The golden lasso is being used to drag the high-level executives at DC Studios, and the person pulling the strings is none other than the legend herself: Lynda Carter.
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the comic book world, the -year-old icon is breaking her silence on the total collapse of Wonder Woman . Carter isn’t just disappointed; she’s sounding the alarm on what she calls a massive mistake by the new regime led by James Gunn and Peter Safran.
According to Carter, the script for the third film—penned by director Patty Jenkins—was far from the disaster some industry insiders claimed it was. Speaking to Yahoo Entertainment, Carter described the scrapped vision as “wonderful” and “about something important.”
“I just don’t think they have the mind to do it, unless there’s enough pressure from fans,” Carter stated bluntly. In a town where secrets usually stay buried in a vault, Carter is shouting from the rooftops that the studio is intentionally ignoring a franchise that actually works.
The drama behind the scenes at DC has been a whirlwind since the studio overhaul began. While James Gunn is busy prepping his new Superman flick for , the fate of Gal Gadot’s Diana Prince has been hanging by a thread.
Carter is now confirming the worst fears of the fandom: the project was “tabled” despite having a story that was ready to go. “I don’t know why they tabled it,” Carter said, hinting that the move felt like a power play. “They don’t want anyone else to make it besides their chosen circle.”
The tension is palpable, especially for fans who remember the massive tease at the end of Wonder Woman . Carter appeared in a mid-credits scene as the legendary warrior Asteria, setting up a team-up with Gadot that now seems destined to stay in cinematic limbo.
On X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, the fan base is in a total meltdown. “Lynda Carter just confirmed what we all knew! James Gunn is trying to erase the best part of the old DC,” one viral post read. Others are rallying behind the “Queen,” noting that you don’t mess with a legacy as deep as hers.
Carter insists that Wonder Woman is different from the rest of the caped crowd, focusing on “peaceful solutions” rather than just mindless punching—a nuance she fears the new leadership is missing.
By acting as a vocal mouthpiece for the project, Carter is effectively exposing the behind-the-scenes friction without getting Gadot into hot water with the studio brass. It’s a strategic strike against the corporate suits, proving that even at , the original hero still has a very loud voice.
Will the pressure from fans actually work? DC has folded under social media heat before, but for now, it looks like a long war for the soul of the Amazonian princess is just beginning.
Would you like me to look into the specific plot points of the “lost” Patty Jenkins script that Lynda Carter is praising?
