Diana from Themyscira is back – but this time she rides on a new wave of totally tubular and gnarly 80s energy.
The first trailer for Wonder Woman 1984, the successor of the successful Wonder Woman 2017, debuted at the Comic Con Experience in São Paul. Gal Gadot returns as a legendary warrior in the midst of the Cold War. Kristen Wiig plays Barbara Ann Minerva, a British archaeologist who becomes Cheetah while Pedro Pascal plays Max Lord, two of Wonder Woman’s most notorious enemies. Robin Wright and Connie Nelson return to their roles as Antiope and Hippolyta, respectively. Also back? Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, whom we last saw in an explosion in a fiery plane. But these are comics, so nobody really stays dead, right?
Patty Jenkins, who directed the Wonder Woman in 2016, returns to write and direct. The film is not necessarily a direct sequel, but a continuation of the line by Indiana Jones or James Bond as a source near Jenkins that Vulture described.
Wonder Woman 1984 was originally due to appear in December 2019 before being postponed to June 5, 2020, just at the start of the summer blockbuster season and a month after Marvel’s Black Widow.
