This summer, the ever expansiveDCEUwill debut the first ever live-action movie featuring the iconicWonder Woman, after the character’s rich 75-year comic book history. To get fans ready for this superhero adventure, Warner Bros. released new photos fromWonder Woman, while DC Films president revealed during Warner Bros.' WonderCon panel that there are no concrete plans for aWonder Womansequel. When asked during the panel about the possibility of the sequel,Geoff Johnswould only state, “I can’t confirm that.” Of course, ifWonder Womanperforms well, there may be conversations about a sequel, but it may be too early for those conversations at this time.
Much likeBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeandSuicide Squadbefore it, rumors have recently surfaced thatWonder Womanis a “mess,” with an insider reportedly claiming that the movie was “very disjointed” after catching an early screening. However, another report from November claimed that Warner Bros. was much more confident in the DCEU after the movie was screened on the studio lot. DirectorPatty Jenkinsalso shot down earlier reports that the movie was in trouble, but it remains to be seen if the audience will come out in droves like they did forBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeandSuicide Squad, which, despite being trashed by the critics, both fared well at the box office. Warner Bros. is developing aSuicide Squadsequel, but it seems thatGotham City Sirensis coming first beforeSuicide Squad 2, withDavid Ayertaking the directorial reins on that project. As for aWonder Womansequel, it isn’t known ifGal Gadothas signed on for multiple films.
Despite the critical drubbingBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicetook, one of the few high points for most critics was the debut ofGal Gadot’s Diana Prince, a.k.a. Wonder Woman.Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justicealso set up thatWonder Womandoes not exactly look her age, withBen Affleck’s Bruce Wayne discovering a photo of Diana from World War I that dates back 100 years, where she’s seen alongside a number ofWonder Womancharacters such asChris Pine’sSteve Trevor.Wonder Womanwill take fans to the title character’s homeland of Themyscira, along with World War I-era London, with a third setting bringing the title character back to present day, most likely to connectWonder Womanwith the upcomingJustice League, in theaters November 17.
Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny. The supporting cast includesChris Pine,Robin Wright,Danny Huston,Ewen Bremner,Saïd Taghmaoui,Elena Anaya,Connie NielsenandLucy Davis.
