Is Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman in Shazam! Fury Of The Gods? HITC investigates as audiences look forward to DC’s newest release.
Few people would argue that superhero movies feel like a rarity. Although they once did, the genre is perhaps now the biggest in blockbuster cinema, and audiences regularly get to see a wide range of caped crusaders on the big screen. However, some efforts are undeniably refreshing, and Shazam! Fury Of The Gods is destined to be one of them.
The titular character (played by Zachary Levi) was showcased in Shazam! in 2019 and fans quickly cherished the lighthearted tone and more playful approach to superhero storytelling than was exhibited in other DC Comics adaptations, with efforts like Man Of Steel and Wonder Woman (starring Gal Gadot) adopting a more serious tone.
Directed by David F. Sandberg, this sequel comes out in theaters on Friday, March 17th 2023, and will feature a star-studded cast that includes Lucy Liu, Helen Mirren, and more.
As has become the case for the majority of films in the genre, fans have turned their hopes toward cameos but Is Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman in Shazam! Fury Of The Gods?
Is Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman in Shazam! Fury Of The Gods?
Casting hasn’t been officially announced but Wonder Woman can actually be spotted in a recent Shazam! Fury Of The Gods trailer that was released for Japanese audiences.
Although the frame doesn’t show her face, audiences are by now so familiar with the character that they recognized the costume straight away.
In the shot, she appears to be deflecting a blast of fiery dragon’s breath using her magical bracelets. It’s unmistakably Wonder Woman but it’s such a brief moment that it arguably doesn’t spoil the nature of the reveal – if it turns out to be Gal Gadot, that is.
James Gunn has been made the new co-CEO of DC Studios and fans recently spotted comments on one of his Instagram posts hinting that DC had given Gal the “boot” from the franchise.
“I’m not sure where you’re getting that we ‘booted’ Gal,” James replied.
