Alexandra Daddario’s superhero movie comments are good for the possibility of her becoming the Wonder Woman of the new DC Universe. Despite some initial confusion on the matter, Gal Gadot will not return to the DCU movie slate as Diana Prince. Her Wonder Woman 3 has been scrapped, with the role set to be recast for a new solo movie.
That project has become a priority for DC, with the progress on the DCU Wonder Woman movie coming as many names emerge as favorites to take over the coveted role. Chief among them are popular actresses like Ana de Armas, Adria Arjona, and Daddario. The latter has been a Wonder Woman fan favorite for years, and her superhero comments are exciting.
Alexandra Daddario Has Already Revealed Her Stance On Joining Superhero Movies
Back when Daddario starred as Annabeth Chase in two Percy Jackson movies, she mentioned in an interview that she would be game to appear in a Wonder Woman movie. Despite the years passing without a superhero role for the actress — Daddario was reportedly a top choice for Marvel’s Jessica Jones — the star’s more recent superhero comments still keep fans’ Wonder Woman hopes alive.
Speaking to ComicBook.com in 2019, Daddario was asked about the prospect of being part of a superhero movie due to the recurring speculation that she would join one. According to Daddario, she “would love to be part of any of those films.” That said, while fans might be thinking of her for Wonder Woman, the actress has no role in mind.
Daddario’s stance on superhero movies, and her career in general, is that she will not focus on a character until she has been offered the role or has an audition set. Based on her superhero movie comments, it seems like Daddario would still be open to playing Wonder Woman in James Gunn’s DC Universe. She’s just not actively thinking about it.
Why Alexandra Daddario Would Be Perfect As The DC Universe’s Wonder Woman
Daddario would be a great Wonder Woman, not only because she has the looks for the character, but because of how some of her past acting experiences have prepared her for Diana Prince. I always come back to the Percy Jackson franchise due to how Daddario played a smart and strong warrior with Greek mythology connections.
Recently, her efforts as a lead in Mayfair Witches have helped the show become a hit for AMC. Daddario can alternate between naive and experienced as a role sees fit, and both work well for different sides of Wonder Woman. Additionally, the actress has DC experience after voicing Lois Lane in multiple animated movies, making Alexandra Daddario a well-rounded DCU Wonder Woman casting choice.
