These images, shared as part of a social media trend suggesting “2026 is the new 2016,” bring back moments from the peak of the Snyder-era DCEU and have drawn attention for their timing.

Gal Gadot, Actress
Alignment with Zack Snyder’s Recent DC Updates
Gadot’s social media activity coincides with Zack Snyder releasing previously unseen Wonder Woman images and insights into his original concepts for Batman v Superman. These were Snyder’s first DC-related posts following news that Netflix won the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery’s assets.
Both Snyder’s monochrome photographs and Gadot’s nostalgic throwbacks connect with ongoing conversations about the SnyderVerse’s future, suggesting a shared intent to revisit and highlight this creative era amid changes within the franchise’s ownership and direction.
Fan Reactions and Industry Speculation
While Gadot’s posts use humor and nostalgia, the fan community is interpreting them as signs of potential developments for Snyder’s DC universe. The creators and cast members involved with the original SnyderVerse have become more active recently, creating buzz around possible continuation or revival.
Joe Manganiello contributed to the conversation by posting the “sell WBD to Netflix” hashtag, which reignited discussions around Deathstroke and other shelved Snyder DC projects. Industry watchers suspect that Netflix’s acquisition might open doors for large-scale franchises like the SnyderVerse, while a possible Paramount purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery could secure the SnyderVerse’s return.
Wonder Woman’s Role in Possible SnyderVerse Revival
Gal Gadot has consistently left the door open to returning as Wonder Woman, and her recent rare camera tests and convention throwbacks keep the character visible in current discussions. Coupled with Zack Snyder revisiting Wonder Woman’s foundational mythology, this renewed emphasis seems intentional.
The involvement and awareness of central SnyderVerse cast and creators indicate a willingness to engage with fans and possibly prepare for future projects. For supporters of the franchise, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman remains a pivotal element in any SnyderVerse comeback.
This resurgence occurs amid rumors that James Gunn is casting a new Wonder Woman for the evolving DC Universe, adding more intrigue to the timing of Gadot and Snyder’s posts.
