Gone are those days when Gal Gadot's iconic portrayal of the DC superhero made it impossible to think of someone else to fill the spot. Now, it is nothing more than a relic of the past. The unhappy departure of Henry Cavill and the subsequent shake-up in the DC Universe have paved the way for a bold new era. James Gunn has taken the reins, spearheading a comprehensive reboot. With David Corenswet already cast as Superman, his attention has now turned towards finding his coveted counterpart, Wonder Woman.

In an Instagram thread analysis, James Gunn hinted at how finding an accomplished and talented actress over 6'5 is giving him a tough time. While the height narrowed down the search, fans have taken it upon themselves to suggest their top picks eagerly. Elizabeth Debicki, known for her impressive portrayal of Princess Diana in The Crown, and Frida Gustavsson, are leading the pack due to their towering stature and exceptional acting skills. 

Debicki, standing at 6'2", has already worked with Gunn in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and is a fan favorite. Given her expertise and familiarity with Gunn, it is only natural for her to play the part. Other notable mentions include Joanna Fyllidou for her 6-foot raise and Greek background, Jessica Green, and Eva De Dominici. However, Gunn has yet to confirm any casting decisions for the same along with more characters like Supergirl's role still kept under wraps.

Nonetheless, fans have not stopped trying. With each potential pick, they have reasoned out their choice, making it easier to envision some as DC's new superwoman. 

Gushing on X, fans rallied behind Frida Gustavsson (6'1") and Jessica Green (5'9") following Elizabeth Debicki, as top picks to play Wonder Woman. Gustavsson's towering stature and acting chops and Green's sword-wielding skills and striking blue eyes have served the likes of fans. Notably, Green had expressed interest in the role, thereby fuelling anticipation. Fans praised both actresses' physicality and talent, echoing James Gunn's call for an accomplished and statuesque Wonder Woman to pair with David Corenswet's Superman.

While The Crown actress has been a top pick, a user went on to explain how Elizabeth Debicki’s physic would not do justice to the role. 

As per the latest updates, James Gunn's Superman film has officially wrapped up filming, marking a significant milestone in the project's development. To ensure a visually stunning final product, Gunn will now focus on refining the visual effects and overall aesthetic. Previously known as Superman: Legacy, the film's title was streamlined to simply Superman in February 2024. With a release date set for July 11, 2025, fans can eagerly anticipate the big-screen debut.
