A New Diana Prince in the Making?

The DC Universe, under the stewardship of James Gunn, is undergoing a massive reboot, and one of the most iconic roles up for grabs is that of Wonder Woman. Australian actress Jessica Green has recently thrown her hat into the ring, sparking excitement among fans. Green, known for her roles in The Outpost and Air, took to Instagram to share her intention to audition for the role of Diana Prince, as reported by multiple sources on X earlier this week on April 27 and 28, 2025. While it remains unclear whether Green has officially secured an audition, her announcement has ignited a wave of support and speculation.

Who Is Jessica Green?

Jessica Green is no stranger to action-packed roles. The 32-year-old actress has a background in martial arts and is known for performing her own stunts, making her a compelling candidate for the physically demanding role of Wonder Woman. Fans on X have been quick to point out her qualifications, with user @Gabriel53924149 noting, “She’s a pretty good actress, can do her own stunts, and has a background in martial arts.” Green’s previous work includes starring in the fantasy series The Outpost and the thriller Air, showcasing her versatility and ability to handle high-intensity roles—qualities essential for portraying the Amazonian warrior.

The Wonder Woman Casting Debate

The role of Wonder Woman has been a hot topic since Gal Gadot’s tenure as the character concluded with the DCEU. Gadot’s portrayal, starting with 2017’s Wonder Woman, was widely praised, but with Gunn’s reboot, a new actress is expected to take up the mantle. Green isn’t the only contender; Adria Arjona, known for Andor and Hit Man, has also been a fan-favorite pick, as noted in articles from movieweb.com and fandomwire.com on March 28, 2025. Both actresses have expressed enthusiasm for the role, with Green’s recent social media post adding fuel to the casting fire.

However, James Gunn has been candid about the challenges of casting Wonder Woman. On October 14, 2024, Gunn commented on Threads (via cbr.com) that finding a “talented actress 6’5” or over” to match the comic book height of Diana Prince might be difficult, though he’s open to casting a less famous actress as long as she’s a professional. At 5’8”, Green may not tower over her potential co-stars, but her skills and determination could make her a standout.

What’s Next for Wonder Woman in the DCU?

As of now, Wonder Woman’s future in the DCU remains uncertain. While a prequel series, Paradise Lost, has been announced, there’s no confirmation of a standalone Wonder Woman project in the immediate pipeline, according to forbes.com on January 17, 2025. This ambiguity leaves room for speculation about when—and if—Green might get her chance to audition. For now, her announcement has certainly put her on the radar of DC fans, who are eager to see a fresh take on the iconic heroine.

Fan Reactions and the Road Ahead

The buzz around Green’s potential casting has been overwhelmingly positive on social media. Fans are drawn to her athleticism and acting chops, with many on X calling for a “trinity with blue eyes” alongside other DCU hopefuls like Brandon Sklenar for Batman. However, until Gunn and DC Studios make an official announcement, Green’s role remains a hopeful rumor. Will she become the next Wonder Woman, or will another actress claim the lasso of truth? Only time will tell.
