Gal Gadot is back in action as Diana Prince in this follow-up to 2017's mega-hit movie. Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig and Pedro Pascal also star in 'WW84,' out Oct. 2.
On May 20th, the day after Ruby Rose’s exit from Batwoman, Zack Snyder announced the upcoming release of The Snyder Cut of Justice League for HBO Max. But why, after so long in limbo, was it suddenly announced now? Could it have something to do with Star Wars The Mandalorian over at Disney+ ?
In this editorial, we will very briefly recap exactly what the Snyder Cut is and isn’t, why releasing it wasn’t an issue before, why it’s being released now, what form it might take.
Fast forward to the 1980s as Wonder Woman’s next big-screen adventure finds her facing two all-new foes: Max Lord and The Cheetah.
With director Patty Jenkins back at the helm and Gal Gadot returning in the title role, “Wonder Woman 1984” is Warner Bros. Pictures’ follow up to the DC Super Hero’s first outing, 2017’s record-breaking “Wonder Woman,” which took in $822 million at the worldwide box office. The film also stars Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Kristen Wiig as The Cheetah, Pedro Pascal as Max Lord, Robin Wright as Antiope, and Connie Nielsen as Hippolyta.
Charles Roven, Deborah Snyder, Zack Snyder, Patty Jenkins, Gal Gadot and Stephen Jones are producing the film. Rebecca Steel Roven Oakley, Richard Suckle, Marianne Jenkins, Geoff Johns, Walter Hamada, Chantal Nong Vo, and Wesley Coller are the executive producers.
Patty Jenkins directed from a screenplay she wrote with Geoff Johns & David Callaham, story by Jenkins & Johns, based on characters from DC. Joining the director behind the scenes are several members of her “Wonder Woman” team, including director of photography Matthew Jensen, Oscar-nominated production designer Aline Bonetto (“Amélie”), and Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming (“Topsy-Turvy”). Oscar-nominated editor Richard Pearson (“United 93”) is cutting the film. The music is by Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer (“Dunkirk,” “The Lion King”).
Warner Bros. Pictures Presents an Atlas Entertainment/Stone Quarry Production, a Patty Jenkins Film, “Wonder Woman 1984.” Set to open in theaters on June 5, 2019, in 2D and 3D in select theaters and IMAX, it will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
In Wonder Woman: Bloodlines, Amazon princess Diana of Themyscira chooses to save fighter pilot Steve Trevor and return him to his home in America - setting in motion one of Wonder Woman's most captivating chapters. Fulfilling the role of both ambassador as well as protector, Diana soon earns the name Wonder Woman from the gracious people of Earth. Equally strong in body, heart and will, she makes it her mission to help a troubled young girl enlisted by a deadly organization known as Villainy, Inc., whose criminal members have their sights set on invading Themyscira, Diana's paradise home.
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.
Wonder Woman is in theaters June 2, 2017.

But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes-Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash-it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

From Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Entertainment comes the epic action adventure starring Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen and Robin Wright, directed by Patty Jenkins.
Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman lead the DC Comics Super Heroes against their most infamous foes in adventures packed with relentless thrills, fun and action. No need to wait for the good stuff to start, each eleven-minute episode jumps in with lightning-paced action and heroics. Whether defending the Earth, facing invaders from space, or battling the bizarre forces of magic, the always-rotating team of Justice League heroes, are up to any challenge.
[Source: Collider] Nothing will ever compare to the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated series. But, fans were geeking out over the prospect of another cartoon coming to Cartoon Network starring DC’s pantheon of superheroes, Justice League Action. We’ve already seen some footage and heard some details from the network, but if you were expecting something more aligned with Unlimited, a batch of new clips have been unearthed to prove otherwise.
Comic Book Resources discovered some clips of Action from the YouTube channel Things I Like, and they illustrate a much more cartoony version than some of us may have been hoping for. It’s more Teen Titans Go! than Justice League Unlimited,based on the animation, the humor, and the fact that Khary Payton (King Ezekiel on The Walking Dead) reprises his voice role of Cyborg from Teen Titans Go!
There will still be tons of action, as we spotted in the trailer from Comic-Con.
