Does Gal Gadot’s praise for new Skydance Israeli leadership signal a ‘Wonder Woman’ comeback?

The actress recently praised Skydance co-CEO Ynon Kreiz for speaking out against antisemitism

Gal Gadot has found herself back in the spotlight as speculation about her future as Wonder Woman intensifies following major changes at DC Studios and a high-profile appearance alongside Skydance executives.

The Israeli actress recently attended the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s 2026 Humanitarian Award Dinner in Beverly Hills, where she joined producer Jeffrey Katzenberg and Skydance chairman David Ellison in presenting an award to co-CEO Ynon Kreiz.

During her speech, Gadot praised Kreiz for speaking out against antisemitism, describing his leadership as a source of hope amid growing hostility towards Jewish people. She said she was frightened by how openly hatred was being expressed and praised Kreiz for standing firm and supporting his community.

The appearance attracted additional attention because it came shortly after Paramount Skydance completed its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, bringing DC’s film and television operations under new corporate ownership. The timing has fuelled speculation about whether the incoming leadership could reconsider some of the franchise’s creative decisions.

Gadot’s name has resurfaced amid reports of possible changes to Man of Tomorrow, the upcoming Superman sequel. However, claims that the studio is considering bringing her back as Wonder Woman remain unconfirmed.

James Gunn and Peter Safran have also been replaced as DC Studios chiefs, with Jeremy Latcham taking over. The transition has prompted questions about the direction of the superhero franchise and the future of characters introduced under the previous leadership.

Gadot previously suggested she was unlikely to reprise Wonder Woman, explaining that her family commitments made another lengthy production difficult. She also said she had not held specific discussions about returning to the character.

Meanwhile, DC is developing a separate Wonder Woman film with Ana Nogueira writing the screenplay. No actress has been officially confirmed for the role.
