WONDER WOMAN IS HERE. TAKE A LOOK:
The DCEU hasn’t had the best track record in recent years, struggling to find its footing since the Nolan-era Batman films. While I think a lot of this criticism is unjustified, Wonder Woman has the potential to get DC back into the game.
Let me rephrase that into more Jen-esque terms: Wonder Woman looks fucking amazing.
Gal Gadot completely owns the character, illustrating early Diana’s naivety to the world around her while still adamant about protecting not just her Amazon people but also the people of the world. The Wonder Woman trailer is exactly what I want from a movie preview: it highlights the basic plot points of the film without spoiling too much of the main story (AHEM Batman v. Superman, Ghostbusters, etc.), it offers hints of action and comedy (a trait sorely lacking in other DC films), and it’s topped off with an empowering score.
There’s a lot of pressure on Wonder Woman to do well, not just for the DCEU, but for female superheroes, as well. After watching the trailer, I am very excited for Wonder Woman to release next summer and you all should be, too.
Wonder Woman stars Gal Gadot as the titular character, as well as Chris Pine, Robin Wright, and Connie Nielsen, and is directed by Patty Jenkins. Wonder Woman is slated to release June 9, 2017.
