Not only that, Gal Gadot's action can also be watched online through the HBO Max streaming platform.

WONDER WOMAN 1984 will continue the life of Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) in the human world after defeating Ares in the film WONDER WOMAN (2017). Directed by Patty Jenkins, this film becomes a continuation of the DCEU universe. Before watching the film, let's first learn about 5 facts about WONDER WOMAN 1984!

1. The return of Steve Trevor

In WONDER WOMAN (2017), Steve Trevor played by Chris Pine sacrificed himself to save mankind. He flew a plane containing poison as far away from land as possible, causing the plane to explode and taking Steve's life. His departure also enabled Wonder Woman to defeat Ares, the God of War.

However, in the trailer for WONDER WOMAN 1984, Steve Trevor is seen still alive. His appearance remains the same. His presence surprises many fans. It is told that he has lost his memory, and it seems we will be shown the complexity of the love between Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor.

2. Facing the Arch-Enemy

Every superhero always has an arch-enemy. If Batman always faces the Joker, then Wonder Woman always faces Cheetah. Cheetah, whose real name is Barbara Minerva, is actually a friend of Wonder Woman.

In the comics, Barbara Minerva is always jealous of Wonder Woman's stable life, and one day she is cursed with the power of Cheetah, which makes her attempt to conquer Wonder Woman. Portrayed by Kristen Wiig, we will be shown an intense battle between Wonder Woman and Cheetah on the big screen.

3.  New Abilities

Cheetah's amazing abilities certainly make Wonder Woman cautious. Therefore, in WONDER WOMAN 1984, she showcases some new abilities to combat Cheetah. In the trailer, Wonder Woman is seen using her lasso to deflect enemy bullets. Not only that, she also uses her lasso to swing among lightning.

Wonder Woman, who is now facing Cheetah, can no longer use her blue and red costume. She must anticipate Cheetah's sharp claws and fast movements. Therefore, Wonder Woman introduces the Golden Eagle armor. She wears the golden armor in the trailer to avoid Cheetah's attacks. Golden Eagle armor also has wings, indicating that the DCEU version of Wonder Woman will have the power of flight like in the comics.

4.Cheetah is not alone

Cheetah will not face Wonder Woman alone. The WONDER WOMAN 1984 trailer shows that Cheetah (Kristen Wiig) will be assisted by Maxwell Lord, played by Pedro Pascal. Wonder Woman will now have to face two formidable enemies at once in the sequel.

Maxwell Lord is just a businessman in the 1980s. It is told that one day he gains the power to control someone's mind. In the comics, Maxwell Lord plays a significant role in Wonder Woman's life. Fans are eagerly anticipating his appearance. Many consider the appearance of Steve Trevor to be the work of Maxwell Lord.

5. Showing in Two Places

In addition to facing 2 enemies, the movie WONDER WOMAN 1984 will also be shown in two different places. As a step in facing the Covid-19 pandemic, Warner Bros has made the decision to screen WONDER WOMAN 1984 both offline and online.

Offline, WONDER WOMAN 1984 will be shown as usual through cinemas, following the applicable health protocols. Online, WONDER WOMAN 1984 will have its premiere on the streaming platform HBO Max.

6. Pioneer of a New Style

WONDER WOMAN 1984 is expected to be a pioneer of a new style of movie screening. After deciding to release WONDER WOMAN 1984 in cinemas and on the HBO Max streaming platform, Warner Bros has now decided to do the same for all its films in 2021.
