Wonder Woman is taking a similar approach to the first Captain America movie, but rather than take her to World War II like when her comic book counterpart debuted (i.e. around 1941 or so), the Patty Jenkins-helmed movie opted to move back over 20 years earlier to the First World War’s final year.
There was a lot of exciting material shown at San Diego Comic-Con this past Saturday, but among the highlights was the first Wonder Woman trailer being released.
However, of everything packed into the trailer, it was Wonder Woman’s World War I setting that made the biggest impression on us.
We’ve known for over a while that Wonder Woman would be set in World War I, and some of us have even looked at the leaked set pictures and videos showing the early 20th century costumes, architecture, vehicles, etc. However, seeing the setting in an action-packed trailer was a more exciting experience.
