Gal Gadot has spoken out about the cancellation of Wonder Woman 3, saying DC Studios sold her the character's motorcycle before scrapping the project, according to espinof.com. The actress described the handling of her exit as lacking elegance, drawing a parallel to how the studio managed Henry Cavill's departure.
In comments reported by multiple outlets including Yahoo en Español and Récord, Gadot confirmed she will not return as Wonder Woman. She suggested the decision was communicated poorly, with the motorcycle sale serving as an example of the disjointed process she experienced.
Espinof.com reports that Gadot specifically compared her situation to that of Cavill, who was dropped from his role as Superman shortly after announcing his return. The actress indicated that both cases were mishandled by DC Studios leadership, which took over the franchise with new creative direction in 2023.
The cancellation of Wonder Woman 3 came as part of a broader reboot of the DC film universe under new co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran. Gadot had starred as the character in three films, including two solo outings directed by Patty Jenkins, who also exited the project amid the turmoil.
Excélsior notes that Gadot's criticism extends to how Jenkins was treated, framing the entire episode as a failure in communication. The actress stopped short of naming executives directly but made clear her frustration with the lack of transparency.
Gadot's remarks add to a growing pattern of public discontent from former DC actors about the transition period. As the studio moves forward with its new slate, her comments raise questions about how legacy talent will be handled in future reboots.
Watch for whether DC Studios responds publicly to Gadot's claims or if other former cast members follow with similar statements.
