DC Studios' ParadiseLost could be the perfect way to recast the DCU's WonderWoman:
There's a lot of excitement and intrigue around the future of the DC Universe, especially now that DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran have announced their plans for the franchise. One of the biggest questions has been exactly which actors from the existing big-screen canon will stay in their roles, especially as the saga is recasting some characters and sticking with others.
What is Paradise Lost about?The HBO Max-exclusive series is described as a Game of Thrones-style take on Wonder Woman's home of Themyscira, which will dive into the politics and relationships among its all-female society. "This is a Game of Thrones-type story about the atmosphere of Paradise Island, home of the Amazons and the birthplace of Wonder Woman," Gunn said during a presentation unveiling the slate to reporters."And this involves all the darkness and drama and political intrigue behind this society of only women.
How would Paradise Lost help recast Wonder Woman?It's unclear at this point exactly how wide of a span of time Paradise Lost will cover — whether it will dive into the very early history of the Amazons' relationship with the Old Gods, the generation of heroines like Hippolyta that predated Diana, or some combination of the two. But regardless, the very concept of Paradise Lost allows for more of Themyscira's lore to be explored.
If it wanted to, Paradise Lost could easily lean into the fantastical nature of the clay origins, and explain why they're a significant part of the Amazons' mythos. That could easily, down the line, provide an opportunity to show Hippolyta crafting Diana out of clay — a moment that would undoubtedly be poignant, for comic fans and viewers of the show alike.
