Nov 03, 2016 DC Comics By Christopher Roberts

Back in July the first trailer for the highly anticipated DC Comics adaptation Wonder Woman debuted at San Diego Comic-Con and online. Now here’s a new trailer for the film, which is due out June 2, 2017 via Warner Bros.

Israeli actress Gal Gadot stars as Wonder Woman/Dianna Prince, reprising her role from this year’s Batman V Superman. And although that film had a decidedly mixed reaction, even most detractors agreed Gadot was a highlight. Wonder Woman also features Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, along with Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Ewen Bremner, Connie Nielsen, Lucy Davis, and others. Patty Jenkins directs.

Wonder Woman takes place during World War I and the trailer shows off more scenes of the heroine on the battlefield, ready to taken on German soldiers, but also shows more of her home on Paradise Island. Plus there’s of course some bullets bouncing off her bracelets.

The original Wonder Woman comics took place in World War II, which is also when the character debuted, but perhaps the filmmakers wanted to set it apart from the WWII-set Captain America: The First Avenger. Also, there have been other superhero movies set in the WWII era but it’s hard to think of one that’s taken place in WWI. Since Wonder Woman ages slowly, it also still gives them the chance to set future Wonder Woman films in different decades if they see fit. Watch below.
