As expected, several studios shelled out some big bucks to air new ads for a number of upcoming movies duringSuper Bowl LIlast night, with fans being treated to footage from 20th Century Fox’sLogan, Universal’sThe Fate of the Furious, Paramount’sBaywatchand more. One studio that completely sat out last night’s festivities was Warner Bros., but now that the big game is over, the studio has debuted a new international TV spot for its highly-anticipated superhero adventureWonder Woman, in theaters July 2. This 60-second spot features footage ofGal Gadotas the title character, as she steps up to save the world.
This 60-second TV spot surfaced on YouTube after the big game, which doesn’t feature any new footage from the previous trailers, but it will certainly give fans an exciting refresher to get fans ready for this superhero adventure, in theaters June 2. The movie will only have the animated comedyCaptain Underpantsas its solebox office competitor, but it will be sandwiched between two other highly-anticipated superhero movies. One month earlier, Marvel will debutGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which kicks off the summer movie season on May 5, and one month later, the studio will also release their Sony Pictures co-productionSpider-Man: Homecoming, which arrives on July 7.
Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot named Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers, and her true destiny. The supporting cast includesEwen Bremner,Robin Wright,David Thewlis,Danny Huston,Elena Anaya,Lucy DavisandConnie Nielsen.
Much likeBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeandSuicide Squadbefore it, rumors have recently surfaced thatWonder Womanis a “mess,” with an insider reportedly claiming that the movie was “very disjointed” after catching an early screening. However, another report from November claimed that Warner Bros. was much more confident in the DCEU after the movie was screened on the studio lot. DirectorPatty Jenkinsalso shot down earlier reports that the movie was in trouble, but it remains to be seen if the audience will come out in droves like they did forBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeandSuicide Squad, which, despite being trashed by the critics, both fared well at the box office.
Despite the critical drubbingBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicetook, one of the few high points for most critics was the debut ofGal Gadot’s Diana Prince, a.k.a. Wonder Woman.Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justicealso set up thatWonder Womandoes not exactly look her age, withBen Affleck’s Bruce Wayne discovering a photo of Diana from World War I that dates back 100 years, where she’s seen alongside a number ofWonder Womancharacters such asChris Pine’s Steve Trevor.Wonder Womanwill take fans to the title character’s homeland ofThemyscira, along with World War I-era London, with a third setting bringing the title character back to present day, most likely to connectWonder Womanwith the upcomingJustice League, in theaters November 17. Take a look at this newWonder Womanas we wait for more updates between now and the June 2 release date.
