Wonder Woman 1984 was originally supposed to be released in December 2019, and it shows: the plot concerns a failed businessman turned television personality who – through greed and hubris – takes the world to the brink of nuclear annihilation.

The film, a sequel to the 2017 origin story Wonder Woman, stars Gal Gadot as Diana Prince (aka Princess of Diana of Themyscira, aka Wonder Woman), who is keeping a low profile – foiling the odd low-level crime while working in the archives of the Smithsonian museum.

The events of Wonder Woman’s other appearances in the DC Extended Universe – in Batman vs Superman and Justice League – are still years in the future.

But it’s been decades since the events of her first standalone film, set during the First World War, and Prince still pines for American pilot Steve Trevor (played by Chris Pine), whose death still haunts her.
