Wonder Woman 2: Everything you need to know

Prepare yourself for a leap across time between the first and second movies. Wonder Woman was set in 1918 at the end of World War I, whereas the sequel looks like it's going to be set in the '80s and follow a Cold War narrative. Initially it looked like we would find Diana in the modern day – which would put her in a post-Justice League world.

The '80s setting though suggests she'll be granted a second true standalone movie before she even encounters the likes of Batman and Superman.

We also know where Jenkins wants it set. Diana was based in the Louvre in the Wonder Woman, but the director has her eye on the home of superheroes – the United States.

"The story will take place in the US, which I think is right," Jenkins told Entertainment Weekly. "She's Wonder Woman. She's got to come to America. It's time."

There go our dreams of a Parisian adventure. At least Jenkins is committed to making Wonder Woman's invisible jet a big screen reality.

Although rumour had it that Warners was holding back on major DCEU announcements until it saw how Justice League performs in the autumn, we now have a confirmed Wonder Woman 2 release date.

Originally announced for December 13, 2019, the film is now coming more than a month earlier on November 1, 2019.

And there's lots more to come from the DCEU in the next few years – take a deep breath, because Aquaman, Batgirl, The Batman, Nightwing, Gotham City Sirens, Shazam!, Black Adam, The Flash, Suicide Squad 2, Justice League Dark and Green Lantern Corps are all on the slate.

Kristen Wiig Being Lassoed For Villain Role On ‘Wonder Woman 2’

EXCLUSIVE: The hot name for the villainess role in Wonder Woman 2 is Kristen Wiig. Word is that Warner Bros and DC are in talks with Wiig to play the role of Cheetah. The pic, which has Gal Gadot back and director Patty Jenkins, is set in the 80s in the Cold War. Sounds like this will happen quickly, and a symbol of female empowerment gets a sequel where both main characters are women.

Wiig has proven her versatility during her run on Saturday Night Live, and she was Oscar-nominated for co-writing Bridesmaids, which also provided her breakout starring turn. This will be her first role as a super villain, so she continues to break new ground. Stay tuned. The film is top priority for Warner Bros, after the first grossed $821 million worldwide.

Need that Nubia appearance

 

[kingdarius]

villain was trash in the first one and it was still solid so clearly they dont need a "great" villain. Wiig as cheetah would be trash tho, shes just not physically imposing enough. Not fine enough either ....i wish they would've went with circe in the first flick tbh cuz then i wouldnt want her in this one and cheetah would be my first choice. Guess we'll see how patty handles hand to hand combat fights this go round tho. First movie was mostly just WW beating up regular ppl with no fight back so i hope that choreography on point

 

[Chris Cool]

Kristen wiig?

 

[Clark Wayne]

Don’t have a problem with Wiig and seems like Jenkins really wants her for the role so

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Could they pull off Giganta?

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

1980's setting should be dope. Jenkins nailed the WW1 look in the first film, she should do great with the 80s setting

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

The 1980s setting is something I didn't expect.
