Wonder Woman Reboot Taps Supergirl Writer Ana Nogueira for DC Reboot
DC Studios is set to reboot its Wonder Woman franchise, with Supergirl writer Ana Nogueira at the helm. Nogueira is known for her work on the upcoming film Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and this marks a significant move in the reshaping of the DC Universe under James Gunn and Peter Safran.
The new film will reintroduce the iconic Amazon warrior for the rebooted DC Universe, but details on casting and direction remain under wraps. Meanwhile, HBO is still developing Paradise Island, a series set on Themyscira, though Gunn admitted progress on that show is “slow moving.”
Nogueira’s Skyrocketing Career
For Nogueira, this is another major step in her growing screenwriting career. She first made her mark as an actor with roles in The Michael J. Fox Show, The Vampire Diaries, and most recently the crime drama Hightown.
Her script for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be the first to hit theaters, directed by Craig Gillespie (Cruella) and starring Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon). Based on Tom King’s acclaimed graphic novel, Supergirl is slated for release on June 26, 2026.
Of course, Wonder Woman is no stranger to cinematic glory. Gal Gadot first brought the character to life in 2017’s Wonder Woman, directed by Patty Jenkins. That film smashed expectations with an $822 million global haul and proved that female-led superhero movies could dominate the box office. Gadot reprised the role in Wonder Woman 1984 during the pandemic, as well as appearances in Justice League, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and The Flash.
But with Gunn and Safran resetting the DC Universe, Gadot’s era appears to have come to an end. The new timeline kicked off with Gunn’s Superman, and has already grossed $406.8 million worldwide. That film even included a quick tease for what’s coming next, with Alcock’s Supergirl popping up in a cameo to retrieve her dog, Krypto.
With Nogueira now crafting Wonder Woman, DC fans can expect the Princess of Themyscira to play a key role in this bold new vision for the DCU. No release date has been announced yet, but this move signals the Amazon warrior is officially back in the fight.
