'Wonder Woman' production is underway, revealing new look for the heroine and cast list
Die-hard Wonder Woman fans have been eagerly
waiting years to see their favorite Amazonian princess from the popular DC
Comics lasso villains and fight for justice.
A few peeks have finally arrived, as actress
Gal Gadot has posted a photo of herself on her Twitter and Facebook in her
superhero outfit while Warner Bros. has finally announced that production on
the 2017 "Wonder Woman" film is officially underway in the UK, France
and Italy, reports Forbes.
The movie, which will be directed by Patty
Jenkins, has also had more of its cast members revealed by Warner Bros., which
in addition to Gadot playing Diana Prince/Wonder Woman will include Chris Pine
("Star Trek") as her love interest, Captain Steve Trevor.
Other members of the cast (whose roles are
still unannounced) include Robin Wright ("House of Cards"), Danny
Huston ("X-Men Origins: Wolverine"), David Thewlis ("Harry
Potter" series), Ewen Bremner ("Snowpiercer"), Saïd Taghmaoui
("American Hustle"), Elena Anaya ("The Skin I Live In") and
Lucy Davis ("Shaun of the Dead").
Gadot emphasizes how long it took to finally
bring the Wonder Woman character to the big screen, posting her costume photo
with the caption "Almost 75 years in the making...Wonder Woman is
underway." Before this film, for decades fans have had to be content with
re-watching the '70s "Wonder Woman" TV show starring Lynda Carter and
various animated films.
Those hoping for a wider look at Diana
Prince's world also recently got a quick look at other characters from the
movie.
Just last week, we saw photos of "Wonder
Woman" actors Pine and Taghmaoui dressed in 1940s-period costumes, as well
as their actor chairs. Both photos were accidentally posted then removed from
Taghmaoui's Instagram account.
"Wonder Woman" is due to hit
theaters worldwide on June 23, 2017, however, fans will be seeing Wonder Woman
much sooner in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" -- directed by
Zack Snyder -- in March 2016.
