Introducing the highly anticipated first glimpse of Wonder Woman 1984, where Gal Gadot returns as the iconic Diana alongside director Patty Jenkins and the charming Chris Pine as her on-screen love interest. In this brief teaser, lasting just under 20 seconds, we find our immortal demigoddess and Amazon princess transported back to the Reagan era in Washington D.C.
Diana, donning her familiar attire of a blue skirt, golden belt, and her trusty lasso, showcases her striking appearance with a red, strapless top. Completing her armor ensemble are protective knee, shin, and arm guards. Standing on a vantage point overlooking a city consumed by raging flames, she exudes both power and determination.
Amidst the chaos, a helicopter ominously hovers above, bringing an unidentified man’s voice to Diana’s ears, declaring that the world is in need of her extraordinary abilities.

In a truly remarkable moment, slowed down for maximum precision, she confronts two menacing hands aiming a gun at her, employing her quick reflexes to disarm the situation by effortlessly flicking the bullet away using her arm.

Accompanied by a voiceover, she utters the profound words, “Lies seldom bring anything good, and greatness is often misconstrued.” The scene transitions to her soaring through the sky, utilizing her electric whip as a tether, attached to bolts of lightning.

Challenging Deception: Through a confident voiceover, she asserts that falsehoods do not yield positive outcomes, and true greatness remains misconstrued.
Details about the forthcoming movie are scarce until the complete trailer is unveiled this Sunday. However, what is known is that the film will portray Diana embroiled in a conflict with the Soviet Union during the 1980s, where she will face off against formidable enemies, namely the Cheetah and Maxwell Lord.
Interestingly, the backdrop of the movie, which takes place during the Cold War, resonates with today’s issue of false information. This historical era was notorious for disinformation campaigns launched by the United States and its adversaries.
Director Patty Jenkins has made it clear that Wonder Woman 1984 is not simply a direct sequel. Rather, it takes place 70 years after the events of the first film and aims to tell a distinctly unique story, showcasing the immortal superhero in a completely different phase of her life.
Upcoming arrival: Mark your calendars for Sunday when the complete trailer will make its debut ahead of the film’s grand premiere in June 2020.
In the upcoming sequel, Steve Trevor, portrayed by Chris Pine, will be making a surprising return despite being believed dead in the previous film. Director Jenkins recently shared an image of Pine on set, dressed in authentic 80’s attire and situated in a mall, hinting that this is not just a flashback scene. Originally set for a December 2019 release, the film’s premiere was rescheduled to June 2020 to avoid clashing with Star Wars Rise of Skywalker. The first film, Wonder Woman, which was directed by Jenkins and earned a staggering $821 million globally, was released in 2017.
