NYCC 2016: Wonder Woman Animated Project On WB's Radar!

This is the year of Wonder Woman with the iconic first lady of DC celebrating her 75th anniversary this year, and will star in her first solo movie in 2017. DC has been celebrating the Amazing Amazon at New York Comic Con, debuting her stamps, but it was the answer to a question from the audience today at the first-look screening of the animated Justice League Dark. that got a lot of attention. Warner Bros. Animation Supervising Producer James Tucker revealed another Wonder Woman animated project may be on the horizon.

“We discussed with Warner video, and they have Wonder Woman on their radar in some form or fashion.”

- James Tucker

The character’s last animated solo movie was in the 2009 direct-to-DVD film Wonder Woman, which was loosely based on the 1987 comic book arc Gods and Monsters by George Perez, Greg Potter and Len Wein. The movie starred Keri Russell as Wonder Woman and Nathan Fillion as Steve Trevor, with Alfred Molina as Ares, Rosario Dawson as Artemis, Marg Helbenberger as Hera, Oliver Platt as Hades and Virginia Madsen as Hippolyta.

It should come as no surprise that Warner Home Entertainment would have Wonder Woman on their radar, given this is her anniversary and her big screen debut earlier this year in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Gal Gadot's performance was raved about by critics even amid otherwise-mixed to negative reviews. She’ll reprise the role in 2017 in a solo film, directed by Patty Jenkins, before appearing in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
