Actress Ana De Armas responds to rumours she may replace Gal Gadot
Actress Ana de Armas has finally shared a response to the Wonder Woman rumours. The Cuban-born actress has broken her silence on the speculation that she will replace Gal Gadot as the new Wonder Woman, reports aceshowbiz.com.
In the Wired Auto Complete Interview, the ‘Blonde’ actress was asked if she’s going to take over the Wonder Woman role in the new DCEU under the supervision of James Gunn and Peter Safran.
Showing her support for the Israeli actress to keep the mantle, she responded: “Well I feel like Gal Gadot is doing a great job, so, you know, I think she should keep doing that.”
Words swirled on the Internet that de Armas could become the new Wonder Woman after DC decided not to move forward with Patty Jenkins’ ‘Wonder Woman 3’.
It was reported in December 2022 that the director decided to walk away from the project after Gunn and Safran, who are tasked with reshaping the DC landscape, turned down her treatment for the threequel.
Clarifying the reports, Jenkins said in a lengthy statement released via Twitter, “Here are the facts: I originally left Rogue Squadron after a long and productive development process when it became clear it couldn’t happen soon enough and I did not want to delay WW3 any further.”
The 51-year-old stated, “When I did, Lucasfilm asked me to consider coming back to RS after WW3, which I was honoured to do, so I agreed. They made a new deal with me. In fact, I am still on it and that project has been in active development ever since. I don’t know if it will happen or not. We never do until the development process is complete, but I look forward to its potential ahead.”
Slamming “clickbait false story” about how she allegedly killed “WW3”, Jenkins continued, “When there started being backlash about WW3 not happening, the attractive clickbait false story that it was me that killed it or walked away started to spread. This is simply not true. I never walked away. I was open to considering anything asked of me.’’ (IANS)
