PHOTO: Alexandra Daddario Replaces Gal Gadot as DCU’s Wonder Woman


So long, Gal Gadot? A new image has been shared and sees film and television star Alexandra Daddario takeover as the DCU’s Wonder Woman.
Next year, Warner Bros.’s rebooted DC franchise, the DC Universe (or DCU), will begin. Replacing the current DC Extended Universe (DCEU), which has, for some time now, been widely panned by both critics and audiences, the DCU is headed up by the co-CEOs of DC Studios, James Gunn and Peter Safran.

It was announced in late 2022 that Gunn and Safran would be taking the troubled franchise on, and at the start of this year, in January, Gunn outlined the pair’s initial plan for the reboot.
Titled “Chapter One: Gods and Monsters,” the DCU will completely refresh everything fans have come to know about the live-action DC franchise, including replacing established characters with new actors.

For the movie arm of the project, Gunn and Safran will include films centered around Superman, Supergirl, Swamp Thing, and Batman, while on the TV side, projects will include a show focusing on Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller, and a visit to Themyscira in the political drama, Paradise Lost, inspired by the comics.
Themyscira appeared in Wonder Woman (2017), directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot as the lead Amazonian, Diana Prince, AKA the titular Wonder Woman. Jenkins and Gadot would reteam for the sequel Wonder Woman 1984 (2020), which also starred pop culture icon Pedro Pascal as Maxwell “Max Lord” Lorenzano. Gadot also appeared in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) with Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill, Justice League (2017), and Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021).

Jenkins was tapped to work on a third Wonder Woman film in the DCEU, but due to the major reshuffle and reboot, Gunn and Safran said there was no place for the movie in the current plans. As for its star, there is no clear answer as to whether Gadot will return as Wonder Woman in future projects.
Speaking to ComicBook, Gadot revealed that she, Gunn, and Safran would be developing a third entry into the Wonder Woman series together. “I love portraying Wonder Woman,” Gadot told the outlet in August. “It’s so close to and dear to my heart. From what I heard from James [Gunn] and from Peter [Safran], it is that we’re gonna develop a Wonder Woman 3 together.”

Later, in Flaunt Magazine, Gadot discussed Wonder Woman 3 again.
“I was invited to a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran, and what they told me, and I’m quoting: ‘You’re in the best hands. We’re going to develop Wonder Woman 3 with you. [We] love you as Wonder Woman — you’ve got nothing to worry about.’ So time will tell.”
However, according to Variety, those conversations were never anything concrete, and, in fact, there are no current plans for Wonder Woman in the DC Universe.
Daddario, best known for her roles as Annabeth Chase in the Percy Jackson film series as well as for her Emmy-nominated role as Rachel Patton in HBO’s The White Lotus, has been costumed up as the new DCU’s Wonder Woman.
The fan art, which comes by the way of Jaxson Derr (@jaxsonderr), imagines the actress as the DCU’s new Diana Prince, with many fans celebrating the concept and calling for it to be true. You can check the character out here:
Per the comments made above, there are no current plans for Wonder Woman to appear in the new DC universe at this time. However, what is interesting is that many seemingly wouldn’t mind if the character returned without Gal Gadot. Gadot recently appeared as Rachel Stone in the action thriller Heart of Stone (2023) on Netflix and will next star as the Evil Queen in The Walt Disney Company’s live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Snow White (2024).
While the jury is still out on whether Gadot will eventually return to the DC franchise, there is a high possibility she will be replaced. After Henry Cavill was ousted from his role as Clark Kent/Superman, Gunn and Safran cast David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel alongside Rachel Brosnahan, who takes over from Amy Adams as Lois Lane. They will appear in the first DCU movie, Superman: Legacy (2025).
Projects announced for the DCU are Superman: Legacy, The Brave and the Bold, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, The Authority, Swamp Thing, Creature Commandos, Waller, Lanterns, Paradise Lost, and Booster Gold.
As for the remainder of the DCEU, this year has seen Ezra Miller’s The Flash (2023) and Blue Beetle (2023) release, with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) starring Jason Momoa, debuting this December.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
