According to recent reports, James Gunn and DC Studios made a major Wonder Woman casting decision for Gunn’s version of the DC Universe.

DC Comics is filled with some of the most iconic superheroes of all time. They have become some of the most recognized characters in pop culture due to their representation in comic books, cartoons, video games, television series, and, of course, cinema.

Most recently, we have seen these heroes come to life on the big screen with Zack Snyder’s interpretation of the DC Extended Universe, more colloquially known as the “Snyderverse.” This included Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg.

One of the most beloved portrayals in the DCEU has been by Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, who has arguably become the most iconic actor to portray the Amazonian princess of all time with her portrayals in Wonder Woman (2017), Wonder Woman 1984 (2020), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), and Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021). Sorry, Lynda Carter, you’re still awesome.

However, things have massively changed ever since James Gunn took control of the DC Universe. Now, almost every character from the Snyderverse has been wholly scrapped, including Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman. While nothing is set in stone, there have been reports of a significant new casting

DC Studios Reportedly Casts Iconic Wonder Woman Villain

The two Wonder Woman films have already introduced audiences to two of her most memorable adversaries: Ares (David Thewlis) and Cheetah (Kristen Wiig). However, the Amazonian still has a long list of villains that have yet to make a motion picture appearance. One of those is the evil sorceress Circe.

While she is a character in DC Comics, Circe is most recognized for her appearance in The Odyssey by Homer, where she turns his whole battalion into various animals, including pigs. She repeated this effect again in the Justice League Unlimited (2004-2006) episode “This Little Piggy,” where she turns Wonder Woman into a pig.

This episode is particularly memorable because it gets Batman, voiced by the late Kevin Conroy, to sing the jazz standard “Am I Blue?” Check it out; it’s breathtaking.

According to a report from Bestofanyac on X (formerly Twitter), British actress Anya Chalotra has been cast as Circe in Creature Commandos (2024), the first show in James Gunn’s version of the DC Universe. This has been corroborated by
