Press screeners for Wonder Woman 1984 didn't include the film's post-credits scene in an effort to give fans something to look forward to when the film is released...without it being spoiled beforehand. The flaw in that logic, however, is that the sequel started arriving in theaters overseas today.
That leaves Wonder Woman fans in the U.S. waiting over a week to watch the film in theaters or on HBO Max, so as the title suggests, we now have details on what this mid-credits scene entails.
--- MAJOR SPOILER WARNING ---
Bleeding Cool reveals that the scene stars original Wonder Woman television actress Lynda Carter. It's revealed that her name is Asteria, the previous owner of the Golden Eagle armor Diana Prince wears in Wonder Woman 1984. After saving someone, the Themysciran warrior mentions that she's "been doing this all this time," a hint, perhaps, that she has been serving as a hero in the shadows for many hundreds of years (and since first finding her way to the world of man). The actress winks at the camera as the scene ends, a tongue-in-cheek nod to Carter's past as Wonder Woman.
This isn't the most detailed of descriptions, and we hope to have more for you soon, but this would explain Carter's past comments that Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins had asked her to cameo.
The stinger is a fun one, but whether it will lead to anything is a mystery for the time being. However, many fans would appreciate seeing a Gal Gadot/Lynda Carter team-up in an eventual Wonder Woman 3 (likely to be a ways away now Jenkins is tackling Rogue Squadron for Lucasfilm).
