San Diego Comic-Con 2016 is set to be a huge event for all comic book and movie fans, but for DC fans in particular there are two major movies to look out for: David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, which is out next month, and Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman, which is set for release next summer and will see Gal Gadot (Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice) take center stage as the Amazonian warrior.
She was originally attached to direct Thor: The Dark World, but left the project due to creative differences, so Wonder Woman will be her first comic book movie.
Wonder Woman’s fighting outfit appears to be the same as her Batman V Superman costume, but she’s using a different sword and shield in this origin story.
Wonder Woman takes place a century prior to the events of Batman V Superman, during the First World War, and will follow a younger and more naive version of Diana Prince as she explores the world outside of Themyscira, finding romance along the way with classic comic book love interest Steve Trevor (Chris Pine).
