While the cropped screen capture is on low-resolution, it’s clear that Wonder Woman is seen standing alongside the Shazam family with the glowing staff in her hands. This footage was also previously reported in the same spot with a different angle, an angle which had a more accurate look of the character being Wonder Woman, given the iconic tiara and red boots.

It is worth noting that it had been previously reported that this Wonder Woman may not be Gal Gadot’s version, but rather a “fake Wonder Woman” supposedly being portrayed by actress Taylor Cahill, as revealed by an official press release for Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

Despite the images being hard to pinpoint on who exactly is portraying the Amazonian in the Shazam sequel, Gal Gadot’s image is seemingly clearer than the previous footage. Gadot last played the role in Wonder Woman 1984, and DC Studios had already canceled Wonder Woman 3 upon DC Studios boss James Gunn and Peter Safran taking the reins.

While nothing has been set to stone yet on how Gal Gadot and Wonder Woman’s roles return in the future, with Wonder Woman making an appearance in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, it looks like the DCU is slowly interconnecting themselves with one movie after another.

Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman role remains as bleak as ever for now. DC fans will have to wait until The Flash arrives in theaters on June 16 this year.

In the meantime, DC Studio’s Shazam! Fury of the Gods is currently slated to premiere on March 17th.
