Wonder Woman 2 Anticipation Thread

If title is Wonder Woman 1984 (and, yes, I know it is), then why didn't you use it for the thread title instead of Wonder Woman 2? :p

The perfect movie title itself might be:

"Wonder Woman 1.984, The Smell of Fear (and CFC Hairspray)"? :D

Kristen Wiig as Barbara Minerva:

I'm optimistic that Wiig pulls this off, provided the script writers have given her dramatic material that befits the character. In my years following superhero films I know well to give the actor a chance and not just think they've been typecast.
So far what we've seen looks great on all fronts.
Kudos on that children's hospital visit!!
 
Patty Jenkins has provided a reason for why the film is set in 1984:

One of my favorite things about making the original was that it took place during World War I in 1917, an era full of metaphors like modernity and the mechanized world. I grew up in the ’80s, and this has its own look and feel. The reason I am excited is it showed mankind at its best and worst. It was grand and wonderful, there was great music and there were elegant and beautiful things. But other things about the decade revealed the worst of us. To have Wonder Woman in that period of time that was us at our most extreme, is wonderful.​
 
She could be playing a descendant of Etta Candy. Etta is an African-American USAF officer in current continuity.
 


The Wonder Woman cast seems to be having all kinds of fun -- and hitting some nostalgia points for those of us who grew up in the 80's... this is the kind of stuff that makes us love the Marvel movies (and this past year was an 80's thing going on, at least with some of the Marvel commercials/soundtracks).

This is what makes WW an exception to my calling it the DC Film Universe.

Now, I grew up in the 80's, but wasn't a particular fan of the Breakfast Club...but this makes me more excited for the film. Great job, so far!!

(And i kinda have my doubt with Kristin Wiig as Cheetah...but this helps me keep an open mind)

p.s. why was Zack Snyder given so much creative control....wish they found Patty Jenkins first!
 
American Ninja Warrior competitor and professional stunt woman Jessie Graff wasn't able to compete in the finals this year because she is to busy working on WW1984.
 
In the comics from the Golden and Silver Ages the Amazons were more scientifically advanced than Man's World. The modern take, not so much.
If I had to hazard a guess, the Amazons were technologically advanced, yet chose to live a simple lifestyle and not develop modern weaponry. After the death of so many trained warriors at the hands of conscripts with rifles, they reversed course and began building the tools and weapons they would need to defend themselves.

I'm sorry, but . . . it goes against what Diana had revealed about her past life in "Batman v. Superman". Perhaps I'll still like it, but I will forever regard this 1984 setting as the worst aspect of this film.
 
That's pretty much been ignored since the first Wonder Woman, so that's not really the fault of WW1984.

There has only been one Wonder Woman film so far. "Batman v. Superman" established that Diana had more or less kept to herself between 1918 and 2015. This was reaffirmed in "Justice League".

It merely said she didn't step into the public spotlight. Doesn't mean she wasn't active during these years.

They already said that they will not be using that as canon as it does not fit their version of the character.
