Everything you need to know about “Wonder Woman 1984 ″

Patty Jenkins, screenwriter and director of “Wonder Woman 1984”, gave new scope to the expected second part of the film about Wonder Woman starring Gal Gadot. Among the various novelties, the filmmaker made it clear that this new story is not a sequel as many think.

“We did not return to the history where we left it for the last time, because it was 66 years ago, so she has lived for more than six decades alone, in the world of man, serving humanity and doing good, and this history is a history own, I mean, the only thing we share in both stories is probably, you know, the fact that it’s Diana Prince and also Steve Trevor, but other than that it’s a whole new world and the era is different, Diana is different and the story is new ”, said the filmmaker in an interview with the British magazine Total Film.

Kristen Wiig, who plays the villain Cheetah on the tape, seconded Jenkins and opined about this continuation: “It really doesn’t feel like a sequel, everything is different, the posters, the music, everything … Obviously the posters They are different! I mean, like the style! Many times, with the sequel, you want to show the connection with the first one and this is not the case ”, explained the actress.

Possible trilogy

Jenkins also discussed possible projects with “Wonder Woman” and these include a third of the film and a spin-off about the Amazons.

“I’m not going to come up with a new idea until this movie comes out, because I want to take a breather and keep my mind fresh,” Jenkins explained. “But yes, there is an arc that I have in mind for the first movie, and then the second movie, and then the Amazon movie, and then the third movie.”

However, Jenkins went ahead to make it clear that in the case the Amazon tape was given the green light, it would not be she who directed it.

“I’m not going to direct it, hopefully,” he smiles. “I’m going to really try not to. It won’t be easy But [el coguionista de WW84 y ex presidente y director creativo de DC Entertainment] Geoff Johns and I came up with the story, and we sold the launch, and we’re going to launch it. I will produce it, for sure, ”he declared.

Wonder Woman and the pandemic

Despite revealing her future projects with the DC superhero, Jenkins is cautious and does not assume that everything that is a conversational project right now can materialize in the future. He has also said that the pandemic that plagues the world today will surely be linked in some way to the life of Wonder Woman in an upcoming installment.

“I hit the pause button,” said the director about “Wonder Woman 3.” “Because the truth is that the plot came from the state we were in six months ago. And I want to make sure that I fully absorb whatever the result of this pandemic is, ”he clarified.

The new Steve Trevor

Other news that we will see in “Wonder Woman 1984” is the return of Chris Pine in his role as pilot Steve Trevor. In the same interview with Total Film, the actor did not explain how the return of his character is justified, who dies in the first tape but did give a preview of his personality in this new installment.

“What I will say about him is that he is deeply moved. He is excited to be back with Diana. He is excited about this world. In tone it is different because it is not tired of the world. It’s a 180 degree turn to the tone of the character in the first movie, “he said.

¿Inspirados en Donald Trump?

The secrecy with which the plot of “Wonder Woman 1984” is kept triggered by pointing out that the character of Maxwell Lord, played by Pedro Pascal is inspired by Donald Trump. On this rumor, Patty Jenkins compared Pedro la’s interpretation to Gene Hackman’s as Lex Luthor in 1978’s Superman: “He’s a villain with the potential to be dangerous and terrifying.”

Premiere

The release of “Wonder Woman” is scheduled for October 2 after being postponed to June and then to August this year. “When we greenlighted WW 1984, it was fully intended to be seen on the big screen and we are pleased to announce that Warner Bros. Pictures will be bringing the film to theaters on August 14. We hope the world is a safer and healthier place by then, ”said Warner Bros Motion Picture Group President Toby Emmerich at the time.

It should be noted that other films such as “Tenet” by Christopher Nolan and “Mulan” by Disney were postponed for the second time due to the resurgence of coronavirus cases in the United States.
