The first trail­er for Won­der Woman is here

03 Nov 2016

Words by Lara C Cory

Gal Gadot gets a long-await­ed solo run-out as America’s pre­mière super­hero siren.

Uncle Zack may not have giv­en Gal Gadot’s Won­der Woman the most aus­pi­cious start in life with an extend­ed cameo appear­ance in his blar­ing abom­i­na­tion, Bat­man vs Super­man: Dawn of Jus­tice, but we have high(er) hopes for this stand alone fea­ture. ​“Pow­er. Grace. Wis­dom. Won­der.” states the breath­less tagline, as DC make a play for their first non-awful, non-Bat­man com­ic book blockbuster.

This one, from this first peek, looks at least to have muf­fled the angu­lar grum­bling and solip­sis­tic machis­mo, and no film can be tru­ly awful that con­tains scenes set in Paris’ high seat of cul­ture, the Lou­vre. Direc­tor Pat­ty Jenk­ins will be best known for her award-both­er­ing por­trait of Aileen Wuornos, Mon­ster, so fin­gers and toes crossed that she can drag just a mod­icum of the inten­si­ty from that film across to this one.
