Next year’sBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicewill help set the table for Warner Bros.' massiveDC Comicsuniverse, that will includeJustice League Part 1,Justice League Part 2and numerous stand alone movies showcasing the individual heroes. One of those movies isWonder Woman, starringGal Gadotas the title character andChris Pineas her love interest Steve Trevor, which is scheduled to startproductionnext month. Today we have a new report fromJoBlo, which essentially confirms previous rumors while revealing that the story will actually be set a few months before the events ofBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
The report also reveals thatBatmanhimself will have a presence inWonder Woman, watching her from afar as she battles the “winged demonic minions” of the villainous Ares. The site also claims that, after the climactic finale, Batman will approach Diana of Themyscira, to let her know that he’s aware of her, which establishes their relationship and leads to her involvement inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. This approach will give Diana a proper origin story, without interfering in the plot ofBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
It hasn’t been confirmed ifBen Affleckhimself will don the Batman suit again, but it seems likely, especially since he reprised his role in the upcomingSuicide Squad. This report also reveals thatWonder Woman’s iconic Invisible Jet will be featured in the movie, but it won’t be shown inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The jet will supposedly come into play when Diana and Steve Trevor leave her homeland of Paradise Island for the first time.
This report also claims that rumors aboutWonder Womanbeing set in two different time periods are true, with the film set during World War I and present day. The story is said to be rooted in the original comic book stories, focusing on mythological elements. Ares and Circe, characters rumored to be played bySean BeanandEva Green, are the main villains, with Ares described as the “puppet master,” who is behind-the-scenes “pulling the strings.” Ares' costume will mirror his mythological armor from the comics, while Circe will wear a “cloth-based purple get-up.”
Ares is said to have an “army of beasts” described as “red or green demonic monsters with horns and wings,” who are said to be deployed to deterWonder Womanfrom stopping Circe’s mission. Circe herself is said to be rooted in sorcery, equipped with the power to turn men into beasts, who will take the form of a “Chimera-like monster” during her final battle withWonder Woman. Circe is said to have infiltrated high levels of the government, manipulating these politicians into starting World War III, whichWonder Womanhas to stop. This report also claims that Diana will tell Steve Trevor about her first battle with Circe, which took place in World War I, but it isn’t known if this battle will be shown in a flashback sequence. Despite the two different settings, a majority of the film will be set in present day. What do you think about these new details?