The clips showcase a number of characters, including Batman, Superman, The Flash, Joker, Mongul, Toyman, Blue Beetle, and Chronos. In one, we see the heroes trying to save the Clown Prince of Gotham from Mongul before he’s thrown into outer space, while another features the team under the thrall of Toyman, as he forces them to perform a dance routine. Then there’s a face-off with Batman and Blue Beetle battling the time-manipulating Chronos after an encounter with crime boss Carmine Falcone.
Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill return as the voices of Batman and Joker, respectively, while Rachel Kimsey voices Wonder Woman, Jason J. Lewis voices Superman, James Woods voices Lex Luthor, and Josh Keaton voices Green Lantern. Other characters popping up will be Firestorm, Darkseid, Harley Quinn, Zatanna, Lobo, Hawkman, Vixen, Brainiac, Mr. Freeze, and many more.
Justice League Action will debut on November 27th with 11-minute installments. Watch the new clips below.
[Source: blastr] Warner Bros. has unleashed a brand-new trailer for director Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman. The movie stars Gal Gadot as Princess Diana, the Amazonian warrior princess first introduced in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
The full trailer boasts a lot of exciting new footage, including a sneak peek at Diana’s idyllic life on the Isle of Themyscira, before Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) arrives on the shores of Paradise Island, bringing with him the Great War. There’s much to see and a lot more to digest in the trailer below -- including the fact that one of the villains (the woman in the mask) appears to be Doctor Poison (uncomfirmed as of yet), a classic Wonder Woman villain who was a member of a supervillain team called Villainy Inc. -- but what I’m seeing so far is making me very excited about the upcoming comic book movie. Although I may be a tiny bit biased, because Wonder Woman was my favorite childhood female superhero.
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.
Wonder Woman also stars Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Ewen Bremner, Saïd Taghmaoui and Lucy Davis as Etta Candy. The movie will open on June 2, 2017.
San Diego Comic-Con hosted a very exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime panel in honor of Wonder Woman’s 75th Anniversary. Now, DC All Access is pleased to present that panel in full, featuring Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot, director Patty Jenkins, DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Jim Lee and Wonder Woman artist Nicola Scott.
[Source: blastr.com] A new image for director Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman has been released, featuring the mighty Amazons of the Island of Themyscira.
In the DC Comics, Themyscira is an island hidden from the eyes of men where the Amazons (the ones from the Greek myths) have thrived in harmony for centuries. Sometimes called Paradise Island, it's also the birthplace of one Princess Diana of Themyscira (Gal Gadot), daughter of Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen). About the island, producer Charles Roven said:
“Themyscira is influenced by the Greek but it’s clearly more than that. It’s a place that has the ‘you’ve never been to’ kind of feel. But once you’re there you’re not so sure you really want to leave so fast.”
The image released by Entertainment Weekly features the trio of immortal female warriors who have trained Diana. On Wonder Woman’s immediate left is her mother, Queen Hippolyta, who’s flanked by General Antiope (Robin Wright). On WW’s right is Antiope’s lieutenant, Menalippe (Lisa Loven Kongsli). Both Antiope and Menalippe are characters from the comics.
It’s Diana’s mom and her two aunts who make our warrior princess into the 5,000-year-old badass fighter we’ll meet in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, before she headlines her first solo movie alongside Chris Pine as her long-time love interest, Steve Trevor. As you guys may already know, Wonder Woman will take place during World War I, a whole century before the events of Batman v Superman.
Director Patty Jenkins says the trio of women don’t always see eye to eye. Where Hippolyta wants to shelter her daughter from the outside world, Antiope (the one responsible for Diana’s training) wants to prepare her for the world of man as Diana Prince.
“She is the only child they raised together. And their love for her manifests in a different way for each of them.”
About the look of the Amazons in the movie, she told EW, “To me, they shouldn’t be dressed in armor like men. It should be different. It should be authentic and real—and appealing to women.” But what about those totally unrealistic high heels (like, seriously?):
“It’s total wish-fulfillment,” she says, adding that the warriors have flats for heavy fighting. “I, as a woman, want Wonder Woman to be hot as hell, fight badass, and look great at the same time—the same way men want Superman to have huge pecs and an impractically big body. That makes them feel like the hero they want to be. And my hero, in my head, has really long legs.”
Wonder Woman will open in theaters on June 23, 2017.
