Say what you will about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but Wonder Woman's introduction was a triumph for Warner Bros. Now, all eyes are on her solo outing being amazing, especially as the hope is that it will turn things around for female superheroes in regards to them getting their own movies. Should this release fail, it will be a blow to both the genre and further damages the DC Films Universe.
We're getting a little ahead of ourselves there, though, and we'll find out in just a few weeks how good Wonder Woman will be. In the meantime, we've decided to take a closer look at what might be to come in the movie. Set during the dark days of World War I, you may not think that the movie will have a particularly significant impact on this world, but it really could shape the future of this universe.
So, with that in mind, we've taken a look at everything we know so far about Wonder Woman (not to mention various rumours which have been doing the rounds) to come up with six wild predictions about what to expect from this movie. From character deaths to cameos and massive twists and turns that audiences won't see coming, even one of these coming true next month would be pretty HUGE...
6. Steve Trevor Dies
We need a good reason as to why Wonder Woman decided to hide from the world for so long and the death of the man she falls in love with makes perfect sense. A happily ever after ending just won't work for these two as Diana Prince heading to a cottage in the country with Steve Trevor just won't make for a conclusion which justifies why she kept her head down until Batman v Superman.
It is, of course, possible that seeing humanity at their worst during World War I will play a role in this decision, but something truly awful is going to have to happen to the Amazon warrior if Warner Bros. realistically hopes to convince us that she sat out conflicts like World War II, Vietnam, and Iraq. Steve's murder at the hands of Ares should be enough, especially as it will probably leave her in a place where she just can't fight anymore. However, there is another equally likely and shocking possibility...
1. Wonder Woman Wins The War
Up until now, this list of predictions has admittedly been quite bleak, but I do think that Wonder Woman will emerge from this movie with a big victory. As well as inevitably defeating Ares, I believe that the hero is going to be the one humanity has to thank for winning and ending the war. Of course, no one will ever know that, but Diana isn't the type to look for credit and will obviously want to avoid the public eye after facing potentially two tragedies here.
While director Patty Jenkins has talked about future movies taking place in the present, I can't help but think that we'll revisit the hero at various points in history, with World War II having a hell of a lot of potential if a fresh direction can be found which doesn't feel like a retread. It's also possible that this movie could set up the events of Justice League is the disappearance of the Amazons has something to do with them holding on to one of Darkseid's Mother Boxes.
Do you guys think any of these predictions will come true? What are yours? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
