as their characters. Aquaman actor Jason Momoa was said to be in talks to play a new DC role in the DCU, leaving Gadot's possible DC future with a new character. That means the Wonder Woman role is available for the new DC Universe, and there are some talented actresses that could replace Gadot as DC's new Wonder Woman.
Jaimie Alexander has experience with superhero movies, having played Lady Sif opposite Chris Hemsworth's Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The character was severely underused, limiting how much Alexander's talents could be shown onscreen.
By playing , Alexander could show the same kind of grit and dramatic range she brought to her lead role in , with the actress having played a character that was raised since a child to become a soldier in the series, something that relates to Diana's training with the Amazons and posterior role as Wonder Woman.
Adrianne Palicki is a special case, as she has played Wonder Woman before, albeit it did not work exactly as expected. Palicki gave life to Diana Prince in an unaired television pilot that was meant to be the first step toward Palicki leading her own Wonder Woman series.
The episode can be watched online, and it shows that Palicki would have been a great Wonder Woman, bringing great energy to the role and delivering a charming performance as Diana. While the pilot itself was not the best, , and having the actress take over for Gadot would be correcting one of the wrongs of DC's past. Ana de Armas is currently the most popular fancast for the Wonder Woman role in the new DC Universe, even prior to the confirmation that Gadot would not be returning.

, and Sadie Rhodes in opposite Captain America actor Chris Evans, that she has what it takes to play an action-heavy Wonder Woman in the DCU. Ana is extremely charismatic and possesses a great acting range that would make Wonder Woman one of the DCU's fan-favorite characters. With her lead role as Princess Jasmine in Disney's live-action , Naomi Scott showed that she can honor such an iconic character like Wonder Woman, injecting a new energy into Diana. Playing Kimberly, aka the Pink Ranger, in the Power Rangers movie reboot, Scott also showed that she has the necessary physicality to play the warrior Amazon in the DC Universe.
At 30, Scott could easily play Wonder Woman for at least the next decade. Conor Leslie is no stranger to the Wonder Woman mythos, with the actress having given life to Donna Troy, aka Wonder Girl, on DC's series. While the show did not always treat Donna as she should have been treated, Leslie excelled in the role, being part of engaging fights and showing all her charisma and dramatic chops in the role. As , Leslie is free to go from one Amazon to another. The actress has shown with Wonder Girl that she has what it takes to play the DC Universe's Wonder Woman, and Leslie's casting would bring in a built-in fanbase to the DCU.
Lauren Cohan has cemented her dramatic ability and physical prowess by playing Maggie Rhee, née Greene, in and its recent spinoff, . Maggie is a natural leader and a fighter, much like Diana, which makes Cohan a perfect fit to serve as the DC Universe's Wonder Woman. The actress also has experience with DC characters, as Cohan appeared briefly opposite her partner Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Martha and Thomas Wayne, respectively, in the DCEU's .
Elizabeth Debicki's experience playing Diana, Princess of Wales, in is a perfect fit for the direction the DC Universe is taking the Wonder Woman mythos. When revealing the DCU's slate, Gunn announced that the will debut before Diana returns to the big screen. was revealed to chronicle the adventures of the Amazons of Themyscira several years before Wonder Woman was born, with the show's political aspect being compared to . Debicki's Wonder Woman could continue that theme, with the actress being uniquely equipped for the direction Gunn is taking the Wonder Woman corner of the DCU.
Jodie Comer has it all. From her dramatic ability to her impeccable comedic timing, the actress would be able to bring a reinvigorating energy to the Wonder Woman of the new DC Universe. The new Wonder Woman needs to be compassionate, confident, charming, and, most of all, a warrior. Comer has shown with past roles in projects such as and her leading role as Villanelle in that she has what it takes to play a compelling, action-heavy character such as Diana. Comer's dramatic skills are showcased in , with the actress' range being perfect to make Wonder Woman one of the DCU's best heroes.
Adria Arjona's popularity has skyrocketed after her debut in the Star Wars universe, with the actress giving life to the charming Bix Caleen in Disney+'s . Bix is fierce, charming, and has a no-nonsense attitude, which makes Arjona a great pick to become the DC Universe's Wonder Woman. Arjona's role in Netflix's opposite Ryan Reynolds showed her ability to bring Wonder Woman's epic fights to life. The actress also needs to get a better superhero role on her credits after appearing in the infamous , and there is no better role for Arjona than that of the DCU's Wonder Woman.
Finally, when , Alexandra Daddario stands as one of the most popular fancasts for Wonder Woman. Daddario's role as the daughter of Athena — a patron goddess of the Amazons — Annabeth Chase in two movies makes the actress a perfect fit to take up Wonder Woman's Greek mythology ties in the new DC Universe, an important aspect of the hero that was barely explored by the DCEU. Daddario voicing Lois Lane in DC's animated Tomorrowverse continuity is good for her chances, as whoever is cast as Wonder Woman will also have to voice her in animation and video games.
