Wonder Woman (2017): Synopsis & Trailer Review

Gal Gadot who was one of the biggest surprises of the Batman V. Superman movie is returning to the big screen in June 2017 in her first solo movie which hopefully would be good enough it is not the last.

Wonder Woman will release on June 2nd 2017, just five and a half months before the first Justice League movie. I guess the timing was selected deliberately to make sure Wonder Woman is well introduced. The Justice League movie will have to work with introducing multiple characters. They have the CW Flash series to thank for having made many if not most fans acquainted with the character but they will still need the Justice League movie to give the fans a background check on Cyborg and Aquaman. Adding more characters to introduce and fully acquaint the audiences with would probably be a Nightmare while trying to fit an entire story as well.

We already know that Wonder Woman will be starring both Gal Gadot in the title role along with Chris Pine in the role of Steve Trevor. Steve Trevor is a lead supporting character in the Womder Woman Comics.

Trevor is a US Military Intelligence Officer in the Air Corps who got stranded on Diana Prince's homeland and ended up developing a close relationship with her. In the comic books and after crashing on her island the Amazon Princess Diana nurses him back to health, falls in love with him and accompanies him to the outside world when he leaves, where she becomes Wonder Woman. The comics played their relationship mostly as a series of damsel in distress situations, with Steve being the damsel here.

Warner Bros released the following first official synopsis for the movie in the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con:

Wonder Woman’ hits movie theaters around the world next summer when Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action adventure from director Patty Jenkins. 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.
