Words Chris Wasey

Diana Prince has chosen a simple, anonymous life. But fate soon throws the Amazonian into battle again as two of her longest-standing comic book nemeses come to the big screen.

There’s business tycoon Maxwell Lord, whose dangerous search for magical relics to increase his self-help empire carries ominous consequences, and Barbara Minerva, a shy scientist who somehow transforms herself into the Cheetah; a cat-like villain who’s not only tough enough to wrestle with Wonder Woman, but much more ferocious! But that’s not all - there’s also the small matter of her lost love Steve Trevor who has somehow returned.

Wonder Woman became the highest-grossing female-led superhero movie of all-time, so fans will be thrilled to see director Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot reuniting for the hotly-anticipated sequel. Co-starring Pedro Pascal, Kristen Wiig, and Chris Pine, Wonder Woman 1984 promises to deliver all of the heart and charm from their first outing but on a much larger, and much more action-packed scale.

While the main narrative remains in semi stasis, the DCEU standalone projects continue to enjoy critical and commercial success. Following the award-winning Joker and brilliantly bonkers Birds Of Prey, and plenty of excitement on the horizon, for the first time in a long time, perhaps it’s now DC that’s the superhero franchise to be most excited about.

What's Next From DC?

The Batman

Bats is being rebooted with Robert Pattinson in the lead role. Details are light, but with Matt Reeves directing and an all-star cast - Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell, John Turturro - confirmed, The Batman has us very excited.

The Suicide Squad

Harley is back, as is Amanda Waller and Rick Flagg, but a new cast makes this a pseudo-sequel / soft reboot. In a coup for DC, they have Guardians Of The Galaxy's James Gunn as director. Here's hoping he can mix an oddball ensemble with high-stakes action again.
