Back in October, just weeks after Warner Bros. andDC Comicsunveiled their fullsuperhero movieslate, a rumor surfaced that the studio’s stand aloneWonder Womanmovie may actually be a prequel toBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, set in the 1920s. That report was never confirmed, but another report claimed thatWonder Womanmay be hundreds of years old inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, rumors which have many fans wondering how the story may play out, between both movies. A new report has surfaced fromDen of Geek, which claims thatWonder Womanwill actually have multiple settings.
The site’s source claims that each act of the story may have its own setting, with all three said to span just over 100 years. The first setting isWonder Woman’s home island of Themyscira, which has been her home since the character debuted in theDC Comicsback in the 1940s. An exact year for the Themyscira setting was not given, but the second time period will be during World War I, specifically the year 1916, right in the middle of the war. The third setting will be in modern day, tying intoJustice League Part 1, which hits theaters on June 28, 2025, five months afterWonder Womanhits theaters. Exact locations weren’t given for the World War I and modern day settings, but we’ll have to wait and see if these details are confirmed or not.
The report also claims that Diana of Themyscira may actually have a differentWonder Womancostume, which falls in line with an April report that claims there are six different costumes being designed for the title character, including a “dive suit” and a “classic standard costume.” We’ve already seenWonder Woman’sBatman v Supermancostume, and it’s possible that this will be her most modern look. No details were given for the other costumes that may be used in the previous settings.
Productionis scheduled to begin next month onWonder Woman, which will reportedly film on location in London and the Basilicata island in Italy, which is rumored to be used for Themyscira scenes.Chris Pineis playing the title character’s love interest, Steve Trevor, but no other cast members have been confirmed yet. There was a rumor that surfaced last month, which revealed the studio is eyeingSean Beanto play Ares, the God of War, whileEva Greenis being courted to play Circe The Sorceress.
Patty Jenkinsis directing from a screenplay byJason Fuchs(Pan). Do you like the idea ofWonder Woman’s story being told through three very distinct settings? Or would you prefer the whole movie to be set in just one of these time periods? Let us know what you think and stay tuned for more onWonder Woman.
