Wonder Woman Video Game Update: Monolith Game Looks Doomed
In a new report from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, he gives details on Monolith and the current struggles they are having with the Wonder Woman video game. The game was allegedly one of WB Games' 'biggest bets,' and has already cost the company $100 million according to people familiar with the situation. It also seems that there is doubt it will ever launch to the public with it being 'years away' from being finished.
'One of the company's biggest bets in development, a video game based on Wonder Woman, has struggled to coalesce, according to people familiar with the project,' says Schreier. 'Early last year, it was rebooted and switched directors. The game has already cost more than $100 million, said the people who asked not to be identified discussing nonpublic information, and is still years away from release, if it ever makes it to market.'
According to the report, it has been a struggle for Monolith Productions to get anything out to the public since its 2017 release Middle Earth: Shadow of War. Following the sequel, the studio began work on a brand new franchise that experimented with procedural storytelling. It was inevitably canceled in 2021 in which they began working on the Wonder Woman video game. Now three years later, the studio still has nothing to show due to shifts in leadership at the company, and technological issues with the game.
'It has now been more than seven years since the studio's last game. An initial version of Wonder Woman tried reimagining the Nemesis system with the game's namesake heroine befriending enemies, but that idea has since been tossed out in favor of a more traditional action-adventure game,' said Schreier. 'Now, Wonder Woman's fate remains in question, according to the people familiar with the business, because of challenges following the changes in Monolith's leadership and issues surrounding the game's technology.'

After James Gunn said the movie was a "priority", the DCU's Wonder Woman reboot hires Supergirl screenwriter to pen the script
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The DCU's Wonder Woman reboot has found its screenwriter: Ana Nogueira, who also wrote the upcoming Supergirl movie for DC Studios (via Deadline). This update comes hot on the heels of DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn saying that he's "always had Wonder Woman as a priority" News first broke of the DCU's new take on Diana Prince last month, but this is the first concrete detail we've had since then (no director or actors are attached to the project just yet). Gal Gadot played Wonder Woman in the DCEU, originating the role in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before taking center stage in 2017's Wonder Woman, directed by Patty Jenkins. A sequel, Wonder Woman 1984, followed in 2020, and a third movie was announced in 2021 with Gadot set to return. However, in 2022, after Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios, the threequel was cancelled. As for Supergirl, Nogueira's first DCU project, the upcoming movie stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, Superman's party girl cousin, who ends up on a "murderous quest for revenge" during her travels across the galaxy (with Krypto in tow, of course). Based on the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic by Tom King, the movie is directed by I, Tonya and Cruella helmer Craig Gillespie and will also star Matthias Schoenaerts and Eve Ridley, as well as featuring Jason Momoa as Lobo. Nogueira, whose Supergirl screenplay is her debut feature film script, is reportedly also working on a live-action Teen Titans movie for the DCU. Supergirl arrives in theaters on June 26, 2026 as part of the DCU Chapter One. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the other upcoming DC movies and shows on the way. Solve the daily Crossword

The White Lotus star Lisa has posted a mysterious DC tease, and now fans are convinced she's got a role in the DCU as Catwoman or Batgirl
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The White Lotus star Lisa has shared a mysterious Instagram post that seems to be referencing something DC-related, and fans are going wild with speculation. Lisa, who is one-fourth of the girl group Blackpink, is currently on tour – and, after donning some particularly superhero-esque outfits for her solo set, seemingly compared herself to Wonder Woman and Catwoman in her post, which is captioned "Keep scrolling" with an eyes emoji. Check it out below. Now, that seems innocent enough, except the official DC account commented: "We're scrolling," complete with an eyes emoji, a black heart, a bat, and a star. That's not the only account that has interacted with the post, either, with a HBO Max account and DC's official Asia account also commenting. Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean Lisa is joining the DCU. Her music video for her single "FUTW" contained a Batman reference, since a version of ACE Chemicals appears, so it's possible she's simply a fan (and she's performing this song on tour, too, so the references make sense). But, people are running with the theories anyway. One person has pointed out that Lisa has shared pictures featuring a cat phone case, potentially linking her to Catwoman. "Lisa pulling up in a car that looks straight outta Batman's garage then hits us with a 'keep scrolling' and suddenly we've got Wonder Woman, Catwoman fan edit, AND that phone case?????????" says another fan. "And then she ended with this," points out someone else, with a video clip of Lisa wearing a Labubu-inspired cape, with trousers that appear to feature a woman with cat ears and a ball of yarn. People are also speculating that Lisa could be teasing another DC character, though: Batgirl. "Batgirl? Omg what is ittt!!!" asks another person. "LISA CASSANDRA CAIN INCOMING" says someone else – Cassandra Cain was also Batgirl in DC Comics. "Welcome back Batgirl," says another person. "OMGG THE BAT EMOJI??? SOMETHING BIG IS DEFINITELY COMING LISA AS BATWOMAN??" wonders someone else (Batgirl and Batwoman are two separate heroes in the DC universe). While there are DCU Batman and Wonder Woman projects in the works, no casting has been announced for either, and all we know about Batman is that it will feature Damian Wayne's Robin. The Wonder Woman movie just secured a writer, but James Gunn told us recently that there are no new updates to share on the Batman project, which is titled The Brave and the Bold. Most likely, then, Lisa is just sharing the love for an iconic franchise. Maybe she'll be channelling another DC hero at the next tour stop? The DCU's latest project, Superman, is in theaters now.
