it's not, but this would be where I draw the line. Peacemaker and Waller I was willing to let slide because the whole Suicide Squad/Peacemaker thing is sort of in it's own corner of the DCEU/DCU, and I was even willing to do the same for Harley and her tenuous ties to the old universe, but Gal's Wonder Woman was literally in the Snyder Cut of Justice League. At some point, Gunn is going to have to decide if this is a hard reboot or a soft relaunch.

I get the logic of keeping Gal as Wonder Woman because of how known she is for role in ways that Cavill and Affleck never reached with general audiences. Also doesn't necessarily have to be the same Diana Prince from the old DCEU; just the same actor. So there's wiggle room there.
And Gal's time as WW hasn't nearly had nearly the same stink on it that the other DCEU movies have had. Or problems like Ezra Miller's. Like yeah, WW84 wasn't great, but the original is still one of the best regarded superhero movies of the 2010's.

When she says they're going to develop it together though, I wonder if that means she'll be a producer instead of an actor. Gadot was a producer on WW84 so it's probably safe to assume she'd be a producer on any further films. Keeping her around will sink Gunn's DC though. In case the near billion dollars in losses accrued since 2017 hasn't driven the point home hard enough, general audiences are absolutely done with the universe built on the foundations laid by Zack Snyder, and the only successes they've had in that time has been the two movies that screamed from the rooftops that they're not in any way connected to it. General audiences, the difference-makers between healthy profit and disastrous loss, aren't reading comic book movie Twitter feeds. General audiences watch trailers on social media, they see posters at the multiplex. If Gunn's new DC ends up being many of the same old faces, general audiences aren't going to show up.

Yeah, there should absolutely be a hard break, this is stupid. And it's not like any time she's played the character outside of the first Wonder Woman movie has been remotely worth a shit anyway.

Funny enough, not committing to a full reboot is what helped doom the comics with the Nu52. It was such a mess of “We’re starting over except maybe not really” that even the writers couldn’t keep track of what was still canon and what wasn’t.

Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are the foundations of DC. You change one, you change them all, IMO.

Granted the New 52 also heavily suffered for the fact they kept changing shit for the sake of changing shit like making Lobo and Solomon Grundy SRS, turning Beast Boy and Nightwing red, and completely gutting the entire point of Mr. Freeze.

I honestly don’t see the issue with Gadot sticking around because I’m going to assume with Joker and the Batman movies with Pattinson being Elseworlds stories that there’s no harm in considering anything left over from the previous regime being Elseworlds as well. Just throw all the remnants in there and have Diana lead the Justice Society and you can basically keep Shazam/Suicide Squad and Peacemaker all active in that Elseworlds bubble while they do their new thing. Just have to make sure it’s pushed as such.

The bigger sin is that Gadot is essentially getting a free pass for WW84.
That shit was a crime.

I think as long as Wonder Woman doesn't take a dump in anyone's bed, they should be alright.
