Some New WONDER WOMAN 1984 Footage Has Screened and Here's a Description
We won’t see any footage from DC’s Wonder Woman 1984 officially released until December when the first trailer is going to drop. But, some new footage was recently screened at WarnerMedia’s big HBO Max presentation.
Thanks to IGN, we have a description of that footage to share with you and it finds Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) in Washington DC. It also teases some of the action that we’ll be seeing in the film. Here’s the description:
Much of the footage appears to be set in Washington DC. We see a shot of Diana and Steve Trevor walking in front of the Washington Monument. Diana is wearing a white, Greek goddess-inspired dress and reaches out to caress Steve's cheek. Her voice-over narration mourns, “I can almost see it, like a beautiful dream.”
That narration would seem to suggest this is a dream sequence of some sort, though the footage itself looks real enough.
A second scene lends more credence to the idea that Steve Trevor is alive and well and not just a figment of Diana's imagination. We see Wonder Woman battling enemies inside the White House while wearing her new armor. She protects Steve from gunfire, grabs a gun and unloads it in slow-motion and pulls foes closer with her lasso. Another cryptic shot shows her whipping her lasso around to possibly deflect or redirect a bolt of lightning. Could she be fighting Zeus?
I’ve seen a little bit of footage from this movie and I liked what I saw, but this footage sounds a lot more exciting!
While we don’t have any official information on the story yet, it has been rumored that the plot “involves Diana Prince acting as a spy during the Cold War. Her mission? Hunt down a nefarious Russian spy. This film will also deviate from the Wonder Woman timeline established in Batman v. Superman. In Wonder Woman: 1984 the character is already known as a superhero.”
The movie is being directed by Patty Jenkins and also stars Pedro Pascal as Maxwell Lord and Kristin Wiig as Barbara Minerva a.k.a. Cheetah. For any additional possibly spoiler-filled information on the film, click here.
Wonder Woman 1984 opens in theaters on June 5th, 2020.
