Gal Gadot is opening up about her exit as Wonder Woman and DC Studios' treatment of Henry Cavill.** On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down Gadot's new comments, why she says she won't return as Wonder Woman, and what she had to say about the controversial way **Henry Cavill's Superman** era came to an end.
With **James Gunn and Peter Safran** moving forward with a new DC Universe, the transition away from the previous DCEU continues to generate discussion. Was DC's handling of Cavill a mistake? Could Gadot ever return somewhere down the road, or has the DCU officially closed the door on her Wonder Woman?
Plus, could **WWE superstar Cody Rhodes** actually be joining Marvel Studios' **X-Men reboot**? After recent Marvel speculation surrounding Rhodes, a new report has fans wondering whether he has landed a role in the MCU.
We also discuss **Xolo MaridueƱa's Blue Beetle** and his potential DCU future in **Man of Tomorrow**. Xolo has now addressed the possibility of making his official DCU debut, raising even more questions about how Blue Beetle fits into James Gunn's universe.
And at the box office, **Practical Magic 2** is reportedly heading toward a big opening. Can the long-awaited sequel turn nostalgia into another major theatrical success?
