Reports suggest that Gal Gadots portrayal of Wonder Woman, much like Henry Cavills Superman, has been left in limbo by the new management at DC. As a result, it is now rumored that Gadots appearance in the upcoming The Flash movie will also be removed.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dwayne Johnson has been implicated in the convoluted situation surrounding Henry Cavills return and subsequent departure from the DC Universe. It is due to his initial public announcement of Cavills comeback, followed by his retraction of that statement a mere two months later.
