Wonder Woman hits US theaters on June 23, 2017. Jenkins directs from a script penned by Jason Fuchs. The film will open at the box office, facing competition from The Divergent Series: Ascendant (06/09), Tom Cruise's Mummy reboot (06/09), World War Z 2 (06/09), Kingsman 2 (06/13) and Transformers 5 (06/23). Gal Gadot stars as the titular hero, with Connie Nielsen portraying her mother, Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons. Robin Wright co-stars as General Antiope while Lisa Loven Kongsli plays Lt. Menalippe. Chris Pine makes his DCEU debut as Steve Trevor and Lucy Davis plays Etta Candy, "Diana Prince's" best friend. Rounding out the cast are Danny Huston, Saïd Taghmaoui and Elena Anaya.
