See the first official picture from DC’s Wonder Woman, and find out who’s joining Gal Gadot in the superhero adventure.
This morning, we had some very exciting Wonder Woman updates (we’re still kind of amazed this movie is finally happening!).
First of all, here’s our first official look at Gal Gadot as the titular heroine (aka Diana Prince):
Gadot tweeted this image out herself, writing, “Almost 75 years in the making… #WonderWoman is underway.” Oh, the feels!
Of course, we’ve already seen her as Wonder Woman in the Batman v. Superman promotional material, but this is Wonder Woman in full form — and this movie isn’t lumping her in between two male heroes.
Warner Bros. has also released the official press release announcing the full cast and crew.
There’s Chris Pine as Diana’s love interest, along with a few surprise additions, as Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Ewen Bremner, Saïd Taghmaoui, Elena Anaya and Lucy Davis are all officially named in this statement.
Principal photography is underway on Warner Bros. Pictures’ Wonder Woman feature film, the highly anticipated action adventure from director Patty Jenkins (“Monster,” AMC’s “The Killing”), starring Gal Gadot (the “Fast & Furious” movies) in the role of Diana Prince/Wonder Woman. The character will make her big screen debut this spring in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” but the new film will mark her first time headlining a feature.
The film also stars Chris Pine (the “Star Trek” films) as Captain Steve Trevor, Robin Wright (“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” Netflix’s “House of Cards”), Danny Huston (“Clash of the Titans,” “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”), David Thewlis (the “Harry Potter” films, “The Theory of Everything”), Ewen Bremner (“Exodus: Gods and Kings,” “Snowpiercer”), Saïd Taghmaoui (“American Hustle”), Elena Anaya (“The Skin I Live In”) and Lucy Davis (“Shaun of the Dead”).
The film is being produced by Charles Roven, Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder, with Richard Suckle, Stephen Jones, Wesley Coller, Geoff Johns and Rebecca Roven serving as executive producers.
Joining Jenkins behind the camera are director of photography Matthew Jensen (“Chronicle,” “Fantastic Four,” HBO’s “Game of Thrones”), Oscar-nominated production designer Aline Bonetto (“Amélie,” “A Very Long Engagement,” “Pan”), and Oscar-winning editor Martin Walsh (“Chicago,” “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,” “V for Vendetta”), and Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming (“The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Topsy-Turvy”).
Principal photography will take place on location in the UK, France and Italy.
Set to open in 2017, the Wonder Woman feature film is based on characters created by William Moulton Marston, appearing in comic books published by DC Entertainment. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
About a week ago, we reported that Nicole Kidman was in talks to join Wonder Woman as Queen Hippolyta, Diana Prince’s biological mother. Seems like that role might have gone to Robin Wright, though her character has not yet been named.
