Whereas the way forward for the DC Universe on the massive and small display is a bit clearer now that the primary couple of years of DC initiatives have been revealed by James Gunn, there are nonetheless a variety of questions on the way it all connects, if in any respect, to the movies that got here earlier than. The way forward for considered one of DC’s greatest characters, Marvel Girl, continues to be one thing of a query. A deliberate Marvel Girl 3 has been shelved, which implies we doubtless received’t be seeing the actors from the earlier movies. Co-star Robin Wright already thought she was achieved with the franchise, however solely as a result of she didn’t notice Marvel Girl 3 was a chance.
Within the weeks after James Gunn and Peter Safran took the reins at DC Studios, a variety of modifications had been made. Henry Cavill, who had solely simply made his return as Superman, was gone as soon as once more, and Patty Jenkins’s therapy for a deliberate Marvel Girl 3 was apparently killed. Robin Wright, who performed Antiopie within the first two movies tells Yahoo she wasn’t even conscious there was work being achieved on a 3rd entry, so she thought her time as an Amazon was achieved, although she didn’t need it to be. Wright mentioned…
I assumed they had been ending with Marvel Girl 1984. However Patty and I each agreed that the Amazon part was such an excellent a part of that movie. I used to be like, ‘Why do not you write the Amazon film?’ Younger ladies wish to see that — it is actual feminine empowerment.
The curiosity from Robin Wright in a film centered not on Marvel Girl however on the Amazons is attention-grabbing, as a result of that’s nearly precisely what we’ll be getting. Paradise Misplaced will likely be a brand new DC sequence that can act as a prequel to the Marvel Girl story, exhibiting us her residence of Paradise Island in a interval earlier than Marvel Girl was born.
And for the document, Robin Wright says she’d be keen on reprising her position as Antiopie within the Paradise Misplaced sequence, although she says she “hasn’t obtained that decision but.” At this level, it appears unlikely that the decision will come. Except a complete change of path is made relating to Marvel Girl, it appears doubtless that after we see that character debut within the DCU it will likely be performed by someone apart from Gal Gadot. And whereas that doesn’t preclude different stars from the earlier movies from reprising their roles, it does make that appear extra unlikely.
As a lot as we now know concerning the future plans at DC Studios, there are nonetheless a variety of lacking particulars. Contemplating how in style and profitable Marvel Girl was the primary time round, and the way vital the character is to DC, it is all however sure we’ll see her ultimately. And who is aware of? If solid members from the earlier movies do get a name for the brand new sequence, it might point out that this franchise is not fairly achieved but.
