Wonder Woman Casting Rumors
Sydney Sweeney Fuels Wonder Woman Casting Rumors With New Themed Social Media Photos
Key Points
In DC Studios’ DC Universe, the live-action Wonder Woman project was announced in June 2025 with Ana Nogueira hired to write the screenplay; there is no director or release date yet, and Gal Gadot will not reprise the role in the DCU.
Sweeney’s camp '26 Wonder Woman look features a plunging red corset, blue latex underwear with white stars, a gold belt/rope, a gold tiara with a red star, and gold gauntlets, with Scooter Braun photographed in a Superman costume alongside her.
Fans are increasingly open to a blonde Diana Prince on screen, with discussion anchored in comic precedents (e.g., an alternate-Earth blonde Diana in Infinite Crisis #6) and prior blonde portrayals like Cathy Lee Crosby.
Braun’s presence as Superman in the surrounding photos underscores a playful superhero cosplay dynamic between Sweeney and her partner during the camp outing.
The Idaho lake house trip—nicknamed 'Camp Runamuck'—included group activities like karaoke and jet-skiing; reporting also notes the couple’s charitable volunteering in Spokane, assisting firefighters and food banks.
Sydney Sweeney has ignited Wonder Woman casting speculation by posting Instagram photos of herself in two distinct Diana Prince costumes. The Page Six images show Sweeney in a plunging red corset with blue latex underwear and gold accessories, posed alongside her boyfriend Scooter Braun dressed as Superman during a 'Camp '26' getaway. Meanwhile, US Headtopics reports that Sweeney has also shared Linda Carter-style Wonder Woman photos, fueling fan discussion about her potential role in DC Studios' upcoming live-action Wonder Woman film.
DC's Wonder Woman Film Moves Forward Without Gal Gadot
The DC Universe is developing a new Wonder Woman movie for James Gunn's superhero franchise. Screen Rant reports that Ana Nogueira was hired to write the screenplay in June 2025. There is currently no director attached and no release date announced. Gal Gadot, who played Diana Prince in the previous DC films, will not reprise the role in this new version.
The casting search remains open, making room for speculation about who will fill the iconic role. Sweeney's social media posts have intensified fan conversations about her suitability for the part.
Two Different Wonder Woman Looks Show Range
Sweeney's costume posts feature contrasting interpretations of the character. One features a Linda Carter-inspired 1970s-style outfit, honoring the beloved television version. Page Six describes the camp photos as showing Sweeney in a provocative latex ensemble: a plunging red corset, blue underwear with white stars, gold belt and tiara with a red star, and gold gauntlets.
The variety suggests Sweeney is comfortable exploring different versions of Diana Prince. US Magazine notes that Sweeney, 28, shared these images while enjoying time at Camp '26 with Braun, whom she met in June 2025 at Jeff Bezos' star-studded wedding in Italy.
Fans Open to Blonde Diana Prince on Screen
Internet discussions have centered on whether a blonde Diana Prince could work on film. Comic book history supports the idea: an alternate-Earth blonde Diana appeared in 'Infinite Crisis' #6. Actor Cathy Lee Crosby also portrayed a blonde Wonder Woman in a 1974 television movie. These precedents make fans more open to different interpretations of the character.
Sweeney's fair hair contrasts with Gal Gadot's darker appearance. However, costume design and character interpretation matter more to many fans than exact hair color. The broader question remains: does Sweeney fit what DC Studios envisions for Diana Prince?
Superman Costume Signals Playful Couple Dynamic
Braun's presence in Superman gear during the camp photos adds a romantic, lighthearted dimension. AOL reports that the couple used the 'camp '26' outing to enjoy summer activities together in superhero style. The matching costumes suggest they are having fun with their relationship in public.
The camp weekend included more than just cosplay. The Idaho lake house trip, nicknamed 'Camp Runamuck,' featured group activities like karaoke and jet-skiing. Reporting also notes the couple's charitable work in Spokane, where they volunteered with firefighters and food banks.
