Mar 13, 2017 DC Comics By Christopher Roberts

Last July the first trailer for the highly anticipated DC Comics adaptation Wonder Woman debuted at San Diego Comic-Con and online and then in November the second trailer debuted. Now here’s a new trailer for the film, which is due out June 2, 2017 via Warner Bros. It is labeled the “Official Origin Trailer” and shows off footage of the heroine as a young girl, as well as more action from the movie. Watch is below.

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. 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.
