Alexandra Daddario Opens Up About Playing Wonder Woman in James Gunn’s DCU

Alexandra Daddario just got pulled into the never-ending game of Who Should Play Who in James Gunn's DCU, and her reaction is very on-brand: polite, surprised, and not exactly plugged into the fan art machine.

So, what did she actually say?

While promoting her new movie 'I Wish You All The Best,' Daddario was asked about the online push to see her as either Wonder Woman or Catwoman in Gunn's 'Gods and Monsters' chapter. She said she hasn't seen any of the edits or mockups fans have been passing around and didn't realize she was being fan-cast for those roles. When the question turned to whether she'd join Gunn's DC Universe at all, she kept it simple.

'I have to be honest, I haven't seen any of that [fan art]. I'm flattered to hear that it's happening.'

'Of course, working with James Gunn would be amazing in any capacity, but I wasn't aware that that was going on.'

Where Wonder Woman and Catwoman actually stand in the DCU

Fan-casting aside, both characters are in the pipeline. Gunn said on Threads on September 29, 2025, that Catwoman will appear somewhere in the DCU, though he didn't say where or when. On the Wonder Woman side, a new feature film quietly entered early development in June 2025, with 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' writer Ana Nogueira on script duty. There's also that Themyscira-set prequel series, 'Paradise Lost,' which Gunn told Entertainment Weekly is 'moving' but still doesn't have a locked creative team. Translation: it's alive, but not sprinting.

The current snapshot, in one place

• Alexandra Daddario says she hasn't seen the fan art casting her as Wonder Woman or Catwoman and wasn't aware of the online push.
• She'd be up for working with James Gunn, but there's no indication she has been approached for anything.
• Catwoman: confirmed to appear in the DCU, per Gunn on Threads (Sept 29, 2025), specific project still unannounced.
• Wonder Woman: new feature entered early development in June 2025; Ana Nogueira is writing.
• 'Paradise Lost': the Themyscira prequel series is inching forward; no finalized creative team yet.
• Casting: DC Studios has not announced any actors for the Wonder Woman reboot.
• Timing: if development holds, industry chatter pegs the new Wonder Woman movie as more of a 2028-ish play, not tomorrow.

So yes, Daddario's name is in the mix online because the internet loves a good fancast, and yes, both Wonder Woman and Catwoman are in the cards for the DCU. But until DC actually starts announcing actors, this is all vibes and mood boards. The 'Gods and Monsters' rollout is still taking shape, and for now, Daddario is just flattered from a distance.
