For some time now, it’s been a topic of debate and, shockingly, controversy, but it seems we now know for sure that the Justice League, as established by Zack Snyder in 2016’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is no more.
In the latest issue of Variety, it’s confirmed that, while we knew Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill were gone and Batman and Superman, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman is no more and she joins Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, Ezra Miller’s Flash and Ray Fisher’s Cyborg.
Up until this point, there was some question over Momoa, Gadot and Miller but it seems that there’s no longer any question.
“None of the stars cast by Zack Snyder for 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and 2017’s Justice League — including Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller and Momoa — will reprise their roles in the new DC universe in character,” reads the trade’s report.

Look with James Gunn and Peter Safran having taken over the reins at Warners/DC, we figured this would be the case – even if the cast of Gunn’s The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker all seem safe – but now we know if for sure.
Is this really a shock to you guys? Were you hoping to see any/all Snyder’s Justice League back? Let me know all your thoughts, gang.
Personally, I was hoping we’d see Cavill, Affleck and Gadot again but that dream is dead and gone now but, look, I’m sad for that but I’m not sad to see what Gunn and Safran have in mind for the DCEU, I’m excited to see what’s coming and I love the plan to have movies, TV shows, animated movies and shows and games all existing in the same reality without being entirely reliant on each other.

Word is Gal Gadot will be returning as Wonder Woman in Gunn and Safran’s DCU

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
