Jason Momoa, Gal Gadot, and the other Snyderverse stars will not be back as their current roles inJames Gunn’s and Peter Safran’s DCU.
According to a new report fromVariety, the actors will no longer be reprising their roles asAquamanandWonder Woman. We already knew theDCU Chapter One: Gods and Monstersslate marked the end of the road for several characters, including Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman, but it was thought both Momoa and Gadot may be back.
Per Variety, the cutting of actors as their characters extends to everyone cast byZack SnyderforBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeandJustice League. This means that Ezra Miller asThe Flashmay also be out of the picture too.
The only characters from earlier DCU projects who seem to be unaffected are those in Peacemaker. This meansViola Davis’ Amanda Waller will be backand even has her own series on the way and then John Cena will return in Peacemaker season 2 as well.
Momoa will be back as Aquaman at least once more in the long-awaited sequel, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which is out on December 20. Meanwhile, this likely marks the end for Wonder Woman 3, whichspelled some confusion earlier this year about whether it was in development or not.
