Wonder Womanhas made herDC Universedebut in a new trailer for the franchise’s first project. Gal Gadot played Wonder Woman in two solo films and a few other DCEU movies. WhenWonder Woman 3was canceled, it seemed like her future as the character was sealed, though Gadot later claimed that she would develop the third movie with DC Studios. Reports then revealed that was not true, andWonder Woman’s recastingfor the DCU has become a major topic of conversation. Shockingly, before a movie for Diana Prince has even been announced, Wonder Woman has joined the DCU.
DC (via@jordnjnes/Twitter) has released a new trailer forCreature Commandosepisode 4, showingthe first look at the new DCU’s Wonder Woman, who wears her swimsuit-like costume.
The footage shows the debut of major DCU characters, which includeWonder Woman, Supergirl, Booster Gold, Hawkgirl, and, seemingly, Damian Wayne’s Robin. Wonder Woman’s role comes in the form of a vision of a bleak future shown by Circe — a Wonder Woman villain — to Amanda Waller. Previously, another part of the vision had also been shown in a trailer, withDavid Corenswet’s Superman debuting inCreature Commandos. Starfire and Peacemaker are also in the sequence.
What Wonder Woman’s DCU Debut Means
The New Diana Pince’s Suit Differs From Gal Gadot’s
Interestingly, Wonder Woman’s first DCU appearance leads to two observations. The first is related to her costume. In the DCU, Diana will wear her classic swimsuit-like costume. In live-action,Lynda Carter’s version of Wonder Woman also wore the suit. As for the movies, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman costume was inspired by the heroine’s more battle-ready version of the suit from the comics. The DCEU saw Diana wear an armored version of the Wonder Woman costume with a blue, metallic skirt. Since David Corenswet’s Superman brought back the red trunks, it makes sense that the DCU’s Wonder Woman wears the swimsuit.

Gal Gadot will reportedly not return as the DC Universe’s Wonder Woman, and there are some fan-favorite choices to take over the role of Diana Prince.
Another key observation that comes from Wonder Woman’s DCU debut is related to the characters that appear in Circe’s vision. Of all the heroes shown,only Wonder Woman does not have an announced projectin the franchise. While Starfire’s live-action DCU debut has not been officially commented on by James Gunn or DC Studios, aTeen Titans movie is reportedly in development, and her connection to the team makes her appearance there almost certain. This could mean that Gunn does have a Wonder Woman movie planned for the next few years, but has not announced it yet.
Our Take On Wonder Woman’s DCU Debut
DC’s Trinity Is Represented In Creature Commandos
So far, Wonder Woman and Superman are confirmed forCreature Commandos.Batman is the only member of DC’s Trinity left, but given how Damian Wayne is there, he could be in the full sequence. It is exciting to finally get concrete Wonder Woman news after some time with no updates. Gunn previously said that Wonder Woman would debut within the DCU’s first three years, but I was not expecting an appearance inCreature Commandos. Still, I’m happy to see the newWonder Womandebut, and giving her the classic swimsuit is a nice way to differentiate her from Gal Gadot’s.
Creature Commandos
Cast
