Gal Gadot reunites with Chris Pine in Wonder Woman 1984 trailer
Wonder Woman 1984 is scheduled for release on June 5, 2020.
(Web Desk) - Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman is returning to the big screen to save the world but the sequel jumps about 70 years ahead from its predecessor’s World War I setting, as the trailer makes clear with some obligatory ‘80s fashion and music.
The trailer features plenty of shots of Gadot in action, and she even gets to show off a new Wonder Woman costume. The film also brings back Chris Pine as Steve Trevor — (SPOLIER) who died at the end of the first film, but it seems that he’s back from the dead and back in the middle of the story. (SPOILER)
Warner Bros. has not released too many details about the sequel, but the studio did offer this one-line summary of what fans should expect: “Diana Prince comes into conflict with the Soviet Union during the Cold War in the 1980s and finds a formidable foe by the name of the Cheetah.”
Cheetah is known within DC Comics as one of Wonder Woman’s archenemies, originally appearing in Wonder Woman #6 back in 1943. This is the first time Cheetah is appearing in a live-action movie with Wonder Woman. She’ll be played by former Saturday Night Live cast member Kristen Wiig.
The trailer also provides glimpses of Kristen Wiig as an archeologist who eventually becomes the villainous Cheetah and Pedro Pascal as the tycoon Maxwell Lord. And there are new scenes set in Wonder Woman’s childhood home, the mythical island of Themyscira.
“Wonder Woman 1984” is scheduled for release on June 5, 2020.
Wonder Woman 1984 marks the ninth entry in the DC Extended Universe, following Shazam earlier this year and Aquaman in 2018. This is Wonder Woman’s fourth appearance in the DCEU following Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the first Wonder Woman film in 2017 and Justice League a few months later.
