Several aspects of the plot yet remain undisclosed or open to mere speculation at this point in time, but none perhaps is more intriguing than Steve Trevor’s return. If you have no idea what I am talking about, you should check out the animated film, ‘Justice League: Doom’, or the kickass ‘Injustice 2’ videogame. A final, all-out battle between the two in a well-chosen setting should be bang for your buck. Barbara Ann Minerva, who will be playing the primary antagonist in the film. The second, more interesting plot point would be Wonder Woman’s conflict with her long standing nemesis Cheetah, alias Dr. With that established, I am also counting on a fair bit of political espionage and White House banter, which is where Pedro Pascal’s undisclosed character would step in. My guess is that the conflict Diana would find herself in would be of a similar nature.
The Cold War, though a tense period in the histories of both countries has otherwise proven to be a ripe setting for a number of films, and if superhero films are considered too, one of my absolute favourites, ‘X-Men: First Class’ has a lot to owe to that setting too. The current official synopsis of the film states that Wonder Woman would be coming into conflict with the Soviet Union during the Cold War in the 1980s, as she finds a formidable foe in the form of the Cheetah, revealing the two most interesting aspects that get me excited for the film even before the first look hits the internet. It’s time.” Where she was in the periods separating the two films, and whether she has been in the Americas before the film starts or would be traveling there in the wake of a crisis is still not known. The setting too sees a shift, moving to Washington DC from war torn London in the first one, of which Jenkins had this to say: “The story will take place in the U.S., which I think is right. Wonder Woman 1984 Plot: What is it about?Īccording to director Patty Jenkins, her treatment of the character was carefully envisioned in a trilogy of films centred around Wonder Woman, with the first one exploring her origins and the First World War, the second one moving forward in time and exploring another important historical event: The Cold War, and the third (yet to be announced) pitting her in modern times, much like ‘Batman V Superman’ or ‘Justice League’ did, but in her own solo story.Īs the title would suggest, ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ is set in the year 1984, and will feature a time shift from her original story, as suggested by WB’s official synopsis of the film too. Here is everything that we currently know about the much awaited film. ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ is currently in its post-production stages, and I wouldn’t be wrong in saying that the expectations for DC loyalists from this one are sky high, including myself. DC and WB immediately knew to signal a sequel, with all the people that made the first a success returning for the sequel as well. Critically too, it has the most unanimously well rounded score if recent superhero movies are considered, and was greatly well loved by the audience as well, as its sizable global sum at the box office would suggest.
It would not be an overstatement either if I state ‘ Wonder Woman’ to be the most successful DC film since ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy.

The hype around the ‘ Joker’ film starring Joaquin Phoenix is all but positive too.īut I would stand my ground saying that Wonder Woman is still the first successful property that DC has been able to utilize at least close to her full potential.
While ‘ Aquaman’ blew expectations out of the water (pun intended) by bringing home more than $1 Billion in revenue, and also with the relatively successful ‘ Shazam!’ reinstating faith in the brand, it would seem that the current direction being undertaken would lead to a bright future. However, let’s talk numbers here, because that is what will ultimately guide the decisions over at the studios and the fate of the future films. While I am completely on board with exploring lesser known characters and fleshing out individual characters, without an overarching connected narrative and each of the individual DC properties acting out in isolation, it does seem pretty directionless, still, and apologetically so. As a lifelong DC fan and among the very few positive believers of the DCEU, I had faith in what Snyder was doing, but not after WB tampered with the theatrical cut of ‘ Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice’ that made it into cinemas, and tied with Joss Whedon to completely butcher ‘Justice League’ beyond recognition of Snyder’s original vision.
