'Wonder Woman' 2017: How Will Diana Prince's Story Differ In Standalone Movie? [VIDEO]
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice may be what everyone is talking about heading into this weekend, but many are just as hyped for another future DC movie: Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) has a supporting role in Batman v Superman, giving moviegoers a taste of what they will see in the iconic superhero's first live action standalone feature film.
Now there's a new promotional photo courtesy of Entertainment Weekly that shows the main characters in the Wonder Woman movie, including Gadot's titular character/Diana Prince, Connie Nielsen as her mother, Queen Hippolyta, Robin Wright as her aunt, General Antiope and her other aunt, Menalippe (Lisa Loven Kongsli).
Godot also spoke with the Los Angeles Times about the major differences fans will see between Batman v Superman and Wonder Woman.
"The Wonder Woman you're going to see in Batman v Superman is a very different Wonder Woman that you will see in the standalone movie," Gadot confirmed. "The Wonder Woman that you see in Batman v Superman is a woman who has been around, and she's very experienced. She understands a lot about man. Whereas in the standalone movie we are telling the grown-up story. Diana becoming Wonder Woman, and this was a story that was never told before. When she starts this journey, she's very pure. She's more naive, she's this young idealist who does not really understand the complexities of life and the complexities of men."
Through playing Wonder Woman, Gadot has had an interesting road in getting to know her character. Considering Batman v Superman takes place after the events of Wonder Woman, she is almost going through the process of learning about her in reverse.
"I've learned a lot. It's funny because I'm going through an opposite process. Usually when you work on a character you start at the beginning and then you go to the end. I started at the end and then I went to the beginning [in] shooting the solo movie," she said. "I learned a lot about her. I think that she's such a unique superhero. She has the strength of a goddess and the heart of a man. That makes her so special and relatable."
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens nationwide this weekend.
Wonder Woman will be released June 23, 2017.
