Wonder Woman

Fans were enamored by Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman, and soon, they will learn just how an immortal princess rose to become the unstoppable warrior we see today. Gal Gadot will be back to take on the titular character in her first top-billed film, out June 23, 2017, with Chris Pine starring as Steve Trevor.

"I am so happy to be the one who is going to tell the Wonder Woman story," Gadot said earlier this month at a Batman v Superman press event. "It is such an important story to tell. It is so important for girls and boys to have a female, strong, superhero to look up to."

And the female empowerment doesn't stop with Gadot – the film is being directed by Monster helmer Patty Jenkins.
