The search for the next Diana Prince might have just found its frontrunner—at least if social media has anything to say about it!
As DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran continue to build their brand-new DC Universe, fans are eagerly waiting to see who will step into the iconic boots of Wonder Woman. Now, Vikings: Valhalla star Frida Gustavsson is throwing her tiara into the ring in a way that has the internet talking.
The viral moment started when a dedicated fan account, @Diana_Prince, posted a cheeky challenge for the Swedish actress: “Like this comment if you’re interested in playing Wonder Woman.”
Gustavsson didn’t hesitate. The -year-old actress, known for her fierce portrayal of Freydís Eiríksdóttir on the hit Netflix series, officially “liked” the comment, sending a clear signal to the DC brass and her million-plus followers that she is more than ready for the role.
The interaction quickly migrated across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, where fans began side-by-side comparisons of the actress and the Amazonian warrior. “She has the height, the look, and we already know she can handle a sword,” one fan raved.
This buzz comes at a pivotal time for the franchise. Gal Gadot first brought the character to life in ‘s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and led two solo films, but her era as the superhero officially concluded with the end of the previous DCEU timeline in .
Now, under the “Chapter : Gods and Monsters” banner, a fresh start is on the horizon. While DC Studios hasn’t officially commented on casting, the wheels are definitely turning behind the scenes.
Writer Ana Nogueira, who is also penning the Supergirl movie, has been tapped to write the screenplay for the new Wonder Woman reboot. Following the massive success of the Superman film, sources say bringing Diana Prince back to the big screen is a “big priority” for the studio.
James Gunn has famously stated that DC Studios won’t greenlight projects or hire directors until a script is finalized and the creative vision is set. However, that hasn’t stopped the “fancasting” fire from spreading.
Gustavsson certainly has the resume for it. Having spent three seasons leading a Viking army, she’s no stranger to the intense physical training and “warrior spirit” required to play an Amazonian queen.
Whether the “like” was a playful nod to fans or a serious audition play remains to be seen, but the message is clear: the hunt for the next Wonder Woman is officially on, and the competition is looking legendary.
Would you like me to track any official casting announcements or look into other actresses being rumored for the role of Wonder Woman?
